KNOW YOUR PLAYERS. BUT NOT TOO WELL. PDF Print E-mail

We’ve all had Bromances and Man Crushes on ‘our’ players.  Guys who have performed magic for our team with clutch TDs and multiple rebounds.  On the flipside there is also the player who we feel is trying to undermine our team with their pathetic play.  They could have a great career but we wouldn’t touch them with a ten-foot pole if they burned us for one season. 

Basically the emotions run the gamut on how we react to the players that we ‘own’.  This is nothing new as people have formed attachments, sometimes unhealthy ones, with public figures that they have never met.  But how does this all play out in the appropriately-named Fantasy Sports world?  I had no idea, so I asked an expert.  

Ellis Cashmore is a professor of Sociology, Sport and Culture.   He has authored books on topics ranging from TV to Rastafarians to Sports Science. Perhaps most apropos to this topic is his book Celebrity Culture, which explored our connection with celebrities.  In Fantasy Sports, our celebrities are the players.  Whether come through for us or let us down, they always force us to put a value on our relationship with them.

  • THE OTHER FANTASY FOOTBALL
    “Stats don’t mean a lot, mate.” This was a response to my post on Yahoo! UK’s Fantasy EPL site about choosing goalkeepers. Keep in mind, I’d written, that Fulham had only given up 2 goals at home in 6 games. Sure enough, Fulham kept a clean sheet that weekend. Stats do...
  • TO ROTO OR NOT TO ROTO
    This is not some mean-spirited indictment of all that Rotisserie represents. Rotisserie did represent the birth of fantasy sports and carried it well for a long time. But just as the beeper gave way to the cell phone, it's time to let Rotisserie rest.
