Maclin Firing shots at Fantasy Football owners.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...r-fantasy-team

Jeremy Maclin is on a warpath, and he's coming for the heads of selfish roto-nerds everywhere.

The morning after he caught another preseason touchdown for the Chiefs, Maclin took to Twitter to take issue with a large sect of football fans: fantasy owners.

Play NFL Fantasy Football!

"It amazes me how 'Fantasy Football' is the only football that some of you know," Maclin said. "It's sad. News flash for yall (sic): I don't give a damn about ur (sic) "Fantasy" football team. #ChiefsKingdom"

It's not clear what set the Chiefs wide receiver off, but it has ignited fevered responses from fantasy experts and fans from around the world wide web.

After ESPN's Matthew Berry tweeted at Maclin that he shouldn't "insult fans who drive ratings and revenue", Maclin responded, "Football is about what a team achieves. You taking it way too far talking about my salary."

He also retorted with a haymaker of reason, "I'm not insulting anybody who roots for players. I'm frown (sic) upon those who will sacrifice a team victory for a fantasy victory."

As with all Twitter beefs, both parties have a point. Maclin doesn't like how Chiefs fans will be more upset with losing a fantasy matchup because of Maclin's performance than with the Chiefs losing; that's a brand loyalty issue that Kansas City's new acquisition would clearly have trouble with.

On the other hand, Berry, like most fantasy experts around the internet, isn't wrong when he implies that fantasy owners are often some of the most invested in the league and make up a massive percentage of eyeballs on any given Sunday. Not that insulting fantasy owners would deter them to not select Maclin in their draft, especially when he's the only Chiefs wide receiver that actually scores touchdowns.

Thankfully, football fans don't have to choose between rooting exclusively for their favorite team or for individual fantasy players. They can do both, as long as they don't take either too seriously so as to wish ill will against players.

If you want to stick it to Maclin, sign up for fantasy here. If you agree with the Chiefs wideout... well, sign up anyway.

I used to sit players when they played against the Chiefs. But over the years they have gotten us so used to them losing and just generally providing nothing but false hope I figure I might as well at least have some positive come from their games so playing my guys against them in fantasy does that. If my guy does good or bad and the Chiefs win that is still my preferred outcome.

Agreed. It's a lame way to include fans that can't get inspired from the game itself. To each his own, really.. but it's silly nonsense to me.

It's a way for me to still enjoy football after KC has decided to no longer be competitive or enjoyable to watch...

This gained Maclin lots of bonus points in my book.

Good for Maclin. There are/were honestly people out there who think Stafford is a good QB because he put up big fantasy numbers for a couple of seasons.

Can't really disagree much with anything he said honestly

I play from time to time but take it for what's it's worth. Some people take it waaay too seriously. It's about 99% luck. There are so many variables and dependencies that effect a players performance from week to week.

I play fantasy, but the Chiefs success trumps fantasy every time.
In fact, I purposely don't draft AFC West players and consider benching any player going against KC just to eliminate any conflict of interest.
