During their fantasy football marathon, they kept cutting away to people bidding on players. Auction leagues are popular but I was shocked that they would go along with the bit after this weekend. A bunch of white dudes bidding on black guys

Expect an apology soon. Really funny that ESPN goes out of their way to cater to left leaning sports fans and still make mistakes like this.

I love it when companies try their hardest to pander, still frick up, and get killed by the people they so desperately want to like them.

It's idiotic for anyone to get offended by it, but that won't stop people.

Some tard got offended at a baseball game because the starting pitcher had 3 strike outs.

I'm surprised the SJWs haven't tried to shut down fantasy for this.

Every time I read a comment about "I own X player" I just picture some SJW getting triggered and wanting to shut down fantasy sports because of slavery.

They'll have to restrict themselves to hockey-only fantasy auctions.

And there will be no one to defend them. The reasonable people who would defend them have long left.

The bigger crime is that Frank caliendo is still being used as a comedic act for ESPN

I mean, I don't think anyone actually believes this is what they were doing, but it is a shitty look. Especially after all the bullshite that just went down in Virginia

I really have to explain why a bunch of white guys bidding on a black person is not the best look to have in such a divisive period of American history?

Going by the Poli board's reaction to this past weekend? Yes.

I saw them bid on Gronk and Aaron Rodgers. What's the spin on that?
