There was a lot of wine, a lot of yelling, a lot of “wait I don’t get this!” But 6 hours later, we FINALLY all had teams. Mind you 75% of the girls weren’t even sports fans Lisa had just managed to talk them into doing this. Thankfully that number has shrunk, but oh my, that first draft was a shit show…
Our first year there were 14 girls in the league. I’m in at least two - sometimes three - other leagues, but this is my OG league, and it’s where the most smack-talking goes on. I count down the days to our draft every summer. This entirely female league has become about more than just football: It’s a highlight of my year. I said something along the lines of “Lisa, let’s effing do this!” And we were off to the races. She loves sports, and being the Queen Bee of the group, she got the idea to create a fantasy football league. My friend Lisa has a bunch of girls over every week to watch the greatest show in history hosted by Chris Harrison.
That all changed quickly, and as has proven true with most things in my life, I owe it all to The Bachelor. Tired of trying to join a league, I decided to start my own, but there are only so many girls who love sports, especially the NFL, enough to commit to 17 weeks of setting lineups, making trades, and hitting the waiver wire. Boys say they just want to play with their friends, but we all know the real reason they don’t want a girl in the league: losing to a chick would cause their already lacking parts to shrivel up even more. Editor’s note: If you couldn’t tell from the title, reader’s discretion is strongly advised.Īs a girl, I struggled to find a fantasy football league that didn’t discriminate against estrogen back in the day.
