In other racial news…

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.

Not in that situation.

Gosh, those silly blacks are getting all uppity about race issues again!

*rolls eyes*

I know, right? My descendants were sold at auction and I totally don’t care how this looks.

You’re descendants???

Yes, I am.

please explain. You are saying your children or grandchildren or etc were sold at auction. That does not make sense. Maybe you meant ancestors, but even that wouldn’t make sense cause I am pretty you have already made clear that you are white.
