18. There’s two teammates, one current and one former, that I want to talk about for this one. The first being my former teammate Jason Garciaparra. I kind of know this guy from somewhere, not exactly sure where, and while he’s a massive dork he’s also an awesome teammate. An absolute monster on the edge who off the field is super laid back and always willing to just shoot the shit about anything and everything. While the defensive line is never the sexiest position, he never complained about not really doing a ton. Would spend a lot of time getting hyped for those who did make plays and that went a long way. The other teammate I need to hype up is my current teammate Jaycee Higgins. Jaycee is the ultimate hype man. It doesn’t matter whether or not we’re even in a game. In game and out of game, Jaycee is always cheering everyone on and making sure everyone is feeling the love. An absolute legend in the locker room, being a captain for Kansas City has just enabled him to thrive even more and showcase his talents. Without Jaycee, Kansas City loses a huge part of its identity, I’m a much more laid back captain and just tries to keep things chill, but you do need that sparkplug, and that’s Jaycee.
30. The Players Association is a pretty solid idea and I’m glad that it exists. I will be honest, trying to propose rules is a bit intimidating. The ballots are full of plenty of changes each year and it’s hard to make your voice heard in the grand scheme. In the long term, that hurts player participation. If you feel like that you’re unable to really contribute to something you’re going to lose interest. I know personally I have a few ideas I’ve wanted to try and submit but have been told by many people across the board that it’s a bit tricky to actually get your rules on the ballot, and you just get picked alive once you are. Enter the players association. An easier way to try and get your opinions out there and in a position that they can actually make changes. A source for information and guidance on keeping the players best interests at heart. There’s never really a bad reason to have an association. When you look at it, the interests of many are decided by the few. The collective future of the league is decided by the Head Office and the General Managers, but without us players they have no league to run.
31. I think that the WFC has been pretty interesting out of the gate and I’ll glad we have it. Look at the other sim leagues that we share users with. Pro Baseball Experience and Sim Hockey League both have some variation of a world heritage tournament to help boost pride in your host land, and those have shown to be great successes for all involved. The thought of bringing home the gold medal for Russia or Finland, in some ways it’s better than winning the championship title. You’re the best country in the world vs just the best team in your league. To finally have something like that here in the ISFL is pretty freaking awesome. Like playing in the league is cool, you want to see who’s the best in the DSFL and ISFL, that’s still going to continue to be awesome. But now we have something else, showing which area of the world is the best at football and duking it out in a series of competitions to prove that. I think it’s going pretty well so far and will be a future success in every running of it. People love to represent on the national stage, and keep offering them that opportunity and the WFC will thrive.
