GRADED: GRADED: A reflection of my experience - MN_Moosey - 2022-03-27
I wanted to take a moment to talk about my current experiences with the league. I have not been exposed much to soccer (or football if you are an intelligent non-American unlike myself) throughout my days growing up even with my town’s extensive program that saw numerous fields being put in this huge complex. I had always been a fan of the other big sports like baseball and American football, but never really got interested in soccer. Maybe it was because I never had a team near me growing up to support or that my family never introduced me to it or were fans themselves. Now as an adult I have a team right next door in Minnesota United but I have not brought myself to go to a game. The field is gorgeous and honestly, I should try to go to a game sometime. I think it would be a fun experience especially with the supporters section that famously sings Wonderwall after every win. <br><br>Now with that bit of background, you might be asking “why are you in this league if you care not for the sport?” Well I joined other leagues that involve sports that I honestly do not care about like basketball. I am a GM over there so things really got out of hand real quick. I like the environment of the leagues and getting to know new people. Should I have gone first overall in the draft? Probably not, but here we are. I guess people see me as a good user or something and want to keep me on the team. I have had a great time getting to know a bunch of new people and learning a bit more about a sport that I have underrated for so long. Omni has been a great mentor and guide as I keep updating my player to be as good of a defender as I can realistically be. There is a lot that I have to do for that build so I guess it’s a good thing that I am committed to these leagues and go total try-hard. I hope I can live up to these wild expectations and be half the player that I was drafted to be.
