The Stinky Fisherman Fantasy Football League (“SFFFL”, “Lig”) was established in the year 2015. Born from humble beginnings in Philadelphia, it was an idea, a vision, a way for some pals to continue their camaraderie built in debauchery at St. Joseph’s University. As the group started to navigate the seas of life, it became clear the winds would carry them down varying routes, but they endeavored for a North Star, one that would always guide them back to one another. Thus, the Stinky Fisherman Fantasy Football League was born. The North Star which unites us all, bonds us for life, and provides the outlet to re-live, remember, and continue to the debachucherous activity of many years past.

1. Commissioner: The Lig shall always have one Commissioner. The Commissioner’s primary responsibility shall be to ensure the success and integrity of the Lig.
   • In the event the Commissioner is unable to fulfill his duties, he may appoint a successor at his sole discretion.
   • The commissioner serves at the behest of the ownership. A call for resignation may be officially submitted by any owner at any time to a Council Member. For the motion to pass, a super-majority of non-council owners (6 of 9) must be reached at a closed meeting hosted by the receiving council member in which all 9 owners must be present to cast a vote, or a quorum shall not have been reached.

Submissions will be open for a period of two-weeks and must be submitted in writing to a council member with their statement of endorsement. The council will pick the replacement from the pool of candidates at their sole discretion. Resigning owners will be removed from the group text. This same process applies to any owner expelled for disciplinary action.
