Fantasy Sports Backlash

I was looking in the Denver Broncos blog a little while ago and Kim the writer of the blog commented on a site in which a woman talks about being a fantasy widow.

The reason this woman is against fantasy sports is because her husband found something more interesting to him than watching the style network and talking about how Oprah is getting fat….. again.

This stupid site is just proof positive that marriage is just not a good thing for most guys. We can’t do anything we like anymore and suddenly anything that we like or take an interest in is always bad or “stupid.” So here is my thoughts on something that many women regularly engage in and that I think is “stupid.”

Candle Parties are the worst, these are just about the most ridiculous things I have ever seen. You get invited to a party where you sit and eat food and drink alcohol (nothing wrong so far). But then here is the fun part…. You get to buy garbage!

Call me crazy but I don’t consider a party a party if I am expected to buy shit. You might as well invite me over and try to get me to join a cult or buy amway products.  They call these home shopping parties.

If I am invited to a party I like to bring something, a bottle of wine or maybe a dessert, whatever. But to invite me to a place where I am expected to buy a useless product like a candle or an air freshener is just distasteful.

When I go to a fantasy football draft that is fun for me a way to talk football for a few blissful hours making dirty jokes at others expense and just be a guy. I don’t have to be sensitive to others feelings or worry about kids or hear about that latest shopping excursion to the mall to but little johnny a pair of shoes.  I know what I am expected to do when I come to my draft. I put down my money but there is not “party” label attached to it and that is why fantasy sports make more sense. At least they are honest and the reason that fantasy sports are better.
