ok, so not the cheeriest of topics, but the reality is, none of us are immortal.
yesterday a friend in my 25+ year FBB redraft said he was retiring from fantasy sports, and this was his last year. When I asked why, he said he’s 75, and feels like it’s time. He then made a joke about not wanting to drop dead mid-season and leave us all hanging. Funny, and also courteous.
Got me to thinking about dynasty football. After all, that’s a redraft FBB league. Dynasty has so much invested in it, both financially, and emotionally. Sweat equity from transactions, the excitement of making the playoffs, winning a ‘ship, etc.
So what happens to your dynasty teams when it’s your time to shed this mortal coil?
Do you include them in your will & bequeath them to someone?
Do you have instructions for the league commish?
Not trying to be funny here, I swear - I’m genuinely curious how folks are considering this. Or if it’s ever crossed anyone’s mind here that it would be necessary?
At some point I hope to take the graceful path that my FBB friend did. Maybe find a nice foster home for my teams and retire from fantasy sports. But I know that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed - so now I’m starting to think I should have instructions laid out, much as I do my home and my business.

Anyone give this subject any thought ever?
