Name calling isn't illegal no matter how disgusting, but I think the only thing you can do is change leagues not respond to the smack talk.
How did you get in this league anyway and don't you know the commisioner?
Not that this loser should be using this word anyway, but if you don't know him maybe he's black or doesn't know you are.
Either way - still sorry.

First, tell them that it offends you. In fantasy sports, there are many exchanges of bad language that aren't thought of as offensive. But if you think it was used in a degrading manner or you just do not like to be called that, then tell him/her, once again. If they stop, don't worry, it was probably just regular trash talk. If the problem persists, consider leaving the league, unless you are playing for money, have spent vast amounts of time in it, or if you really like it otherwise. If the commissioner doesn't stop, you can also report them on some sites (Yahoo Fantasy Sports), or call a law enforcement agency.

By reporting him he will get an email warning but may not have any other action taken as a first offense. The content in the forum will be removed by Yahoo. At their discretion they may remove his ability to post any messages for the remainder of the season and/or remove his controls as commissioner to prevent retaliation. Further occurances will result in the complete removal of his Yahoo account.

I'd let the other members know about this, quit the league and suggest the other owners do the same. People who are that ignorant won't be changed through a FF baseball league so don't waist your time or effort on this ***.

First, let him ( I'm assuming it's a him) know that you find it insulting and degrading. If he continues...get it on tape. Then sue the pants off him.

report him to yahoo. Send an email to yahoo telling them your league # and see what they can do. If you arent African American I dont see why it would affect you but if you are then hes an idiot.

I would probably call law enforcement and ask them.
