[quote=Anonymous]The level of fanaticism matters a lot.

Compare:
* Being cool with getting up for 1-2 minutes a few times during non-critical junctures (e.g. to help with a diaper, to find some semi-lost object, to look at some work of art, etc)
* Keeping your cool even if your team is losing
* Enjoying having the kids around to watch the game with you. 
* Interacting with the family during non-game times, and maybe picking 1-2 of the possible game slots to watch a game.

with

* Acting annoyed at any interruption at all. 
* Being a prick if your team is losing.
* Expecting the chance to totally concentrate
* Ignoring the family from noon until midnight on Saturday and Sunday

Fantasy is as important as you let it -- if DH requires a night during the week for the draft, and then 15-30 minutes of planning to figure out lineup changes, no biggie. If he's in five leagues, is gone every Sunday, etc. that's not as cool.

The wives who act annoyed that their husband has an interest other than what they want are even worse IMO. At least the sports fan can be left to rot. [/quote]
