ESPN Pulls a Sports Reporter Named Robert Lee From Announcing a UVA Football Game

Posted on 08/22/2017 6:00:31 PM PDT by BenLurkin

If Outkick's reports are true, then the left has officially reached peak idiocy. No, strike that – they reached it, decided it wasn’t quite idiotic enough, and built a tower out of their own unused brain cells on which they could climb to even loftier heights of idiocy. That’s where we’re at.

Outkick the Coverage’s Clay Travis reports Lee – again, not a 210-year-old dead Confederate general – has been moved to Youngstown State at Pittsburgh game, where he won’t run the risk of hurting anyone’s feelings with the snowflake-melting power of his name. A guy named Dave Weekley, who has the great fortune of not sharing the same first and last name as a dead Confederate general, will now call the William and Mary at University of Virginia game.

Let’s just get one thing straight here: if you’re honestly so offended by the mere whisper of anything that could possibly remind you of something that so much as sounds “confederate” in nature that you get your panties in a twist because the dude announcing your Saturday afternoon sports entertainment happens to be named Robert Lee, please go jump off a cliff.

Seriously. Just get a good running start, and aim for the moon. Because you’re taking oxygen from the rest of us.

Just when you think we’ve hit bottom - the loony left lowers the bar.

It really does look like the world is in some kind of death spiral.

He looks like a confederate to me. And note the smile — probably an American patriot, to compound the offense.

That’s nothing Baraq Ubama’s middle name couldn’t be mentioned during the 2008 election.

They have gone so insane now that they need to be removed from the streets, and put in nut houses for their own protection.

Maybe it is end-times madness after all. In that case, lets get it done! This place is just plain insane. Help! I’ve been put on the wrong planet!

Someone should mention he is Japanese and his people hate America.

The left will explode by the irresolvable non sequitur.

if they are so offended, why do they even cover the game, considering the history of these schools?

I would really love it if Roberts middle name was Edward.

He should change his last name to Li. That would mess them up.

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that ESPN is so infested with dumb jocks that they have lost touch with reality. This is a prime example of why they should ignore politics and concentrate on sports—period.
