As the football world hopes for more good news about Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s recovery, some fans are wondering how to address a small elephant in the room: What to do about unfinished fantasy football leagues?

Monday was the final day for many leagues, and with the NFL deciding to not to replay Monday’s Bengals-Bills game, an issue arises in how to declare a winner. Some leagues have decided to forgo determining champions and instead donate their pots to Hamlin’s charity via GoFundMe. “[A] lot of fantasy football leagues are donating their prize pots to the fundraiser. You can find at least a handful using the league name as the donor name,” a GoFundMe spokesperson told CNN on Wednesday.

“We’re hopeful about Damar’s future involvement in disbursing the incredibly generous contributions.” Pot-splitting calculator For other leagues still trying to declare a winner, author and programmer Nathan Braun came up with a pot-splitting calculator online. “The unfortunate events surrounding BUF-CIN Monday night have left many Fantasy Football leagues in a bind,” wrote Braun, himself a fantasy league commissioner, on the site.

step one, get a fucking life

this is hilarious

I'm keeping the league's money and donating it to a worthy cause. morethanfootball morethanmoney

I can't tell if this is satire, or just a complete inability to read the room.

I think the COVID vax injuries is the elephant in the room, fantasy football is obviously a huge issue with the game cancelled

Happy for Damar but he doesn’t need financial support, the money should go to much needier causes.

Yeah, we don't care

I don’t know what fantasy football league is. If it is fantasy, that is fantastic! And what about the bets placed on the Bills-Bengal games?

Who cares bout your fantasy leagues you dorks.

The small elephant is what caused it... And it wasn't that hit

As a media, we ask you to be the voice of voiceless people of Iran, let the world hear what Iranians ask for, it is time to stop talking and take real actions to stop the executions of innocent young people. Today IR murdered two more people!

This absolutely does not meet criteria for the elephant in the room.

More like a speck of dust in the room…

It is what it is. I won. Now give me the trophy. South Side Cats FC champions of the world!

Some people pay thousands to enter these leagues. It is a concern

One day before the anniversary of PS752 downing by the regime, IR executed 2 freedom fighters MohammadMehdiKarami & MohammadHosseini. Iran's occupied by a terrorist org in direct war against people Iranians have the right to defend themselves in any way necessary MahsaAmini U

Yes. Such a horror. sarcasm

LOL. Yeah, that’s the elephant in the room. 😉

We don't care how our fantasy seasons end, a man nearly died ffs.

No 1 GAF. Hope the NFL bankrupts all your points. lol. As Kyle Shanahan of 49ers said 'Fantasy football I don't play that. I have a real team to run.' BOOM!

I can think of a much bigger elephant in the room…

【Part 6 of 6】 Protest Day 48: NFSC will keeps fighting for all the people who suffer from the totalitarian states, fight for a very good future.

Seriously? This is your story? 🙄

PardonMyTake

In these 4 months, Iranians have asked for nothing but peace and equality by chanting the slogan of women,life, freedom; and now it is your turn to take a step for world peace by expelling Iranian ambassadors. support us! IranRevoIution MahsaAmini

the blood of our youth is all over my country! This morning,b2 of us were executed,even though the Iranians wanted nothing but peace and equality with the slogan of a WomanLifeFreedom. Now it's your turn to take a step for world peace by expelling Iranian ambassadors MahsaAmini

We Iranian revolutionaries request the world to expel the terrorist ambassadors of the Islamic Republic. By doing this, you will save the children of Iran, Ukraine, Iraq and Syria. Be the voice of humanity. IranRevoIution MahsaAmini

MohammadBroghani, 18y/o, is sentenced to death by the Islamic Regime. His only 'crime' is demanding basic human rights. Your silence will lead to the same tragedy that took Mohsen Shekari and MajidrezaRahnavard2019s lives. StopExecutionInIran

The terrorist IR regime killed MohammadMehdiKarami and MohammadHosseini. I.R regime executed them in cold blood this morning. Is there any intention in this messed up freaking world to stop this madness? StopExecutionInIran

The European Union should expel the ambassadors of the Islamic Republic regime and recall its own ambassadors, if it does not do this, it will move in support of the mullahs, and we consider them friends and colleagues of the mullahs.. IranRevoIution MahsaAmini

MohammadGhobadloo, 22, is one of the Iranians who is charged by death penalty in the first court session without being able to have a lawyer. His neurological disorder that make tolerating prison harder. Also his family want us to BE HIS VOICE SayTheirNames MahsaAmini .

There's nothing to be done. The game won't be played. They can settle up their fantasy accounts in whatever fantasy way they like.

Didn’t RealSkipBayless get massacred on this same platform for asking the exact same question? 🤔

That is not the elephant in the room…

Really Really?

Fantasy football is such old news. Every NFL player is a ticking time bomb. The real action and big money is now being bet on which player drops dead next. Something about the batch of jabs that went to Buffalo was extra spicy. Smart money is on another bills player.

I was leading in the “championship” that weighed heavily on that game for my opponent. I suggested we just split the pot. 🤷‍♀️. I don’t even want to watch any more football right now. jockmom
