Fantasy football (American)

[Nebulous's iconNebulous]

Fantasy football is an interactive competition in which users compete against each other as general managers of virtual teams. The players that an individual is able to manage are professional American football players in the National Football League. The different actions people are able to make are drafting, trading, adding or dropping players, and changing rosters. Due to the growth of the Internet, Fantasy football has vastly increased in popularity, particularly because Fantasy football providers such as ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, and the NFL itself are able to keep track of statistics entirely online, eliminating the need to check box scores and newspapers regularly to keep track of players. Most leagues have a single week championship in Week 16 of the NFL season.

Are you involved in Fantasy Football?

No.

And given the example of the last few years, the NFL itself is something of a "fantasy football league".

And so we need a supercomputer to tell us that the Eagles are going to be an embarrassment to their professional sports league once again.

OK

A computer program called The Predictalator created by Prediction Machine simulated the NFL season 50,000 times, says that the 49ers are the most likely team to win the Super Bowl this season, winning in 20.1% of the simulations. The Eagles won the Super Bowl in 0.5% of the simulations.

No.

Fantasy sports should be banned world-wide.
