Yahoo Fantasy eliminates buying, owning players terminology

Effective today, Yahoo Fantasy will begin retiring a few familiar terms from our content and games, toward the goal of maintaining an inclusive platform. You'll find that gamevplay at Yahoo will not change at all; we've simply eliminated language that suggests ownership or commodification of athletes. Fantasy managers will no longer buy players via auction, but will instead pay them via a salary cap draft.
