Of course Tom Brady gets extra dice
because of stats bonuses. |
Fall is finally upon us, and that means all of the major American sports that aren't baseball (or currently striking, I'm looking at you basketball) are finally starting once more. As a nerd with an inclination toward the sporting world, this also means it's time to get my fantasy sports teams in order. This, of course, led me to an interesting realization. Fantasy Football, and indeed, fantasy sports in general are possibly the greatest trick ever pulled on society.
Suppose I told you that I spent the week looking at the stats of my team (party) in order to choose the best combination to defeat my opponent. There's skill involved on the player's part to be sure, but a large amount of luck also goes into being successful (a roll of the dice you might say). I'm either talking about Dungeons & Dragons or Fantasy Sports.
