What are you going to do with that money that will make you more happy than a Bengals win? Go out and eat a meal? Go see a movie? Buy a fancy new phone? Do those types of things really give you more lasting joy than the Bengals winning a football game?
Money shouldn't make you happy. It is what you do with the money.
Sort of ridiculous to assume that I'm "scrapping for money" to think this way. I'd say you should be questioning my fandom over the money I make. I'm not extremely wealthy and swimming in cash, but I do well for my family, I promise we're just fine.
It's not that I'm going to do something super duper awesome with my money, it's closer to that a Bengals win doesn't really do....anything for my life. Honestly, what does a Bengals win do for your life unless you bet on the game?
A Bengals win makes me happy for about 10 minutes, and gives me joy while watching the event. That's cool and everything, but I can do a lot of things with money from fantasy football, especially when it's a league where the winner is paid over a grand.
The fact that you think a random football team winning a game is more important than money is....odd. Hell, I know some people that would wish their fantasy team to win over their favorite pro team in a NON-money league. It's just the way some people are. I love discussing the Bengals and I spend way too much time on here, but let's be honest, a Bengals win does about 0 things for any of us (especially those of us that don't live anywhere near Cincinnati).
