This board has no idea how much they love ESPN.

People being too sensitive on this. I saw the little sketches and thought they were corny but never had any kind of racial thoughts about it.

Heh, nothing like getting your hand bit when you feed rabid dogs on a regular basis.

Most normal folks would never think of a vague connection between fantasy football and slavery.
This is an example of try waaayy too hard to be "offended" over something, anything

So they should stop something they've done for years because someone might take it out of context and get offended?
At what point do we put responsibility on those getting offended to do their homework and realize it's not a big deal?

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.

At some point we have to stop pandering to the perpetually offended.

Agreed. But if we are going to do stuff like this, we shouldn't act shocked or surprised when people do end up getting offended by this

In the clip I saw Odell went for like 34 dollars, are they using a 100 dollar limit or something?

Wait is there actual outrage or is this conjecture on your part ?

Pretty sure it was basically like a twitter meme for a second. I don't think anyone is actually upset about it outside of a couple looneys
