The Cold, Hard Football Facts don’t get the attachment people have to imaginary fake football. But whatever. To each their own.
But the story strikes us a douch-y for one major reason: Fidelity Investments has for years blocked its employees from soaking in the infinite wisdom of the Cold, Hard Football Facts, apparently content to let its employees suffer in mindless ignorance, forcing them to pursue imaginary fake football instead.
Fidelity is also major employer in Boston, a city where we've long had a lot of readers. But no thanks to Fidelity. Apparently, the powers that be there were a little upset that so many of their employees were gaining infinite football wisdom from CHFF and they blocked us years ago ... at least that's the report straight from many people we know at Fidelity.
Hey, it's their company. They can fire whoever they want whenever they want as far as we're concerned. But they're also f*cking with our business, by dening potentially tens of thousand of people access to our site. So screw them.
By the way, Fidelity is the same investment company that lost its customers billions of dollars because of its inability to predict the investment markets ... that's like us taking off with your gambling money despite giving you sh*tty picks week after week (of course, we don't do either). Fidelity is also the same company that
witnessed record outflows ($40 billion) in 2008 as frustrated customers raced to get their money out of the hands of incompetent Fidelity fund managers.
Normally canning fans of imaginary fake football wouldn’t bother us. But in this case, the company in question is anti-football, anti-knowledge, anti-customer and anti-CHFF. It deserves all the bad publicity that comes its way.
Plus, they fired these guys on the eve of the fantasy playoffs. That's cold.
