For many Americans, Fantasy Football has nearly become a pastime throughout the fall and winter seasons. Just over 29 million people in the United States alone play fantasy football. You can be the head coach of a dream team while sitting on your couch, eating chips, and watching those players play. You can also be the GM (General Manager) of your team. The GM can make trades and a league without trades is boring. Last but not least, are the prizes and punishments of being in a fantasy football league. You can either make a bunch of money when you win or get all your hair cut off when you lose. Let’s see what the students of Southeast of Saline think about fantasy football.
Many people play fantasy football at Southeast of Saline. We have a little over 200 students and of those two-hundred students, twenty-three people responded to the survey. Twenty-one of the respondents play fantasy football. When you play fantasy football you can either be in a league with some friends or a league with random people. Twenty-one out of twenty-three respondents said they were in a fantasy football league with their friends while two said they were in a league with random people. Most people were in ten-man leagues, but others were in eight-man, twelve-man, and even fourteen-man leagues. The most common answer for the best player on your team was CMC (Christian McCaffrey) and Josh Allen.
Most respondents didn’t have a prize for taking first place, but others were receiving cash prizes that ranged from fifty dollars up to two hundred dollars. Even though you might not take first, you’re still a winner if you don’t take last place in some of these leagues. Lots of leagues in our community and even all over the nation have punishments for taking last place in these leagues. If you take last place in one particular Southeast student’s league, you will get covered in yogurt, dropped a mile away from someone’s house, and have to find your way back without using GPS. On the whole, this tradition continues to grow both at Southeast of Saline and beyond, and I, for one, am excited to see how this tradition carries on for years to come.
