Fans calling plays? New indoor football team giving it a try (Yahoo Sports)

William McCarthy, chosen by fans to coach the Salt Lake Screaming Eagles of the Indoor Football League, will soon be calling plays for the expansion franchise by waiting for a majority vote over a matter of seconds from many of those same people. The founders of a company called FANchise want to reinvent what they see as a struggling arena game by letting fans make all sorts of decisions, believing the popularity of fantasy football can translate to the real thing and perhaps be the basis for an entire league of at least partially fan-run franchises. ''We were unanimously approved as an ownership group for the new franchise,'' co-founder Sohrob Farudi said.
