ESPN pulls Asian-American announcer from Virginia football game because he has a Confederate general's name.

So now that you know it didn't actually happen do you'guys feel like idiots?
By the way who can say if the threats made on his life came from a Lib or a Chickenshit conservative? Them Libs normally show up shooting with no warning don't they? LOL I guess you would have rather him be put in harms way since he was a minority and it would further your agenda if he did get shot. Originally Posted by MT Pockets

ESPN confirmed Tuesday night that it had decided to pull an announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. This Robert Lee is Asian.

“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties,” reads the ESPN statement posted at the popular Fox Sports college-football blog Outkick the Coverage.

This lunacy takes away from the real issue of racism.

While doing what ever we can to combat it is good, doing things like taking a guy off a broadcast because of his name only gives it more fuel, not less. It makes it a punch line of a joke. Originally Posted by grean

Come on, even you hard-core lefties have to be somewhat embarrassed about this PC over-reach.

I always knew the idiots at ESPN were a bunch of morons, but now they've slipped on into #FAKENEWSCNN territory. We have officially arrived at peak stupid on the left.

And this is why ESPN IS forbidden to be on in my house.

Did you know he was even a "moderator"?

"ESPN, which has faced accusations of liberal bias that some observers believe has led to a downtick in viewership, said it moved its announcer to the Youngstown State game at Pittsburgh."

If they thought there was a "downtick" before ... hide and watch! Originally Posted by LexusLover

To "protect him from ridicule" they subjected him to ridicule.

Had they kept quiet we wouldn't even be posting/talking about it.

I wonder why you left Clay Davis out of this. It was a based on a mutual decision by all party's The your boy Clay made a shit storm out of it. I love the comment on the Onion about how he was worried his credentials were suspended. You really are a sad man.

First off, M T Brain Socket, it wasn't my OP, but I understood from the OP that ESPN did pull an announcer from reporting a game because that reporter's name was "Robert Lee" and that ESPN justified that decision by saying they were afraid of some kind of backlash from lib-retarded thugs on the left, M T Brain Socket.

Then your lame, stupid-ass came in here and said none of that happened!

So, M T Brain Socket, in your attempt to dishonestly reframe the narrative you were proved to be either a sad and pathetic liar or a sad, pathetic and brainwashed jackass who is oblivious to everything remotely related to the truth, M T Brain Socket.

Unplug Rachel Madcow and move quickly away from the lame-stream media, M T Brain Socket. You're obviously suffering from lib-retard Kool Aid syndrome, M T Brain Socket.

So when I made comments about why and how it happened you somehow thought I was saying it did not happen? My comment was to the folks that thought he was out of a job because of his name. They as in ESPN and Robert Lee felt it was safer to quietly rotate him out of the spot. But you rednecks could not keep your mouth shut and had your boy run a spin on what actually happened. That is what put the shit storm in motion. Clown! Your team would rather Put Robert Lee at risk than to just shut the fuck up for 10 minutes. I guess since he is Asian he is expendable in your eyes.
