Fantasy Football Class

Yes! Schools are finally teaching children something useful — how to succeed in fantasy football. But I think they should steer clear of the Jesus references. Separation of church and state, after all.

The economy is going down the pooper, and American children are struggling with math and sciences. So, what better way is there to coax them into proper mathematical habits than tricking them? Hypnosis, probably. But parents will get all whiny about it and complain. Fantasy football it is!

These teachers have the math part down. But when do they move on to teaching about trash talk and team naming? You know, the important stuff.

(Yes, I know that education is serious. And it’s a pretty cool way to learn math. It looks like more fun than straight up equations — unless you wasted a high pick on Tom Brady.)
