Toxic Masculinity is perhaps the most perplexing franchise in “The League.” In its first four seasons, it posted three double-digit win campaigns, advanced to the semifinals of the playoffs four times, including a championship game berth in 2007, and was one of the most successful teams in league history. From 2009-2012, however, Toxic Masculinity posted four straight losing seasons, winning no more than four games the final three years of that stretch. To show you just how far it had fallen: In each of those four seasons, it at least equaled its loss total from its first three seasons combined.  

​

That frustration has only continued for the franchise since as it remains one of just three teams in "The League" yet to win a championship. It made finals appearances in 2013, 2017 and 2023, but came up short, and it's missed the postseason entirely six times in the last 11 years including back-to-back 5-8 finishes in 2019 and 2020. It remains one of "The League's" five best teams from an all-time regular-season winning percentage perspective, but that means little for a franchise that has become championship or bust at the beginning of every new league year.
