You guys are the ones "calling names" first. So I retaliate. I've just been trying to give a simple argument for vetoing trades and you guys get all offended.
There is no unwritten veto rule, it's there for more than "collusion" purposes. There's a reason why it takes the majority to over rule a trade, if enough people veto it then obviously something isn't right.

Most people said you were dumb for wanting to veto it. You couldn't even comprehend how anyone could possibly give sproles for bryant and it be "fair"
Sproles is a fantasy dream for me currently.
Bryant will not get as many looks when Austin comes back.
Now that you have been proven wrong, I hope you won't be that commish from hell anymore and just watch out for your own team

Because I posted my frustrations on this message board doesn't mean I was texting the whole league telling them to veto.
For the record, I didn't even veto the damn trade!
I am worried about my team, but it pains me to see a good team get better because of a fricked up trade. It made no sense for the other guy to do it. I'm mad at him more than anything. He let his son swindle him. But again, it's not like I made this a big deal to the league. Come on, people.

Vetoes are not meant to stop a team from getting better, or being "unfair". They are there to stop obvious collusion. We just had a trade vetoed in my league because it made a team "unbeatable". It's not their fault you drafted shitty and couldn't work a trade. Could you imagine if all sports had a trade veto? I could see it now.....No, the Yankees can't make that trade because it's unfair to the Royals. WTF is wrong with some of you people.

I wasn't talking to you, you were the last post. I wasn't replying to anyone.

Ah, Father-Son trade. Yep, I would veto the shite out of it. Obvious collusion.

In real life it takes groups of people, paid professionals, to work a trade. Usually ripoffs don't occur too often and if they do, there is a lot of talent and other teams floating around to where any one trade shouldn't effect the league that much.
However, in fantasy football, where there are 10 teams and each one is manned by a single person...who may or may not be heavily invested in his team and football in general, that leads to the fricking over of the 8 other teams not involved in a possible swindling - where one trade can tilt the odds in one team's favor.
Hence, the veto option.

OK.
You tell me how Seattle could stop Dallas sending miles austin to new orleans for john kasay if they wanted to and you get back to me.
If you want to start using real life and all...

Except it was fair.
If you're not comfortable with a father and son in the same league because you don't trust them, then don't play in that league

In baseball, teams trade proven players for prospects in order to dump a contract. Don't tell me teams don't get screwed.

I was being sarcastic. When I read the initial thread it made sense to me.

Can one of you agree with me that him trading his best WR for Sproles, to bench him, is fricking retarded?

If he has no other plan to acquire a WR, sure then It's stupid. It's not the leagues job to police stupidity. but he could potentially be setting himself up to make another trade for other receivers. Unless you know his motivation for the trade.

That is kind of my point. This trade may look like shite to some, but RB's still seem to be kings in trade. He may take two backs and trade them for a better RB and another wr. Who knows. Bottom line is that if you think the guy's team got worse, then that's one less team you have to beat.
