Fantasy sports are against my religious faith in Nottingham Forest. We only do defeats.

Although "fantasy curling" does get a couple of hits on google, I have to report that in the real world, no, it does not. :(

During the Olympics, many men had fantasies about the women curling teams, with Russia being a favorite of the fantasy players.

I think the sex and sports parts of my brains are too segregated for this. I try to objectify the lady athletes and fantasize about them but I just cannot do it, I keep being interested in the competition and athleticism. I wait until I am alone and turn on a woman's volleyball game and find myself getting angry at the coach for poor rotation assignments. I just feel so ashamed.

Shouldn't a fantasy sport be something more like quidditch? (spelling?)

Fantasy sports is not a good description of the activity anyway. 'Betting on which players will have the best stats' just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Quidditch is a retarded sport anyway. 99% of the time the game comes down to which seeker gets the snitch first, all the other players are extraneous.
