The Game
Losing yourself in the world of your miniature league is exactly the experience I get with my own solo tabletop baseball league. In fact, I found myself a lot more involved with my Allegorical and Notional Leagues than I was with real-world baseball. And yes, the experience of football without contract disputes or off-field controversies, that's how we perceived football as we were growing up, innocent of the uglier behind-the-scenes controversies. It was just the game, every week. That's all that mattered.
