Jeremy Maclin, Matthew Berry play the fantasy feud

Jeremy Maclin argued with ESPN's Matthew Berry over the meaning of fantasy football.

While some NFL receivers are getting into the whole fantasy football thing, others are decidedly not. 

Kansas City Chiefs wideout Jeremy Maclin took to Twitter on Saturday to air out some frustrations over fantasy players. 

Maclin started with, “It amazes me how "Fantasy Football" is the only football that some of you know. It's sad. News flash for yall: I don't give a damn about ur "Fantasy" football team. #ChiefsKingdom,” which is a perfectly fine take. The dude just wants some fans who only care about the team.

But you can't slip this by ESPN's Matthew Berry, a “Senior Fantasy Analyst” whose entire livelihood is kind of staked to this whole fantasy football thing: 

Nor should you care @ anyone's fantasy team, Jeremy. But you don't need to insult fans who drive ratings & revenue https://t.co/A5fqDx9u74

Translation: Hey! Don't insult my life's work of telling people how to run their fake football team!

Berry doubled down, expressing his disappointment over Maclin's thoughts. 

I remain a fan of @jmac___19 but I'm disappointed by his tweet. Fantasy players drive huge ratings, revenue & interest. (1/2)

(2/2). @jmac___19 is a very talented player & I'm excited to see him play this year for KC. But he is a multi millionaire in part b/c of FF

Maclin told Berry to stay out of his pockets: “you of all ppl should know what my tweet means...football is about what a team achieves. You taking it way too far talking about my salary etc.”

Then Maclin hit Berry with the existential question of fantasy football:

@MatthewBerryTMR how can one possibly be a die hard fan of a team but want a player on that team to do bad because he plays them in fantasy.
