The Hall of Fame, a debate. Pt. 1
Welcome to mah rant!
The Hall of Fame is one of the most outdated thing on this forum. We aren't even updating the Hall of Fame. This is outrageous, as many players strive to be recognized in the ultimate manner, regardless of their team's success in the playoffs. The Hall of Fame would be one way to do that. The whole thing needs to be restructured. Every year, we need at least 2 people to get into the Hall of Fame. As a community of fans and GMs and players, we have a question we need to ask ourselves. How easy should it be to get into the Hall of Fame? We only want the cream of the crop, not just anyone who put up a good season or two. Just like how regular season success is being undervalued, we need to make sure making it into the Hall of Fame is an accurate representation of a player's career success.
Right now, today, some little boy is sitting down on his couch, waiting to watch the Ultimis with his family. He has dreams of standing up there, in front of an audience of millions, and he wants to hold that trophy. To show everyone that he deserves it, to show everyone that all his hard work has finally paid off. But he also knows it's a long shot, and that despite how hard he tries, he may just never be able to win the coveted Ultimis championship. We have some people in that league right now, and we will have them in the future. As more and more teams get added, as this league grows larger and larger, success will be limited. Those who deserve recogntion should recieve it. That might no longer be the case if we do not fix the problem. We need to bring back the Hall of Fame. We need to make the Hall of Fame great again, just as a certain poltician wants to make his country great again.
Lurking GMs, look here!
Good job lurking GMs, you probably saw the description and you're waiting for your moment. Well here it is, and you probably have a vague idea of what I'm going to be talking about. After I read a recent article ("You want to be an expansion GM?"), I realized how much time and effort goes into being a good general manager. Dynasties are hard to come by, and will be even harder to create with the new expansion teams presumably coming to the NSFL. I have nothing but respect for all the GMs and the work they put in to making their team the best possible. Most GMs have to sacrifice their player's career in order to be a good GM, and then where is the recognition for that? I'm going to keep it real with you all. Everyone works to be recognized. We all want that satisfaction we achieve when someone recognizes us for our legendary name because they read about it in an article. You want to be remembered as one of the greats, especially with the league rapidly growing. As I mentioned above, the Hall of Fame is outdated and severely lacking. If you have an IQ over 20, you most likely know where I'm going with this. I want hard work to be recognized in this league. That includes the work GMs do for their team. There, I said it. I want GMs to be able to be inducted into the Hall of Fame (if it ever gets revived). GMs work so hard for their team, and the ones that build dynasties are just as, if not more, responsible than the players for winning the coveted ultimis championship. Don't forget to thank your general manager for trusting you to be a part of their squad. They put in the hours scouting you and many others, making sure you were the right fit for their intentions. There is no good reason why the general managers should be excluded from such a prestigious honor, when they are the reason players are winning championships and getting their names entered into the history books.
