Why do so many more women play fantasy football than baseball?

[Dan Rydell]

Is it just a reflection of more female interest in football overall?  It seems when I go to the Royals games that there are a comparable level of gals there as at the Chiefs or KSU football games.

I play in two fantasy football leagues that are pretty evenly mixed, guys and gals.  I don't know if I've ever met a girl who has a fantasy baseball team.

I've never met a girl that didn't think fantasy sports were about the nerdiest thing ever conceived.

A few years back I introduced my girlfriend to fantasy football.  She loved it.
Then she buzz cut her hair, turned lesbian, and is now dating Oprah.  FWIW.

Fantasy football can be played with merely a glance at a roster once a week, with most of the game action happening on a single day.  Baseball requires a player to look at the box scores each day and look ahead for pitching matchups.  I think the basic game of Fantasy Baseball is more complicated.

the ksufans fantasy baseball league is pathetic.

It is the AL West.  Only 4 teams.

I thought your master plan was to get a buch of nine year-olds involved.  I would have signed up, but I probably would have contributed absolutely nothing.  Is it too late?  Is someone that doesn't necessarily pay very much attention to it and sometimes just goofs off better than nothing?

Just prepare yourself for Kat Kid to annihilate everyone, probably clinching the league somewhere around mid July.

I care way too much.

My girlfriend just told me she signed up for a fantasy baseball league today. Now I get to explain it to her. She likes baseball, but I don't think this will last long.

Well, if your favorite softball bat disappears within the coming weeks at least I tried to warn you.
