I’m thinking we should explore adding a sportsmanship clause to the constitution to make sure we are all having a good time and being respectful of it. Violations to be determined either of picks, players, league removal, etc... Just a thought I had and was curious what the league thought so the Q&A seemed like a good spot. I put a poll too in case I am off base and if so the comments will be short and I’ll then be quiet. Thanks

Promise I’m not trying to start anything, that’s not the point. Trying to see if I’m off base and if I’m not seeing if there is anything objective we can do to something subjective to make this better. I want it to be fun for a long time and anything threatening that should be looked into. Thanks

Yes, they are annoying as hell. But not punishable by loss of a pick or anything. If you ask the player to stop and he continues please let myself or Russ know. Some crazy trade offer get accepted though, hell I scratch my head at some that go through, but I don’t think they are with bad intentions.

No problem with accepted trades, and I understand there are no current punishments for this so that’s what I was exploring. To me this is about the excessive or unfair offers which are either meant to be annoying/insulting, or possibly trying to take advantage, and if that is unsportsmanlike. We’re just trying to have fun, and thanks for letting me know to reach out, I appreciate it. Thanks

Personally, when I send a trade offer it is meant to initiate a dialogue. 90% of my trade offers will include a message/comment with my intentions or a question asking if someone is available, etc.
In my mind, everyone values players differently and the only way to find others' valuations is by asking.
Obviously my valuations and/or way of doing things is wrong. Probably both.
Good thing I won't be trading once the season starts bros!!
Also, any constitution update should include a mandatory minimum of one trade offer sent to me per day. Thank u.

Also, any constitution update should include a mandatory minimum of one trade offer sent to me per day. Thank u. I am on board with it, so long as an addendum to this is that you must also accept a minimum of one trade offer per day (since you would have at least 11 trade offers daily! As for the sportsmanship item itself, I'm on board with it IF there is a fair and equitable way of doing so, not just two owners/commissioners making decisions that may very well be in their best interests. Putting such an item to a vote of at least 50% (perhaps even 2/3rds) of the remaining owners would be pertinent. I am all for the idea of losing a draft pick, or possibly available minor league slots. However, there should also be a hearing for the accused parties to argue their side first, as it has been brought up that valuations are different for different owners.

I have a great idea.
Every trade offer must be publicly posted and voted on.
7 minimum votes.
A vote of "bad offer" and the offerer is suspended from initiating an offer for 1 week!
Man, I'm smart! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Bingo! 👌🏼👌🏼

He has been spoken to again. If he continues to harass anyone with his stupidity please inform Russ or myself and he will be kicked and replaced with no refund. I also have grown tired of his antics. They can be cute from a three year old in doses, but from a 30 year old(no clue how old he is)..not so much. It’s downright annoying. I love his activeness and involvement but he also doesn’t do shit to help his own team, he trades for the sake of trading. He offers trades that make little to no sense over and over. Here is a thought, before offering a trade actually look at the other owners roster and see what they actually need. Stop offering to take a position they have no viable replacement and offer a player in return at a position they are already 3 deep in..anyway, as I said. No more chances. It is now the easy time to find a replacement owner as all are in fantasy baseball mode, it would be even easier to replace him since the owner would have a free team (albeit one with zero direction) and still get a chance for the money prize.
