Title: Fantasy Player Insurance???
Post by Philly on Aug 21^st, 2006, 11:33pm

Yes, it exists...

See for yourself... (http://www.fantasyplayerprotection.com/)

Any thoughts on this? It could almost be a game in and of itself. Find players who you think could be injured and take a chance!

Insurance!!! That's insane. That's the kind of crap that turns a game into something that it ought not be! How friggin' American is that? ;D

Let's face it... it's only disgusting because we didn't think of it first and aren't reaping the rewards. I wonder how many people actually use that service?

Honestly Philly...I can say that I am about as PURE hippie as you'll find these days in my thinking(sans drink and drugs) so the almighty dollar does not seduce me as much as the purity of something does. No, I'm not saying there is anything wrong with making a buck...but, I think things like this endeavour "soil" the hobby. Does anybody play for fun anymore? Insurance for fantasy players...hmmph!!

I know yhis is an over-the-top post for this..just wanted to let you know that the only rewards I seek to reap do not have monetary value!!

Maybe I misunderstood it, I only scanned it quickly, but it has to be a scam. If someone is in a money league, buys their insurance, and then loses - do they really expect to collect from these guys? [smiley=gimmeabreak.gif]

They're probably just trolling for some suckers, will get what they can, then close up shop.

I was just kidding with that post, MC... I wasn't trying to imply that you were being disingenuous in your beliefs.

Don't worry about me Philly..I am in no way shape or form PC in any respect.......I was just throwing something out there. I do not wear my feelings on my shoulder. Remember I am a smart arse [smiley=fireman.gif] who lives every third day with 9 other kids...err..grown men. We dog each other out non-stop and you learn to flow with everything...let's put it this way, nothing is sacred...your momma, your grand-momma, your kids, your wife, your "Johnson"......you get slammed for everything!! It's a blast...no need to ever apologize to me, though I appreciate the sentiment.
