STL Fan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 When I owned a business I had a female applicant that on her application listed three previous jobs in the last 18 months, and the reason given for leaving all three was "sexual descrimination." Take a guess how fast that app ended up in the trash. I'm not saying sexual descrimination doesn't exist, it surely does, but I wasn't excited about be the next white guy to line up and get accused the first time I tell a woman she looks nice today or something.

It's the "or something" that will get you in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driveby Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I am sure they are bothered by it, but they are too chickenshiatt to respond. wow, deja vu. I was a newbie in a NL only baseball league several years ago with a few co-workers and their friends and one of the rules of the league was that there were no add/drops for the entire year. If you drafted a player he was yours no matter what happened. So the last round of the draft the brother of the commissioner (who I worked with) drafted a player who had just been traded from an NL team to an AL team (can't remember who). I pointed this out and the guy said whatever. About 3 weeks into the season this guy starts complaining that he didn't know the guy had been traded and wanted to pick up a player. So the commissioner let him pick up this rookie named Pujols. I complained about this and nobody else in the league thought it was a big deal and/or didn't want to rock the boat as it were, and as a matter of fact, the guy who picked up Pujols started ripping on me for being a crybaby. Took me about a week to say f this and I dropped all my players and said adios to the league. Cost me some friendships but I'm serious about fantasy sports and right is right. I guess this is my way of saying kick these two guys out and get some serious people in your league or you're going to always have problems.

STL Fan Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Did she have big cans? Actually, I never met her, she left an application one night when I wasn't there. I got in the the next day and read it and filed it. I never called her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait a minute. Now you're saying that Hat is sexual harrassing the black guys? Holy crap, this may be grounds to get Hat the death penalty!

MTSuper7 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I do not give warnings for collusion... You are not helping anybody but the folks who cheated...This type of cheating can ruin the entire season for all ten of the other owners. I do understand you are in a tough spot but sometimes you have to be firm. I think I'd rather have a fantasy football season ruined and be out $100 or so than have to spend each day, every day in an uncomfortable work environment. I think HT handled this perfectly. I'm sure it's already awkward enough around there... I know this is going to sound crazy considering where I'm posting this message, but some things actually do transcend fantasy football.
