Yahoo Sports: Scores & News 17+

Feature request

I’ve used this app for at least 15 years and appreciate it remaining nearly the same as it always has been. Don’t fix what isn’t broke basically.

However, two requests: the Join Discussion still loads after the rest of the page, and I end up clicking into it by accident more often than not. Second, NCAAB has so many games and conferences that most people don’t care about. It would be great to have an extended Power 5 sort feature. Basically every conference that consistently ends up with more than 1 team in the tournament. So ACC/B10/B12/BE/MTW/SEC/WCC. Maybe the ability to add conferences to your favorites list would make it so everyone can customize the Score page a little better.

Thanks for being the best app available for sports fans.

Yahoo Plus Allows COLLUSION

RESPONSE TO DEVELOPER RESPONSE: I did write to that email address and demonstrated through evidence that there was a very high chance of collusion. Yahoo vetoed the 2nd trade - which was lopsided but not overly so compared to many non-collusive trades - and wouldn’t provide a word of explanation as to why. If it’s not for collusion, then half the trades made would then be subject to veto. The first trade these 2 colluding teams made involved 8 players and the team that got the windfall is now in a virtual tie for 1st. And Yahoo just allows that. It’s a joke. This is a $250 buy in league too, was gonna do $500 or maybe $1000 next yr. Yahoo provides not a word to inform as to any explanation or the criteria used to assess trades. Have been using Yahoo Fantasy Sports for 20+yrs but this is my last.

In a $250 baseball fantasy league and 2 owners - one of whole was in dead last both times - made lopsided trades that favored one. That owner went from 8th to first. The second trade - which was imbalanced but not much more than a typical lopsided trade - was vetoed by Yahoo. Yet they’re not disqualifying both teams even though one team already reaped the benefits of the first trade - an 8 player one - and they’re almost certainly gonna do shenanigans again. Was considering $500 or even $1000 leagues next year but never gonna do Yahoo pro again.

Once a trade is accepted or rejected by our League Office the decision is final and explanations aren't provided. If you believe there's collusion in your league, please contact us through the sports section at help.yahoo.com, DM us @YahooFantasyCC on Twitter or on Reddit at r/YahooFantasy for further investigation.

Plain Ridiculous!

I have told Yahoo! about the same “bug” and yet nothing gets done?!?! When commenting all the sudden the app looks like it’s “searching” or “refreshing”(The Searching thing pops up and in the middle of the screen it stays!!)
and you are unable to post your comment. You can continue to type BUT you can’t fix any mistakes or post, you can’t get out of commenting, The only thing that you can do is close the app and open it back up again. Yahoo will not allow you to comment if your comment doesn’t meet their guidelines yet Yahoo writers can write whatever they want, They can voice their opinion about any and all athletes, coaches, Team owners or whoever and regardless of how wrong, untrue(I could prove writers have written false articles if I could post a screenshot here)the article is it is still allowed to be posted. Yahoo will allow. Divisive comments, Yet if I want to call another commenter out for his/her ignorance I am the one not allowed to comment. Yahoo will “suspend” your commenting privileges also, you won’t be able to comment on certain articles, Oh and it’s obvious why those articles can’t be commented on also Yahoo 🙄 bottom line, Yahoo has lost its way, like the other sellouts
