commishburnout

/kəˈmɪʃˌbɜːnaʊt/nounVerified New

Society & Philanthropy

The exhaustion of a fantasy or rec-league commissioner providing unpaid administration year after year.

The commissioner sets the draft, settles disputes, chases fees, and gets blamed for the trade review everyone hated. Most leagues are one resignation away from discovering what the commish actually did all those years.

Etym. — commish (short for commissioner) + burnout: workplace vocabulary for a job nobody applied to leave.
