Fantasy Sports are not only misunderstood(‘How does it work?’ or ‘Is it gambling?’), they are often derided (‘You’re ruining the purity of sports’ or ‘Get a life’). Even though there are over 25 million people who play in this country, there are still stigmas(mostly negative) attached to this great pastime, much like internet porn. As a result, even the most enthusiastic fantasist will think twice about admitting that they play.
Ever talk to a friend or family member about a great trade you made, or a big week you had? What happens? Feigned interest? Glassy eyes? Vague disapproval? It’s okay that they don’t get it. Hate the sin, not the sinner. As Lester Bangs said in Almost Famous, “You’ll meet them all again on their long journey to the middle.”
Where is the place for fantasy players to congregate and talk about a common experience? Fantasymixx.com is that place. We’re not here to give tips on waiver wire pickups or draft day strategy. This site is less about gaining competitive advantage and more about acknowledging the lifestyle. Let’s be honest. It’s not easy running 7 different fantasy teams and/or leagues at one time. And until you’ve experienced the low of a garbage time TD that beats your squad, you really can’t relate to the kind of anxiety that creates. We, as fantasy warriors, need somewhere to let our hair down, wipe off the eye black, crack open a beer, sit around a computer and discuss our craft. To steal from mafia-related phraseology, this is our thing. This is the business we have chosen.
Fantasymixx.com can serve many different purposes. This site can be your Dr. Melfi or your hard-drinking friend getting you to go out when you have a paper to write. It’s part wet nurse, part wingman. Fantasymixx.com is your mistress because there are some things you just won’t tell your wife. It’s a sauna where you can either sport a towel, or not.
