Fantasy football has turned from a hobby to get together with friends to play during the season to a casual $70 billion dollar industry.
One the biggest day of the year for that industry, the biggest player in the market, ESPN’s Fantasy Football crashed.
We are aware of the current technical difficulties. We apologize for the inconvenience & are working to resolve the issue ASAP.

The network’s premier application leaving only about 71 million users in the dark.
Many of their users including a sitting U.S. senator, took to Twitter to complain:
ESPN had one job… Don’t fuck up the fantasy app. One job.
First day of the season, it’s fucked.
