Default Would you protest a trade if you knew there was no collusion?

And thus were protesting because you thought the trade was unfair (and not to just try and screw another owner or something).

Yes, absolutely. But you will need to provide hard statistical facts that make your case.

This is very dependent on the league rules. Our league rules state that no trade can be overturned unless collusion or indifference on the part of one party was evident.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. The voting on this poll disgusts me. If people are going to be punished for being a good negotiator or taking advantage of a weaker team, why don't we have "REDO's" for when certain teams draft too well as well.

Unless it's clearly collusion, one should never veto. I've voted to veto only one trade in all my years of fantasy football, and it was only becuase a winless team was obviously giving up on his season.

I agree (althought not as vehemently).

The answer is "no", and its not close.

I agree. In the 18 years my rotisserie baseball league has existed, not a single trade has ever been vetoed.

Err..


Sure, if you're in a league where everyone is good, you may never need to veto a trade. I don't think I'd waste my time playing in a league that didn't have a mechanism for voting down lopsided deals though, even deals where there is no collusion likely. Winning the league shouldn't be about who can sucker or browbeat the chumps at the bottom of the standings the worst....

No, you shouldn't vote to veto or protest legitimately reasonable trades just because you're not happy about what a competitor is getting.
