Fantasy football can be a ton of fun for fans of the game, but unfortunately, it can also bring out the worst in people. Everybody who plays has experience with owners who act selfishly, do things out of spite, or just generally sap the enjoyment from what is supposed to be a recreational activity.

Still, most of the offenses, annoying though they may be, are relatively minor. In rare cases, however, people can take things to a whole new level. According to Deadspin, one such owner just put himself in the Rage Stroke Hall of Fame by demanding his money back and actually threatening the league treasurer with what would happen if he did not get his money and his brother's back within 24 hours.
The league treasurer explained, "'Wolfpack' was mad that a trade [Jimmy Graham and Alshon Jeffery for Julius Thomas and Dez Bryant] he had made was vetoed by the league. One of the reasons it was vetoed was that he accidentally voted against it himself. [The] next week, he tried the trade again and it went through.... Me and some others in the league didn't like that. So we began posting smack talk in group text messages about it, and I began posting messages on our league message board about it. Things about him being a shady league owner, him never paying his entry fee on time, him having no respect for the league, etc."

The treasurer continued, "I was the one doing most of the smack talk and am also the 'league treasurer' handling all the money involved with the league. We went back and forth for a while on each other talking smack in group text messages and on the league message board. Eventually I woke up one morning to 10 missed calls and that ridiculous angry voicemail rant of him going crazy demanding his and his brother's $150 back. Him and his brother both quit the league that day.... Meanwhile me and the rest of the league thought it was hilarious and have adopted '24 f---ing hours' as our new league motto."
As any normal group of people would probably do, the rest of the league members elected to give the guy and his brother their money back.
