I enjoy sports and will root for the local team but I stop short at body paint, hooliganism, and superstitions like only eating foods of certain colors.
It’s the seriousness that some take their affiliation that I don’t understand.

Fantasy Football league. Though it could be much improved by bringing aspects of D&D or tabletop to it as well beyond stat tracking

Try being the dork who remembers BOTH the kicker’s name (Ray Guy…best Punter ever) and Lando’s right hand man (Lobot was a bad ass IMHO).
It is interminably sickening, but I hold the geek culture with more contempt. They tend to be people that got marginalized/picked on growing up and you’d think they would act with more inclusiveness and civility to other geeks.

Right, good point. Middle school is where the jocks and nerds (all-inclusive) are forced to sit in a room together.
I know nothing about fantasy football league, but with a name like that it should already have aspects of D&D/TTRPG’s. Time to start an alternative High Fantasy Football League.

Haha exactly this i had in mind but it’d be great if it pulled stats from real teams and players.

The FF and D&D comparison is spot on. Take 10 pictures of live fantasy drafts and compare them to 10 pictures of D&D games, and you’d be hard pressed to find many differences other than the specific costumes being worn. A lot of ill-fitting trousers, a lot of bad facial hair choices, and a lot of emotional investment. God bless 'em all.
Does the seriousness of, say, Star Wars fandom make any more or less sense to you?

Now I need to learn the bare minimum about football needed to insert this into a D&D session.

I think it’d be fun to adapt Blood Bowl into a typical D&D session. Force your players into a game for their lives, if they win they not only go free but become champions and get some nice loot for the victory

‘Fandom’ is a helluva drug.

Exactly my thoughts. Just using regular player-by-player initiative might work well enough without adapting a new rule system, too.

Yeah, not really. I suppose I generally do not take anything that serious in my life so it’s difficult to understand the passion some people have towards these things.
