ESPN issued an apology for its airing of a fantasy football auction on their network recently. “Auction drafts are a common part of fantasy football, and ESPN’s segments replicated an auction draft with a diverse slate of top professional football players,” ESPN said in a statement. They continued by saying   “Without that context, we understand the optics could be portrayed as offensive, and we apologize.”

Sounds like their apology came from the backlash, not from the comprehension of their error. Besides if they understood the context of auctioning off Black players as it relates to slavery as opposed to how it relates to fantasy football; they would never would have aired it in the first place.

One of the show’s executives Courtney Kemp also had some words for the Starz network. “I asked them for 12 episodes for season four and they would not do it.

I always wondered why doctors would tell you to take all your antibiotics; even if you feel better. Martin Llewelyn, a a professor in infectious diseases at Britain’s University of Sussex, seems to agree. He wrote an article in the British Medical Journal that refutes the age old adage. He noted that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has replaced the label of taking antibiotics from “complete the course” to “exactly as prescribed.” Not only does taking antibiotics longer than necessary increase the risk of developing a resistance; it is not supported by scientific evidence.

The story of the day has been allegations of R. Kelly having a cult of women. Three different sets of parents came forward and said that R. Kelly was brainwashing their daughters. They said that Kelly is “manipulating” their minds and control their every move and action. One set of those parents came forward and had a press conference to further their claim against R. Kelly. Timothy Savage and his wife Jonjelyn Savage held the press conference and didn’t really go into details about their claims. It was revealed that their daughter name was Joycely. Timothy Savage did say that he didn’t see his daughter since she went to college. How long she was in college before she met R. Kelly? We don’t know. He also said that he was working with the F.B.I and Sherriff department. Why didn’t they arrest R. Kelly yet? He didn’t say. He did say that he has evidence that what he is saying is true. However, that evidence will come out at a later date. Not sure what to make of this situation, but hopefully it gets resolved. You can watch the video of the press conference below.
