My fantasy football league's 'last place' punishment is getting way out of hand.
By @vincesorta · Too Far
The punishment for losing our league this year is to take the SAT. Not a practice test, the actual, official SAT with a bunch of high schoolers. I am 32 years old.
The full story
So I've been in this fantasy football league with the same 11 guys since college. The punishments for last place started out pretty normal, like having to wear a rival team's jersey. Then it escalated to doing a stand-up comedy open mic night, which was brutal. But this year, they've lost their minds. The commissioner announced that whoever comes in last place has to register for and take the official SAT. Like, for real. Go to a high school on a Saturday morning, sit in a tiny desk for four hours, and fill in bubbles with a No. 2 pencil next to a bunch of 17-year-olds who are actually trying to get into college. My team is TERRIBLE this year. I'm projected to finish dead last. I told them this is a bridge too far. It's not just embarrassing, it feels genuinely weird for a grown man to be in that room. A few of them are saying I'm trying to weasel out of it and that I have to go through with it if I lose. This is a dumb joke that has gone on for too long, but now I'm worried they'll actually kick me out of the league if I refuse.

What people are saying
@oookayyy — you gotta do it sorry i dont make the rules
@vinceliterally — Our league has a simple rule: if you want to veto a punishment you have to pay the winner of the league $100. Keeps things from getting too insane.
@hollymaybe — What was YOUR idea for the punishment then?
@karawelp — Did you guys vote on this or did the commissioner just decide it?
@hankee — lmaoooo
