For many of us Philadelphia Eagles fans, the football season is the time to delve into the fantasy world of football. The time to treat football players as an object, and not as an actual human being.
Oh, wait. We already do that.
For those of us who engage in fantasy football, our bias and team fandom can’t help but get in the way. We desperately want to draft our favorite players from our favorite team.
This can sometimes be a positive mindset if the player is actually a decent player. But it can be a negative if the player doesn’t play particularly well.
