I call the 2026 Subreddit Fork Committee to order!
Yes, it's only Week 5, but with a whopping five teams sitting at 0-4 and some other likely suspects at 1-3, I'm calling the Subreddit Fork Committee early this year.
As a reminder, "Forking" a team is to preemptively count a team out of the playoff race: stick a fork in 'em, they're done. The subreddit's forks exist separately from any the Heroes might choose.
Last year, the subreddit forked an initial slate of eight teams and added seven more to the list, with only the Pittsburgh Steelers defying the fork and making the playoffs.
To start off the year, I will comment below with the names of all sub-.500 teams and upvotes/downvotes and replies will determine which teams are forked. If there are any close calls, I'll create polls to put it to an official vote.
Each subsequent week, I'll follow up with posts tracking the records of our forked teams, and opening the floor for further nominations.
Let the Forking begin!
edit: I think a 60% supermajority of upvotes will be threshold, at least to start
