What's this?

Hijack - speaking of stupid FFB stuff. I saw an article on CNN that ESPN


was under fire for being racist as hell. Granted, the article quoted a bunch of random tweets from random people so it could easily have been one of those "4 people on Twitter are upset= Twitter outrage" stories. The issue was ESPN broadcasted an auction draft during it's 24 hour fantasy football coverage (which I find pretty dumb, but I also don't care much since I only watch ESPN for the live sports) and the Twitter rage equated auctioning off "only black" players in fantasy football to a slave auction. I'm not sure if the Twitter people realized that winning a player in FFB auction doesn't mean a person actually owns that individual. I also think they must not understand that the majority of players in FFB positions are likely to be black, however there are other races being drafted too. Man I hate social media.
