These photos present the idea that people who play fantasy look forward to watching the games and have an emotional connection to it. For the past two years me and my friends have taken part of a Fantasy Football league that has been a large part of our fall season where we all come together to watch the games after a long week of school. The first photo depicts a student who is looking at their phone on the ESPN app for Fantasy Football while in school working. This is a sneak peak of how Fantasy football is an escape from the stress that people have during the week and people during the week look forward to the escape they will receive at the end of the week. The second photo is a representation of the satisfaction/gratification people receive from watching fantasy football. This is exactly what people are looking forward to when they are going by in the week. Fantasy football is also something that a group of people who part take in can bond over and all enjoy. But with the good moments come the bad too, half of the fun is the emotional roller coaster you sign up for every week. The third photo shows the difference between peoples reactions and how there are ups and downs but that sense of not knowing what is going to happen is one that is unrivaled and is what makes Fantasy football so interesting and fun to play. In all these photos are a representation of something special that millions of Americans part take in but for every group who does is something unique that helps bring them together and relieve them from the stress they experience leading up to the Sunday of that week, and that is why Fantasy Football is a one of a kind experience people around the country should try out.
