My fantasy league is trying to add a punishment for not setting your lineup.
By @fayeforsure · Sports
Our commish wants to fine people $5 if they have an injured player in their starting lineup for a week. I think it's way too much for a casual league.
The full story
Our fantasy baseball commish just proposed a new rule: if you forget to set your lineup and have an injured player starting, you owe the league pot $5. they says it's to keep the league competitive and stop 'dead teams' from giving away free wins. I think it's out of line. This is a for-fun league with a $20 buy-in, not the majors. We all have jobs and sometimes life gets in the way. Forgetting once shouldn't cost you money. Honestly, it feels like we're micromanaging the fun out of it. Am I wrong for wanting to veto this hard?

What people are saying
@jakeagain — I have a feeling you're the main reason this rule is even being proposed.
@quinnok2 — It's five dollars.
@niamaybe — Our fantasy football loser had to go to a WNBA game in the opposing team's jersey lol, a $5 fine is nothing.
@tessfr — Your commish has some serious main character syndrome and needs to chill out.
@gusliterally — deliberately start a full roster of injured players and see what happens
