ESPN Fantasy Sports are made available to everyone with the understanding that we are here for a fun time. However, a distinction must be made between playful banter between competitors and abuse/hostility. ALL leagues, ESPN Standard and League Manager, both Public and Private, are subject to the ESPN Terms of Use and Fair Play and Conduct when playing Fantasy games on ESPN.

• Team managers who send threatening emails to another team manager will be warned and/or kicked out of the game and can be banned from ESPN.com altogether.
• Threats and obscenities are not allowed at any time.

Offensive posts, league, or team names are prohibited

• Any posts, including league and team names, of a derogatory nature are strictly prohibited. This restriction includes chat rooms, message boards, and the league’s bulletin board.
