A new fantasy baseball league is set to debut on opening day. This league will change what other fantasy leagues offer in the future. It’s “Baseball Boyfriend,” the first and only of its kind.

The premise is simple. You pick a player for the day to be your “baseball boyfriend.” You can choose him based on looks or skill, and you score points based on his performance for the day. If you keep him in your “Little Black Book” past noon, he’s your player for the day. You can keep him for one day or the whole season. You get one player per league, but if monogamy isn’t your thing you can sign up for multiple leagues and have several different baseball boyfriends.

The first thing I thought of when I heard about this new league was how fun it would be. It combines two of my favorite things, and makes a friendly competition out of it.

As I read more information on it, I came across an article that called the fantasy baseball league, “completely sexist.” Is that the only thing girls actually care about when they watch baseball games? Are we that dumb that we can’t understand normal fantasy leagues?

Now I’ll be the first to admit it is a little demeaning to women. I grew up playing softball, and cheering the Colorado Rockies on every summer, so I know quite a bit about the sport. I watch the game and analyze the game just as much as my male friends, and I know a lot of girls who watch baseball, football, and basketball and can keep up with the rules. Those same friends and I also watch the game and comment on the player’s attractiveness. It’s a part of their appeal. If you take Tim Tebow, and make him a less attractive version of himself, he won’t be nearly as popular. That’s one of the things that made Tebow so likeable. He is hot. What’s wrong with taking that same concept and having some fun with it for professional baseball?

I don’t know why people are complaining about it. There are about a hundred more ways to make this game sexist. It could start by rating the players on the size of their biceps, or their cup size, or the color of their hair. Each player could be assigned a rating based on their overall attractiveness, and the girls in the league could fight over these players day after day. That would be a sexist fantasy league, but that’s not how the league works. If you pick Tulowitzki and he hits 3 homeruns and completes an unassisted triple play in one game, you’re going to be rewarded for that. There’s nothing wrong with trying to have a little fun during the season.

This league provides real entertainment during baseball season. It’s fun. It’s not meant to demean girls and their lack of sports knowledge. If girls take offense to it, don’t sign up. Sign up for a regular fantasy league, and prove to everyone who cares, that you take everything so seriously. Let the rest of us have some fun with our favorite players.
