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.

It DID happen, you fucking IDIOT!

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.

Okay, so there are dumb people and then there is you. Why in the fuck would you call me a liar and post an article confirming what I just said? You are the dumbest of the dumb and there is some dumb motherfuckers here so you should get a prize. Almost every time you respond to me its the same thing with you. I am always torn if you are that stupid or just like to fuck with me. Anyhow back to the point. He was not fired end of story.

One thing we can do to curb racism that might be good, is to stop fucking talking about it so much.

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

An Asian named Robert Lee get pulled from announcing cuz his name might offend some low I.Q. libtard.

Liberals will never be embarrassed about any of their stupidity.

Especially when you take the name Lee in Chineese culture is as COMMON as Smith is here.
And this is why ESPN IS forbidden to be on in my house.

If they thought there was a "downtick" before ... hide and watch!

Maybe if we all turn them off, they will get the frikken hint.

If anyone ever has any doubts: See "ESPN"

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.

Yeah, those unintended consequences always get in the way.

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.

You'd be lying again, M T Brain Socket. You said ESPN didn't pull the announcer because of his name, M T Brain Socket.

[nevergaveitathought]

the news media already straightened trump out on him calling both sides violent in Charlottesville
