It's amazing how little it takes to get a blue check mark. There's people with hundreds of followers with blue check marks. As long as you act outraged about stuff and bitch about Trump Twitter will give you one.

my thoughts when that all came up...

A) Are they really playing "Dixie" right now?

B) Apology incoming in 3... 2... 1...

Whoever did the graphic obviously wasn't much of a historian. They probably played Dixie because it has a nice oldish march tune to it.

exactly... the person who added the music probably just googled "civil war era music" and up popped "Dixie" and he thought "perfect background music for this Andrew Luck graphic"

they could've picked any other pipes and drums style song and been ok... but the audio guy just HAD to find "Dixie" 1st

We’ve advanced so far with technology and cpu graphics and this is the shite they throw out there.

Some of those tweets that are voicing their outrage are hilarious and pathetic all at the same time.

Ironically, most of the people bitching about this on Twitter are white. Nice try, though.

I wonder how many people were actually offended that ESPN's apology was issued towards. five? Maybe six?

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.



You have to start with a victim mentality.

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.

Twitter needs to go.

So tired of companies apologizing because 5 upper class white 20-year old girls in Conneticut are outraged.
