The question does not exist to judge people based on their answer, rather to judge the people who consider themselves too dignified to answer the question at all.
Also, this is a terrible defense "because other people do the same thing." Also, I'm pretty sure people criticize the nfl for this kind of question too. Plus, you aren't hiring a football player, you are inviting people to join your sim league team. If you don't understand how people are offended by that you are lost man.
I understand why people are offended, if you don’t understand why I keep it to filter out players that won’t enjoy a certain locker room environment, then I’d suggest you are lost.
If you make a locker room culture that has an environment that will offend people, then that is an even bigger problem.
It offends about 3-4 people per 100, usually after someone else tells them to be offended in my experience. In a 270 person class, a single player was offended. It’s not an offensive environment, but it’s also not for the easily offended. Idk what to say, except everyone in there ends up loving it.
In discussions in Tijuana pretty much every prospect said they thought it was a weird question, most said they just answered bc they didn't want to lower their draft stock. A question can be inoffensive and still be a bad question to ask. To me it came across as an inside joke that doesn't land if you're not in on the joke, it was just strange.
