A fantasy football league has flipped the script: the champion gets nothing, and everyone else pays a price.
Robert Baricev, known as.rob, detailed the setup in a viral video that drew over 437,000 views. He called it "the most pointless fantasy football league on the planet." The winner receives "absolutely nothing" with "no monetary value." Players are competing, he said, strictly "for the love of the game."
Every other finish comes with a unique consequence. Baricev, currently in fourth place, characterized the punishments as ranging from "mildly inconvenient" to "absolutely diabolical."
Second place: camp outside the winner's house for four days, Thursday through Sunday.
Third place: spend 12 hours inside the Flora-Bama, a beach bar on the Florida-Alabama border, wearing a ski suit. Baricev said he plans to complete it immediately after the season, not during July's heat.
Fourth place (Baricev's current spot): drum on buckets outside Pat O'Brien's in New Orleans' French Quarter until collecting 50 dollars from passersby.
Fifth place: audition for the lead role in a local play. Baricev cited Peter Pan as an example for players in Mobile and said he hopes to avoid this punishment, unsure what plays exist in New Orleans.
Sixth and seventh place: fly out to a WNBA game and fly back immediately. The seventh-place finisher must stay sober for the entire trip; the sixth-place finisher can drink.
Eighth place (last): apply for a job at a local Burger King, get hired, and work one shift. If the first location rejects the application, the player must try the next. If all city locations decline, the player must commute to another city.
Severe fantasy football punishments have become increasingly popular. In another league, a 32-year-old man who finished last had to retake the ACT.
