Offseason Point Task - 25th Anniversary Special

[Sutj]

When I first found out about this league through reddit, I was immediately interested. I was part of what I believe was the biggest recruiting class for the ISFL (formerly NSFL). It was a very interesting concept, but when I joined back in February, I had no idea that I'd still be a loyal and committed member even today in November. As a Kiwi, I obviously don't have much involvement at all in football aside from being watching the games online. There is practically no football whatsoever in New Zealand, as rugby is our main sport, leaving little to no room for the possibility of football. However, this league gave me the opportunity to be a part of a league, whether or not I was actually physically on the field. Not only that, but it allowed me to join an incredible, warm, and welcoming community full of football enthusiasts like me. First being drafted to the Tijuana Luchadores, I was welcomed to what I still believe is one of the best locker rooms in either the DSFL or ISFL. Being able to spend all four of my eligible seasons with them was honestly great, and the feeling of being able to be a key contributor to an Ultimini was an amazing feeling. After being drafted to the Arizona Outlaws, I later signed with the Austin Copperheads, never taking the field with an Outlaws uniform. Joining with Austin was another one of my more memorable experiences. After exploring many options in free agency following my departure from Arizona, it was a great and fun experience navigating free agency and figuring out what I was looking for and what team would be the best fit for me. It really felt great negotiating with teams, and discussing with people what team I would be best for and which teams I should be joining for whatever reason. In 25 seasons, I think the league will still have the same systems and the same friendly, loyal community, but definitely with even more players and probably even more teams as well. Recently, we have added four more teams in the past few seasons, and there is no reason for that to expand even more as we gain even more members in the league. Currently, we have 14 teams in the league, and with even more members as each season goes by, I could easily see this league expanding to possibly even 20 teams which would be amazing to see and be a part of. All in all, this sim league has been a great experience for me, and I don't have any plans on leaving.
