so if there was a few black dudes in the crowd it would have been good? despite some white ppl still being there?
Breh....where did I say anything about white people in a crowd buying black players as a suggestion?
I think I get where we're miscommunicating though. You must think that I'm suggesting they keep the concept of being outdoors with a crowd and an auctioneer.
No. Absolutely not.
I'm saying that shouldn't have done a live auctioneer setting at all. I'm saying that if they absolutely wanted to do a visual display of how an auction draft in fantasy works, they should've made it more studio panel/discussion-based with a diverse panel of analysts.
Get former players and ESPN talking heads playing the role of GM for their fantasy team, put buzzers or even corded phones in front of them, put players on the board with their value distinguished as a contract with their highlights/stats/team additions as reasons on the board as incentives.
See a player, you like? Pick up your phone and make your pitch. Have the other GM bid by picking their phone up and cutting the call off to drive the price up or steal the player away from the other GM's team. If other people don't bid, they can explain why they want to save up to show why some players are risky in fantasy this year.
This way, you make the optic more
draft than
auction.
...and you absolutely don't have the analysts or GM's be white and you absolutely do not have every player be black.
...whats this mean?
