the lone star Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 So long story short, in my fantasy football league, a rule was written in such a way that I and at least two other people interpreted it differently from the way the commissioner intended it to be read. I wrote an email to the commissioner explaining how we interpreted it, but he got very angry (extremely short temper) and told me that I do not speak for other people, so I should not presume to. I did not specifically name the people who interpreted it differently, and I know they saw it my way because we all had discussions about it. Given this set of facts, have I actually spoken on anyone's behalf? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWil23 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Absolutely not. I'd say that this is how "we" interpreted it. If you made a blanket statement like "everyone", then yes. If you used that benefit of the doubt language, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuskieTitan Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Sounds like he knows he is wrong and is just arguing semantics. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 It sounds like the other person may lack a bit of spine. I mean, if you feel the need to maintain a lie about your interpretation of fantasy football rules.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 No, it's not. No issue with you expressing your viewpoint but it'd be nice to get others to express their viewpoints as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone star Posted February 6, 2018 Author Share Posted February 6, 2018 Yeah, I wanted them to speak up too, and one of them actually did, but I wasn't going to pressure anyone into it. I guess it just goes back to him having a short temper. People like that aren't fit for commissioner duty in my mind. Glad we both parted ways.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just now, the lone star said: "Other Person" = The Commissioner? Nah, the other ball bag who agreed with you but was too afraid to voice his opinion about fantasy sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that. But I guess I should have written that part out a little more. Although he agreed with me, he didn't feel compelled enough to say anything because regardless of how we interpreted it, he lost his player. So I think he was just upset about his own mismanagement, then the actual technical side of the rule. This was a dynasty FAAB league, so as I'm sure you know, it gets pretty complicated. I just don't have the time or resources to explain it all. The dude's a pretty cool guy, just got salty about losing the player, and he has a close family member in the hospital with a rare form of bone cancer, so his attention was needed elsewhere. Kinda surprised he didn't leave the league to focus on that tbh. Of course, had I known about the issue with the family member beforehand, I probably wouldn't have even touched his player, lol.
