When fall hits, that means it’s football time. Classes beginning, Thanksgiving and the leaves falling have all become synonymous cues of “football time” in America for quite some time now. Because the season starts in the fall, that means that teams are playing in the bitter cold by the time the postseason rolls around. That often time means snow—especially in a city like Denver which, coincidentally, is the home to the NSFL’s Colorado Yeti football team. Let’s take a look at the numbers: The Yeti ran for 1,351 yards on 3.1 yards per attempt. Meanwhile, the Orange County Otters were only able to muster up a putrid 632 rushing yards on 2.8 yards per attempt. It’s clear they wouldn’t be able to succeed in the playoffs. Bad weather also usually results in a lot of turnovers. Since the Colorado Yeti can’t turn the ball over more than they already do, that means the Orange County Otters (or any other team in the league) would’ve started turning it over just as much as the Yeti, a team that’s built to capitalize off of other teams’ turnovers. In the regular season, the Yeti scored a touchdown on ever 6.33 forced turnovers.
TLDR: NSFL is rigged by not allowing the Yeti to thrive by playing at home during the winter.
