Fantasy UnSports is a bold new endeavor in fantasy sports, one where the actual sports mean very little.
We award points based on what athletes do everywhere EXCEPT on the field. DUI? 50 points. Failed drug test? 25 points. Homicide? 500 points. 15 touchdowns in a season? Zero, zip, nada. I don’t care.
Let’s face it, the off-the-field stuff is bigger news these days than in-game performance is anyway. Quick quiz, who knows which former NFL running back has fathered as many as 11 kids with as many as 10 different women? I see everyone has their hand raised, including Mr. Henry. Now, who remembers which running back had more runs of 10+ yards in the 2008-2009 season?
That’s what I thought.
Why not have a fantasy sports game that awards points for all this ridiculous stuff the media focuses on? Why not predict and track the biggest train wrecks in football for the behavior we all secretly care more about anyway?
We welcome your input on how we can make this game better–and by “we” I mean “me,” as there is no one else here. You can email us at fantasyunsports@gmail.com, or just click the button below.
