The Story Behind Family Fantasy Sports

A FOOTBALL SUNDAY
Sal was in Chicago for the weekend when he stopped by the home of his childhood friend, Jesse. It was a crisp football Sunday and the Bears were in a divisional match-up. Jesse and his two young boys were watching the game and sporting jerseys of their favorite NFL players. The boys were bouncing around the family room, watching the games on TV and paying close attention to the stats ticker on the bottom of the screen. The laptop was open on the coffee table so the boys could check whatever stats interested them.

Throughout the first half there was constant chatter about how many points their fantasy teams had, and how far ahead they were of their cousins in Arizona. At halftime, they all headed outside for touch-football and to reenact the highlights from the games.

When Jesse’s wife came outside with their 14-month-old daughter – both of them in their pink Bears jerseys – Sal’s mind began to spin.

“This is fantastic!” Sal, a fantasy player and dad, thought to himself. He could sense the excitement and the fun that the family had as it used fantasy football to interact and spend quality time together.

A TON OF QUESTIONS & DISCOVERIES
One thing that Sal discovered was that Jesse’s family was spending a huge part of their Sunday afternoons in the fall watching games together.  They talked a lot about their fantasy teams and players during the week, and checked their teams regularly on Sunday and Monday nights before they went to bed, and on Tuesday mornings before they headed off to school.

Fantasy football had become a significant part of their lives during the football season (and even during the off-season).  Jesse’s wife loved the extra time it gave her on Sundays and
the special bonds her husband was building with the kids. Sal began to ask questions.

How do they draft their teams? (Online)

Who do they play against? (Their cousins in Arizona, some members of the boys’ soccer teams, some neighbors, and some of Jesse’s co-workers and their kids)

How hard is it for the kids to get involved? (Kids from age 5 can pretty easily play with mom or dad guiding them a bit)

Was there a fantasy league for families to play together? (NO!)

Did the kids enjoy it? (YES! They loved it!)

Did moms and dads like it? (YES!)

A FANTASY SITE FOR FAMILIES?
In the airport on the way home from Chicago, Sal gave his buddy Taz a call to share his story. One thing led to another, and Sal and Taz decided that not only did they want to play with their kids, but they also wanted to play in a league that was dedicated to family play.

After searching for weeks and not finding what they wanted (too many beer ads, too much gambling talk, and various types of ‘adult content’) Sal and Taz decided they needed to create their own league.

Thus, Family Fantasy Sports was born.
