Fantasy Football the Jocks’ Role Playing Game

Junk: 07.22.07 Observations

After his “glory days” are behind him the jock must find an outlet for his desire to be in the lime-light, brag, be the champ, brag, win against odds, brag, and crush his opponent. So along comes fantasy football, a role playing game equivalent to Dungeons and Dragons, where jocks can live their wild sport fantasies in a virtual world made of whimsical teams that they role play as the manager. These were the same jocks who looked down on the nerds who played their silly fantasy-world video games. Oh the irony! Still the jock was always prone to wasting time instead of furthering himself intellectually, I guess one can’t be too surprised how he chooses to relive those “glory days.”
