Ending a league
Posted: July 8th, 2010, 6:24 am
A topic was broached in the player forum about how to leave a league - this one may be a bit more morbid to some - but I'll leave that to the eye of the beholder. Have you ever thought about your league ending? Your primary league - the one you put above all others - especially you keeper/dynasty participants (and before I go any further ... Wolfie ..or any of the WRBL guys who may be reading this ... NO, I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ME LEAVING!!!). I'm talking in general.
We've been lucky - our leagues have been around since 1986/87. A total of 24 franchises in two 10 team leagues with a two team expansion back in 1992. During that time, we've lost a grand total of two original owners and two replacement owners. Some partners have come and gone, but the original franchise holder remained. But Father Time is creeping up on us as is the economy. I wonder how many more years we have - like guys drafting Michael Ynoa and me wondering to myself; "Did someone just waste a pick because we're NEVER going to be around to see HIM!". For you keeper league guys , especially with minor leaguers, do you ever wonder if your league will still be around long enough to get some benefit from these guys?
And if your primary league were to fold, what might you do? Would your heart still be into Roto/Fantasy as much as it was? Would you shift focus to another of your leagues? Could you? Our guys are getting older, and in some cases, less than robust in health - and I was just wondering if others has similar thoughts.
