Fantasy football season is well underway, with many players excited about the upcoming playoffs.
I know next to nothing about fantasy football and had to get a primer from Soundside Producer Alec Cowan, who is playing in KUOW’s league.
He says it’s essentially regular people trying their hand at being NFL managers: drafting players, and forming rosters for each game. There are elaborate points systems based on how NFL players do each week.
There’s a reason why people take part in fantasy leagues – to feel closer to friends, family or to spend time with coworkers.
For people who are incarcerated, fantasy football creates a connection to the outside world.
Guest:
Antoine Davis, an incarcerated journalist in Washington State, pastor, and Inside Director of Organizing for Look2Justice.
