seriously those things are awful. They look like the Taiwan news animations

Can't imagine seeing that cartoonish stuff and wanting someone fired like the tweets suggest.

@espn We're waiting for your apology for the Civil War graphic and use of the Confederate anthem "Dixie." Inaccurate + tone deaf.
I just cant relate to this.
How pathetic is your life? You've been so wronged by a song on TV and things just won't be right until the Network issues a blanket apology.
"MY OPINIONS MATTER!"

How are those "Confederate soldiers"? they are simply wearing colts colors.

I think people need to lighten up. Such a silly thing to get mad over.
I think the only reason people bitch about it now is because they have an outlet to do it and they know they could get a response to it and get them to apologize.
10 years ago people wouldn't even give it 2 seconds of thought. If someone was really a nutball, they would have to email ESPN about it. And most likely ESPN would just brush it off and wouldn't say anything about it. But now it's so easy to fire off a tweet, and it's public and can gain momentum and a company like ESPN feels compelled to apologize to these morons for PR purposes.
I'm starting to rant a little, but I think social media is one of the worst things to happen to society in my 30 year lifetime.

Our society is now run by the blue check marked outrage mob.

I was very confused by the choice of graphics they used for that segment.

Ahhhhhh, this is what the white people are bitching about what black people shouldn't offended about today?

We’ve advanced so far with technology and cpu graphics and this is the shite they throw out there.
Posted on 1/7/19 at 3:21 pm to BilJ
Some of those tweets that are voicing their outrage are hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.

The shitty graphics are the most offensive thing about this nonsense.

Per usual, the outraged need a history lesson.
The song was composed 15 years before the Civil War.
It’s association with the Civil War is not direct.
