The John Galt League

By Diana Hsieh

Much to my delight, Kevin McAllister has agreed to act as the commissioner for a fantasy football league for fans of NoodleFood. Hence, the "John Galt League" has been resurrected!

You need not be an Objectivist to join the league, but you should be a fan of NoodleFood, not hostile to me and mine. Kevin has told me that "If Immanuel Kant tries to join, I'll reject him." (So there, Manny!)

The league will be run on ESPN.com. When I managed the John Galt League two years ago, my greatest frustration was that communication between teams was difficult. So I often felt like I was playing with a bunch of strangers, not friends and acquaintances. To alleviate that problem, I've created a mailing list for the league on Google Groups. That way, we can trash talk at will discuss some of the interesting epistemic and ethical dimensions of the game over the course of the season.

If you want to join the league, you need to sign up with the Google Group. Then we'll all sign up on ESPN, then Kevin will schedule a draft. If you have any questions or problems, please contact Kevin McAllister at kevin@mcallister.ws.

Space is very limited, so sign up now if you want to join.

Thank you, Kevin!
