Different Experience for Females in Fantasy Baseball?
“I don’t think it will be at all, especially because people in your league may not even know your gender. When it comes down to it, it’s all about how knowledgeable you are about the game, and how active you are in keeping your team as good as it can be. The fact of the matter is that men tend to be more interested in sports than women, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions to that rule, and a knowledgeable woman can be just as successful and have the same fantasy baseball experience and any man.
—Danny, online fantasy sports columnist, age 23
“Not really— just be aware of attempts to take advantage of you. They always assume a “girl” will be more susceptile to lopsided trades, etc. However, same rules apply to everybody.”
—Cheri Maples, Fantasy Baseball League participant
