BONUS Fryday: The Shedeur Sanders Incident: Unmasking Viral Humiliation Disguised as Humor

The so-called “prank” on Shedeur Sanders during the NFL Draft wasn’t funny. It was calculated cruelty disguised as humor. In this Bonus Fryday episode, I unpack what really happened when a 21-year-old adult used stolen confidential information to humiliate someone for views, clout, and laughs.
