Fantasy Football Players Angry At Last Minute Fee Addition
from the free-depending-on-the-time- dept
Just as the football season is starting, one online site that offered "free" fantasy football leagues has instituted a last minute fee, that is angering many team owners. When they signed up (and, in fact, still) they were promised that the site would host their leagues for free. But, now "free" only means free during "non-peak" hours. While this is better than instituting a full fee, it is a bit questionable to wait until right before the season starts to put it in place. I wonder if they can be charged with "bait and switch", since they promised one thing and ended up delivering another.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
