Looking for a way to stay an admin yet not run a team.
Yup, lighten up, blah blah blah.
Anyway, I had enough of the engine and the community.
Hoping there's a way I can just run a good league and not have to worry about anything other than doing so.

You win. Congrats. You bullied your way to victory once again.

Currently working on a way out for me that permits me to continue serving my league as an admin until things improve in both the engine and the environment.

Enjoy your win!

This has dragged on long enough that I'm not even sure you all know exactly what you're trying to argue about anymore. It's sure hard to tell from reading it over in review.

It's fine if you all want to get each other riled up, but surely there's a place you can do that that isn't derailing a perfectly reasonable suggestion box submission that you all seem to somehow generally agree with and support.

Edit: Let me emphasize that I'm not taking any sides here, because I literally have no idea what you're all going on about.


I'm honestly not sure either. My intent was just to point out your league admin was trying to use humor to describe a positive aspect of your community.

I don't want to detract from that and I agree with the sentiment expressed by your community about including female + non-binary players in the game. Let's make it happen.

^^ How to spot ingrained gender biases in one easy step. ^^


You've gone off half-cocked there. I run the Electrosports league, and the majority of the posters above are members. We have quite a few female-named players in the league, partly due to the baseball league I run that has around 50% female players.

To that end, of course we want gender selection.

Wow for the love of god this is hilarious. lol
"It's 2022 get with the woke program whaa-whaa, they called Taylor Swift a he how dare they, whaaa-whaaa, everybody's being mean to me whaaa-whaaa". Give me a break.

Until I see a female playing OL or DL in the NFL I don't want female names on "my" team.
Sorry woke-sters.

If you want girls playing on "your" team just rename your players if renaming is allowed in that league. It's not that hard. So what if Taylor was called a he. "It" still got x amount of yards on the play.

I'm not gonna use the current year argument, because I think that's **** when advocating for these kinds of issues.

What I will say is that I think that's what people here are asking for, to be able to add gender customization in addition to the renaming players option. If you don't want female players on your team, don't trade for them or don't rename your players to have them or don't join a league that includes female players because the vast majority of leagues will still be 100% male-player filled.

I'll also say that I don't base my opinions regarding MFN on the NFL because it's incredibly dissimilar to NFL football. Sure, football games happen, but between the playcalling, familiarity, having slow WRs and weak OL (to name a few examples) there are marked differences.

Just my two cents.

EDIT: I'm sure JDB could customize this to let the league admin turn the option on or off too if it bothers enough people (though I'm not one of them, and I don't know how many really are).

Man, your life must be one of constant anguish if you're this bothered by something that would be completely optional and have zero impact on you and your life.
