Fans of professional sports are about as different from fantasy-sports fans as the concepts
themselves. We talked with a few fervent fans of the imaginary sports world (first names only) to
come up with a profile.
|
  |
Eddie: Like it gives you a sense of authority to use the flesh-and--blood players in fake teams
because you can build better fake teams than the real ones because it doesn't matter when it's fake.
|
  |
Sidney: Pro sports are not as exciting as make believe sports because you can make real money
from make believe sports. Sure, you can bet on pro sports but when you manage a better fake team
than there are real teams, why bother?

Madison: I go one step further and imagine my fantasy players - I'm into fantasy football - are
all single men. Then I can imagine crazy times in the locker room. Get me? I mean fantasy covers
a lot of stuff.
|
  |
Reggie: I was married when I got into fantasy sports and I made my wife a manager of one of my
hockey teams. It gave me the pleasure of firing her when the team tanked.
|
  |
Donnie: I like fantasy better than reality in all sports and, in fact, in most of life.
|
  |
Fred: Last season I made six figures in fantasy sports and I didn't have to pay one penny to the
fake version of the egotistic overpaid real players. F--- them.
