Yikes. Great timing.
Is this really that big of a deal? They weren’t selling black people, they were doing a FANTASY auction of football players. It also included white players. According to the article you linked too, auctions are common in fantasy football.
"Auction drafts are a common part of fantasy football, and ESPN’s segments replicated an auction draft with a diverse slate of top professional football players. Without that context, we understand the optics could be portrayed as offensive, and we apologize,” ESPN said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports.
I’ve done Fantasy for many years now and this story proves that if someone does something as simple as taking something out of context, they’ll get offended real quick.
Just once I wish you guys could admit that maybe just maybe black people could have an issue with something that you guys don’t.
Just once I wish that you guys could admit that "maybe just maybe* just because some black people have an issue with something, doesn’t automatically make it a valid complaint. It seems all that matters to you whether a black person has a issue with something, is doesn’t seem to matter to you whether the complaint is actually reasonable or not. If a black person said that the term Eagles was racist, you’d demand The Philadelphia Eagles change their names.
