Me too. Which one of us do you think breaks first?

Check with the NFL. 

Free agency, draft, schedule release, OTAs, training camp, preseason, regular season, post season...

Every day of the year is football season!

I usually break when I find out my draft slot.

So well, I liiked this league and always felt welcome by most if not all other participants, so no hard feelings. But in general these don't seem like the times where an European should feel welcome in the US, let alone in US fantasy leagues. I will therefore leave this league. Thanks for the years I was allowed to be a part of it, and all the best to you for the future. Goodbye.

So brave!

Just a bit of advice but politics dont have to rule every aspect of your life.

It certainly does not, but at the same time I can not ignore everything. And I did not intend to be "brave" or anything, so the snark is not really well received. I just tried to explain why I'm leaving. Maybe I should have done without.

Anyway, spot is free, let's just move on.

Sorry to see you go. I've enjoyed watching you and teeth banter about over the years. I guess i'm just confused because i've personally never let your nationality or political beliefs (of which i have no idea) affect my opinion of you in any way. That said, if it's your wish...

Viel Glück und gute Reise.

Hell, I thought he was Australian for a decade. Yep, sad to see Hollo go bye, bye; but he has his reasons.

He most likely wants to spend more time in his Fantasy Sking Leagues.

Danke. 

And well, I should just have said that I simply will not spend that much time on football any longer and already noticed a distinct decline in my personal interest. Which certainly is fueled by an increasing disconnect with the USA, a country I used to admire; I should have kept that reason to myself though. 

As mentioned, of course it is nothing personal against anyone of you individually; I came to like and will miss lots of people on this board. All the best to you too.

Understood and do what you feel is best for you. Thanks for the years of participation, and there will always be a spot for you should you decide to return. 

WTS, I must

Can't help myself to my own detriment at times, but no hard feelings.

Hell we joined the same year after moving over from the old secondary board league.

You gotta do you, just hate that politics invades everything.

So, we have an opening, ladies. Anyone have a member in mind to take hollo's spot?

If you are in Europe, do not leave over politics.  Won't they still have the NFL games in London and Germany ?  Leaders of countries come and go.  It is clear you have friends on here in USA.  If you like Fantasy Football, keep playing.  If you are just tired of Fantasy Football, OK.  However if you still like Fantasy Football, you can't worry so much over the leaders of different nations, because they sure don't lose sleep over you.  If you want to play Fantasy Football, you should, it's not hurting anybody.  You clearly have friends on here, so consider that. 

September 5th is Chiefs vs Chargers in Sad Paulo.  September 28th is Vikings vs Steelers in Dublin.  October 5th is Vikings vs Browns in London. October 12th is Broncos vs Jets in London. October 19th is Rams vs Jaguars in London. November 9th is Falcons vs Colts in Berlin. November 16th is Commanders vs Dolphins in Madrid.....So you see Hollodero, you are not being anti-Europe or anti-USA by playing Fantasy Football.  The NFL schedule is loaded with NFL games in Europe.  

So Holledero, it is only May 26th, so please reconsider.  The NFL plays in Europe and it is clear you have Friends on this site.   If tensions were as bad as you think, the NFL would not be playing so many games in Europe.  Rethink this and join us again in Fantasy Football 2025.  Start considering who you would love to draft to build a Play-Off Team.  I join the others in saying that I hope you Stay.  As British Rocker Paul McCartney once sang, " Hands across the water. Hands across the sky. Live a little, get around. Get your feet up off the ground, Live a Little, get around. Hands across the water. Hands across the sky ".  I join the others in hoping you Stay.

I've seen several maturities in my lifetime, and I can tell you with absolute certainty, that isn't what he's showing.  

You guys are talking shit way too early.
