There’s just something special about rooting for the underdog. In fantasy sports, we often see teams who are picked to finish last come out on top. Why is it that we love cheering for these unlikely champions? Here are three reasons:
They prove the experts wrong.
Fantasy underdogs give us hope that anything is possible, no matter the odds. When an underdog team wins, it’s a reminder that what matters most is hard work and determination.
They are often the most exciting teams to watch.
Underdog teams tend to be scrappier and have more heart than their opponents. This allows them to pull off incredible comebacks and thrilling upsets when all hope seems lost.
They bring people together from all walks of life.
In fantasy sports, we’re usually divided by our allegiances; but with an underdog team, we can all come together in celebration as one collective group of fans! There’s nothing quite like cheering on your favorite little engine that could – or realizing that you just won a fantasy sports league because of them.
No matter the sport, underdogs have captivated audiences for decades and will continue to do so. Whether you like to bet on them or just enjoy watching them play, they always bring exciting energy that can’t be found anywhere else in sports. At the end of the day, what matters most is hard work and determination – something these teams embody more than any other. So why not take a chance on the little engine that could? You never know where it might lead!
