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 am going to screen shot that and put it on his twitter, maybe I will get an autographed jersey out of the deal or something hahaha.
I hope your joking..if not you are a huge douchebag

I can understand the allure of playing fantasy football but I never could root for anyone other than a Chiefs player, under any circumstance. (Especially someone on a different AFCW team.) But that's just me and I don't feel one way or another about anyone else doing it. Hell, if you're having fun then go for it.

No. He'd be a huge douchebag for quitting doing something he enjoys because Jeremy Maclin disapproves. He'd be a huge douchebag for dicking over his friends or co-workers by bailing on there draft and finally, if he were actually serious, he would be an extreme douchebag for thinking he could get some memorabilia out of the deal.


Your inability to get that kind of makes you a huge douchebag.






Edit: I'm just ****ing with you on the last part.

I have seen people at Arrowhead stadium in full Chiefs gear cheering for players on the other team and I know it's because of fantasy. I hope those people fall down the stairs.

I do play fantasy football and baseball but I never have Chiefs or Royals on my team and I would never cheer for my fantasy team vs the Chiefs/Royals.

Also, **** Matthew Berry.

It isn't hard to be a fan of your team and play fantasy football as well.

I will draft some Chiefs if they fit the need. I will draft divisional opponents if they fit the need.

Fantasy football apparently finger-banged some of your kids, bufkin style.

People look at these idiots and it gets them stirred up.

People also need to realize that Fantasy football is the MAIN reason NFL fans have become more knowledgable about the league as a whole and not just blind homers who only know about their own team. It impacts everything from fans watching preseason games to more and more people watching the draft.

And it's pretty ****ing stupid for a guy who makes money playing a game to scold me for trying to make money playing a game...

I'm liking this guy more and more. This is one of the reasons I stopped playing fantasy football. It killed my gameday enjoyment. I was so damn focused on my fantasy team I lost sight of MY favorite NFL team.

It's just like sports betting.

I don't root for my team to lose, but when the inevitably do, I've got a nice consolation prize to soothe the pain...
