I love football, too!

I am an investment banker and most of my colleagues are men. Just found out yesterday that a fantasy league was formed on our floor, and invites were only sent out to my male colleagues. I'm very disappointed because I love football, too and I would have loved to participate. When I expressed my view to one of my male colleagues, he just brushed it off by saying, "that sucks, but I'm not the commissioner.. Maybe you can be my co-captain?" I don't want to cause a big drama, but I feel like something should be said and done here. What should I do?

They should've invited you but I don't think it'd hurt to just ask if you can join. Let the creator know you love football... He probably had no idea. Maybe drop some stats or jokingly mention how you weren't invited because someone must know that you'd probably win.

The thing is they already drafted yesterday, so if I were to join now, they would have to re-do the draft.

That's weird the other male colleague didn't take that hint to mention it to the creator of the group.

You're invited.
