Booman Tribune members have two Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues going. Frog Marchers VIII. and Also Frog Marchers. I’ve been pressed back into service to be commissioner for the former. The latter has a separate commissioner who played last year.
UPDATE: The Also Frog Marchers League Commissioner tells he he has two (2) slots available if anyone is still interested. Contact me at stevendbt [at] yahoo [dot] com and I will pass along your names and emails to him to send you an invite to join.

Dear Steven D…
We have fantasy politics aplenty. From all sides.
Why would we need fantasy football?
Just sayin’…
AG
We’ve been doing these leagues for years now AG. There’s a number of folks who have participated over the years. So there’s that. I understand your sentiment, however.
That was just a comment on the fantasy “everything” in this society, Steven. We have a fantasy governmental system now…fantasy elections bought and sold by corporate money and promulgated through media that is owned by that money. We have a fantasy educational system, buttressed not by achievement but by multiple-answer tests and massive amounts of prescribed, psychoactive drugs. The drugs are used to control the students who act out in response to the bullshit, so-called ‘socialization” system in which they are required to stay until they are either broken of their natural resistance, go mad and/or become criminals or…the lucky… Read more »
isn’t anything people do for fun just a diversion?
Are you saying you don’t do anything for fun so you can stay focused and pure?

If your “fun” is a diversion from understanding the reality of the situation…on the most basic level here, the brain injuries widely suffered by these “heroes of the gridiron” who are in reality just disposable pawns in the corporate money-grinder…then yes. That is my position.
The “shock and awe” attacks on Iraq, the Trump-proposed “fire and fury” N. Korea threat, the overwhelmingly violent police presences in black neighborhoods, the ICE terror …all just NFL mainstream business writ large.
Accept it small?
You are more than halfway there to accepting it ever larger.
Wake the fuck up.

watching a movie, reading a book – all diversions from reality
reading blogs, commenting and rating comments – all diversions from reality
They’re all equally bad in your view?
It depends on the book or movie. Great art heightens reality. It educates us on any number of levels. Schlock? Not so much. Reading blogs, commenting and rating comments? That depends on the blog. This one was very constructive…and instructive, as well…for many years. Now? Also not so much. I do keep trying…but less and less. Booman seems to feel much the same way. I do not remember him ever publicly considering closing this site down, nor do I remember him taking a long time off for mental and emotional health reasons. The whole situation in this country is very… Read more »
Thank you SD
No problem.
Did you close your bold html tag?
I only bolded the UPDATE
