        I'm with you on 99.8% of things, but this is a type of fantasy football draft, auction style, where all players are auctioned off. Calm down

        Fantasy players are given a budget & must draft their team, managing their budget. Been around forever, for fantasy baseball & hockey too

        I know you want to be quick on the pulse of social injustice but here you're simply taking this out of context w/out enough info.

        I also say this to you, not as a troll (I am a fan of your work) but as someone who writes fantasy football advice for several years.

        I participate in auction drafts too. They don't look/feel like this. His picture is on a Popsicle stick & ppl are bidding from the crowd.

        You just described how other auctions (antiques and valuables etc) are run, again, Tom Brady was auctioned off too.

        They don't put pictures of the car on a Popsicle stick... and NO human should be auctioned off in that manner... this was plantation style.

        It's an auction draft, which is a type of fantasy football draft available. No need for the outrage.
