Touchdowns, Trash Talk, and Punishments: The Fantasy Football Experience

A big reason people like fantasy football is because it is fun to play with friends. Leagues are made with groups of your friends, it gives everyone something to talk about every week and games feel way more exciting when you have a player on your fantasy team in the games. Many fantasy football leagues also add punishments for the person who finishes last, which makes the game even more fun. These punishments can be anything from having to wear a funny costume in public to doing a challenge that the rest of the league decides, like a milk mile or a fast food challenge.
