I went to enter my bracket on Yahoo, same as I've done for the last 15 years, and it's demanding to "verify" a mobile number for me, and forcing me to agree to accept marketing txts.

There's no way for me to "verify" a mobile number without agreeing to marketing txts. There's no way for me to create a bracket without "verifying" a mobile number.

Yeah, no.

And thus ends my 15 years of using the site for this, with an angry feeling on my side. Well done, Yahoo.
