These days, fantasy football is popular with way more than just sports junkies. Even co-workers who once giggled at the phrase "tight end" are now clamoring to set their fantasy teams' rosters on Thursday afternoons.

But apparently office morale means nothing to Fidelity Investments, who recently axed four of their employees for acting as league commissioners.

"Firing a guy for being in a $20 fantasy league? Let's be honest -- that's a complete overreaction," said Cameron Pettigrew, who was among those who lost their jobs.

According to a Fidelity spokesperson, the $20 was the reason for the terminations, as "participation in any form of gambling though the use of Fidelity time or equipment is prohibited."

Hmm, an investment firm that plays the stock market firing an employee for making a tiny, sort-of wager? That doesn't sound right. What about the old stand-by, the office football pool?

Should company's fire employees who spend time scouring the waiver-wires for sleeper running backs?
