    I just participated in a fantasy football draft in Yahoo Public 74238 . It was a disaster. I loath the changes you have made to all fantasy leagues this year. Incuding:
    1.) The way drafts are now being conducted, It used to fun and exciting. Now it's just a headache and very stressful, especially with all the extraneous garbage you try to sell fantasy players, When I click on the drop boxes for players by position nothing came up like it has in years past. I have major problems queueing up players and the whole experience is severely downgraded from the way it used to be. Please don't tell me you've redesigned the process to benefit players. Because it will be a massive trumpian lie.
    2.) Why you got rid of the message boards neither I or anyone I know who partakes in Yahoo Fantasy Sports understands the reasoning behind that colossal error. It worked perfectly fine until your redesign screwed it all up. It removes the immediacy of a quick response to a manager's question. Some of which are time sensitve for many good reasons.
    3.) Finally, I don't want or need some auto-generated email from you advising me politely that my feedback is being processed in a timely manner. I want real answers. I have engaged in Yahoo Fantasy Sports since the late 90's and until this disastrous year I found it was, overall, the best run fantasy league site in the business.

    It no longer is. You all should pay attention to what many fantasy boards and social media is saying about your current product. It ain't good, in fact it's very negative. Many fantasy players are leaving you in droves, especially since you and all the pro sorts leagues have partnered up with Vegas and online gambling sites. Half the time I login to my fantasy leagues, I can't view the league home page for the ubiquitous online gambling ads. This continued behavior will eventually kill the goose that laid the golden egg.

    I have lost my patience and if this situation doesn't improve before fantasy hoops begin, I and my fellow fantasy olayers will leave Yahoo. Our departure won;t hurt you immediately but hundreds of thousands of Yahoo Fantasy players will leave.

    One last issue: The stories you post on the Yahoo home page and it's various sites are so poorly written and spelled it's embarrassing. Your cost-cutting measures have led to copy editors, decent writers to be let go or they just leave you for better opportunities elsewhere. You barely write your own stories like you used to. You've become a mediocre news aggregation site. The optics and perception are a terrible look for your declining company.
