Alternate History Sports / National Dashball League

Hey, I understand not wanting to change the story. In fact, the Redbacks' absurd dynasty is pretty fun and gives the league a realistic feel. It's a relatively new sport, so it makes sense that one team would be able to snatch up a ton of talent and dominate for years on end.

Can't Be a Bandwagoner if I follow the Redbacks since this was on the SportsLogos Forum.

We don't talk about that site here, also why are you a Avengers (only WLAF champions), Rouge (Tied for most NAAF titles), Zephyrs (Most NFA titles) and Redbacks (most titles in this) fan? As Kevin Harvick once said "They have a golden horseshoe stuck up their A**.

Woah, bring it down, my man. No need to go off on him, that was very hostile. Plus, it’s not in the rules to not talk about that site, some people here are still heavily active over there.

As for the Redbacks, yeah, we need expansion to kick them in the jewels heavily.

I’m sorry Edgeworth and ZO82 I’ve just been having a bad day.

It’s all good, man. Just be wary of taking frustrations out on others here. I’m not a moderator (although should the need for a 6th arise, I’d very happily take it, wink wink) but I hate seeing this happen here.

None of these teams are real. I don't see a problem with being a fan of any team, or those fandom's shifting. I've changed my allegiance in leagues because a team got a new design I loved, to a new city was announced, or they had something awesome happen with a player/coach/owner/character in the story. If you're a fan of winners, great. Show support, cheer on your team, but most importantly, provide feedback to the creators. Tell them what you like or dislike. Don't try to hijack the thread to make your ideas part of the story. Be part of the universe!

I know. I’ve just been having a really bad day because my mom is being tested for COVID-19 after feeling awful for 2 straight weeks and my dishwasher broke

Sorry to hear that Rugrat. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

I appreciate you guys being able to work through things without mod help. I love our community. But we can get back to the topic at hand now, which of course is how much Texas is dominating.

Really great work on this series, IDM, even if one team is just manhandling the league. I’ll be curious to see if expansion actually puts a real dent in the Redbacks’ roster or not. Seems like four expansion teams would just make it easier with the whole league watered down.

I'm sorry about your mom. I hope her health improves and I'll be keeping her in my thoughts. I sincerely hope you stick around, because I appreciate your involvement, and I felt like I should bring you behind the scenes and let you know that I'm not conspiring in favor of the Redbacks or anything. Thanks to all of you for being so understanding and supportive.

As for the impact of expansion on the Redbacks, there's still another full season before any expansion team will be joining the league. I think the bigger impact will be that five of Texas's starters will be free agents this offseason and three more will be next season, and while I'm sure many of them will want to stick around and keep winning a lot, the team certainly won't be able to keep all of them around, and the rest of the league will want to pay them what they're worth, which should at least prevent them from winning literally every game they play.
