Honestly don't care when he gutted. He didn't gut before the season because he thought he was going to play through the season at first. As the season wore on and realized he couldn't deal with the sim changes and hit a breaking point he called it quits. He would've just gutted day 40 last season if he didn't intend on playing season 14. Shit happens and people reach a point spurred by perhaps a specific game or issue they have with the sim or real life stuff or realize they spend way too many hours on GLB. Sometimes it's a spur of the moment thing and people just quit
Honestly, who cares. The "spirit" of the game wasn't ruined as there are like 4 teams in each conference who are essentially gutted or with guys way too low level to make an impact that are serving the same as guts (though they do get to beat cpu teams but that doesn't mean anything). I don't see a bunch of threads about those teams. In my opinion that's a lot more selfish than what OTR is doing (turtles, freedom, flying elvis, brokeback)
I know being a helpful gm is different from ownership. That's why I don't own a team.
You raise good points about the other teams that are wasting space. I guess they would have to start their own threads like Tooley did.
How would the "spirit" be affected if every team that has a low chance of making the playoffs just up and quit? Besides, there was nothing wrong with OTR. Well, not the players anyway.
