Fantasy Sports and Whinny Football players

Fantasy sports have killed some of the team loyalty that has been a hallmark of professional sports. But at the same time, I never watched NFL before, because I didn't have a team that I really liked (and I won't until the Texans get rid of Carr) and didn't really have time. But now I can catch the games on Sunday and it gives me something to watch for. Cowboys?!? Yuck! Cowboys can suck it! Wait, I can get Tony Romo off free agency? Go Cowboys Go!

What does Plummer want from the fans? At least those people went to the game, and were loyal enough to have you starting for their team. They pay 80 dollars for crappy seats in the snow to watch you play the game that you get paid millions of dollars to play, and you're bitching because they don't live and die with every game? Players are always the first ones to shake off a loss after the game - if you don't care that much, why should I?

Anything that gets more eyeballs on more games is good for the NFL and, ultimately, players.
