Fantasy guys

In an episode (The Naked Man, precisely) of the American sitcom How I Met your Mother, a character is laughed because he prefers updating his five Fantasy teams instead of dating with a girl he seduced. In this case, Fantasy appears as dull occupation for losers. WOuOh. Fantasy is more than you think. It is a virtual game in which you manage a team with real players you draft. Related to their real performance, you get some points and you can attend to various leagues. It is warped, because you can be really happy when your favorite team severely losts and shout loudly in a pub twice in a row when each of both team score. You can select only players from teams you support, but you quickly learn that what you want is not what it happens. Fantasy is art of Futurology. You forecast, you plan, you draw the future. When you meet this kind of person, you notice that he keeps this second life inside. Indeed, he has got a very few times to talk about, whereas he is able to speak over for hours (or days).
