It was 40 years ago this week that NFL players returned to work following a 57-day strike, the first time pro football had ever lost games due to a work stoppage. There weren’t quite the hard feelings all the way around as there would be five years later, when players crossed picket lines in droves and sometimes encountered teammates throwing eggs and hurling vulgarities at them as they did.
Sports fans have endured plenty of labor-induced indignities, of course, the latest a baseball season that was delayed by a lockout in the spring. The NHL had its entire 2004-05 season completely vaporized. The NBA has had two seasons shortened: to 50 games in 1998-99, and to 66 games in 2011-12. None of that was pleasing to anyone; all of them have survived, some with worse reentry pain than others.
But fantasy football? Just about every league has a member or three who are proud “casual” fans of the sport, whose lone interest is fantasy . The notion of a strike or lockout causing a fantasy strike or lockout … that’s almost too cataclysmic to even ponder.
