I resign as GM of the Detroit Pistons. Thanks to the league for welcoming me back a second time, but another person and I are about to have a legal battle and do not want the league getting weird over it. Best of luck to you all!

Come on dude, you actually want to sue someone over fantasy sports? Free fantasy sports, even. What kind of damages could you possibly try and claim?
Before you get laughed out of court, take a minute and reconsider what you're doing right now.
There is also no real reason to leave D5 over it. No one else is being weird.

How the fuck do you know about this? I probably will get laughed out of court, but I think there is a real legal question in regards to how a commissioner of a fantasy football league can do whatever they want. What if we played for money? Walt Frazier , you are a piece of shit! All I wanted to do was protest perceived injustice and oppression, but you are such a hypocrite that you took my team away from me. Can only people on the left protest? Aren't you infringing upon my 1st Amendment Right?!??!?! Furthermore, I told you I was going to do this and you said you would "take a draft pick from me." Draft pick my ass! I am done with the NFL, the NBA, and every other pro sport that protests THE GREATEST NATION EVER for stupid reasons that I get racist for questioning that narrative even slightly. I guess I will go to church or something for fun? I don't know man, but the NFL needs to learn its lesson that NO OTHER COUNTRY would pay them millions of dollars to pay A FUCKING KIDS GAME!!!!!! To quote Mike Gundy, "that is all I've got to say, makes me want to puke!" PS.

Just to put the debate to rest, Andrei Kirilenko >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Walt FrazierI don't even know where to begin. #1 - We don't play for money, so, that's completely irrelevant. #1a though - If we did, I'd be even MORE within my right to start your players for you, as you would not only be improving someone's chances of winning the league (by benching ALL of your players and, in two of the leagues, literally DROPPING most/all of your players possible), but also possibly letting someone win money through your actions, making it unfair to the rest of the league who didn't get to play you on the week you decide to protest. #2 - I wasn't going to replace you until you actually DROPPED all of your players in one league and most in the 2nd league. Benching is one thing (which I probably would have been forced to start them anyway, based on the reasoning above of not letting you give away a free win), but actually dropping players like Carson Wentz, Jacquizz Rodgers, Mike Williams (rookie WR), your entire lineup of IDP guys and Kicker, plus most of the rest of your offense. Not only did you create another 45 minutes of work for me to go to 3 leagues, add your players back, drop some bums you added to try to cover your moves (Players who aren't even on NFL teams), and then set all of your lineups, but you purposely tried to give away a free win to 3 managers in 3 different leagues. It's 100% unfair to the rest of the league, and as a commish, I simply can't allow it.

I only dropped players after the racists called me racist. I MIGHT have stayed in Big Keeper because that fat fuck is not in there, but you obviously made your ruling by then.
I DO NOT want anything to do with the NFL in any way, shape, or form. All I wanted was to protest peacefully and advance my political agenda. Why does the league matter if it is not for money? Maybe the owners should make the players stand so they can go back to making money again. Fuck Collin Kaepernick, what about my 1st Amendment right to protest? Did you ever consider that!??!?!?!

You protested. You benched your guys. You DROPPED most of your guys. For the league's health and well-being, I added your players back to your team and started a full lineup for the team you were managing.
If you cared that little about the league, and/or don't understand how that matters to the health of the league, then I can't say I'm sad to see you go. I'm upset about how this whole thing went down, and you seem pretty different today, very fiery, belligerent, and hostile. And I've known you for quite a while, and I know you are passionate most times, but this has gone over the edge. And, if you didn't care about the league and the league's health anyway, then why would you want to stay.
I had 3 managers hop at the opportunity within an hour or two to replace your teams in the 3 leagues, so I'm happy people want to be in these leagues and care about them much more than you seem to.
I hope you snap out of it.

Isn't there a song about "first cut is the deepest, baby I know!"? I don't know man, but I am done with the NFL. I am going to turn my TV off, find a new hobby, or something along those lines. MAYBE you aren't as bad as I thought and MAYBE I could stay in this league (especially since Silver said they NBA Players need to stand,) but the only reason I would ever go back to the fantasy football leagues is to get Calvin's IP address so I could beat his ass.

If someone benched all their good players here at D5 I would just reverse that decision, in fact I have done many times. And if they cut all their players I'd assume they had left the league.

I WAS done when I cut my players. As far as benching players, doesn't that violate my 1st Amendment Right to free speech?

The constitution is about what the government can or can't do. As in, they can't violate your right to free speech by arresting you or otherwise trying to silence you. As for the broader idea of free speech, well, freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences. You have the freedom to do or say what you want, and we have the freedom to call you an idiot, and Josh has the freedom to kick you out of the league he's running. You don't have a constitutional right to fantasy sports, so nobody is violating your rights. Then you have the freedom to call us all assholes, and we have the freedom to ignore you. Isn't freedom great?
