Did they have fantasy draft parties in Europe before the pandemic? (I suppose you can't really do that with football, although I'm sure you could do a bunch of silly things during the transfer windows.)

Americans love their fantasy sports and we won't stop until we've brought that plague everywhere else.

I think I can safely speak for all and say "lol no you fuckin losers"

It was an extremely bad take and is an incredible overstatement of highly paid sports players there of their own agency for their talents to be sought after, in comparison to the loving slave trade and lmao that this needs spelling out

I can still dislike that system for the similarities and there's gently caress-all you can do about it.

On the off-chance you're not just trying to bait me, I've been invited to combine parties and heartily passed because I disagree with how they present players (akin to an auction) and how lonely and boring that party would have been. Additionally, they never have good beer.

Are you thinking of the NFL draft?

The combine is where players workout in the hopes of raising their stock for the draft.

The draft is when players get selected by teams.

Fantasy draft parties are unrelated to either of these things

It's like some trialist thing where fat old men judge a bunch of non professional players on how fast they can run 100m in body armor or run around some cones so they can pick them up as pros later or some poo poo.

Anyway shut up about it because it's fuckin stupid. In summation:

It’s from The Athletic and thus behind a paywall but this is a nutso story about how Fenerbahce believes BeIn Sports, who hold the TV rights to the Turkish league, is actively conspiring against them

A literal auction for the free agents on deadline day would be well good. All your favourite academy rejects and 35 year olds who were denied another one year extension doing soccer am style skill challenges in front of all the managers. Crufts style agility courses where some fat league one striker has to go round the cones and over the balance beam while being led around by his agent. Put that on sky sports news for 12 hours

A better system would be all players and managers and owners are thrown into a bin then the bin is set on fire.
