For the sake of historic preservation, I will provide the board with a rundown of how things have gone through 10 weeks of Jack’s fantasy football league. Apologies to those that are part of the private discussion, as you are all aware of what is about to be written.
- Jack immediately handed all league-oriented responsibilities off to an associate of his, absolving himself from any administration and decision-making.
- The league’s rules and scoring settings are absurd, at least by my and several other Kiwis’ standards. Much like his Food Wars ratings, the scoring categories are heavily skewed.
- Prior to the draft taking place, it was already apparent to me that not everyone who signed up would be playing out the entire season, Jack included.
- Jack, naturally, filled his lineup with household name players, paying no mind to their declining levels of skill or overall impact in the fantasy football world.
- Four weeks into the season, Jack has yet to record a win. At this point, Jack mails it in, all but neglecting his roster’s immediate needs.
- Week 7: We defeat Jack’s team, 131–118.
- For the next several weeks, Jack’s team continues to float through the league, losing to teams abandoned by their managers. Jack’s team is solidly in last place with a 1–9 record.
And now we get to some juicy stuff:
- Jack’s co-commissioner uses his league credentials to aid Jack while also fixing his match with another team, ensuring himself victory. There was evidence of this happening in years prior, so we knew to be on the lookout for this sort of thing.
- Jack’s co-commissioner is called out on his lyin’, cheatin’ ways and immediately blocks and suspends Team Kiwi from interacting with and participating in league activities. In short, he silenced and banned us for calling him out on his improprieties.
- Jack sends an email to everyone involved in the league, informing everyone that this league is “for his fans” and it’s for fun, so to leave it alone.
- After discussing matters with the co-commissioner, who maintains his innocence despite all evidence pointing to the contrary, Team Kiwi is reinstated and allowed to see the season through.
TL;DR: Jack organized a league that he’s too lazy to operate, too lazy to participate in, and too lazy to control, and when his church-going pal of a co-commissioner was caught blatantly cheating, he chose to throw up his hands and silence and ban the whistleblower, not the person cheating.
Classic Jack.
