It's not a hoax. ESPN has released an official statement describing their motives. We are through the looking glass on this one.
The page loads OK for me.
The Washington Times reported this too so apparently this isn’t a false story.
I hope they don’t have an up and coming young announcer named Stonewall Jackson.
I’m speechless.
They’ll probably replace him with that awful woman announcer.
Nothing on the ESPN site.

Traveler, USC's mascot, comes under scrutiny for having a name similar to Robert E. Lee's horse.
It's a horse. It doesn't even have the same name as Robert E. Lee's horse (the USC horse, Traveler, has one "l" in his name; Lee's horse, Traveller, had two "l"s.)
And the horse is...
... well, look. It's white.
OMG

It's unlikely ESPN would splash this on their website.
And I'm not sure how reliable that Twitter profile is.

I heard this guy was Swedish and used to work for Life magazine where he was known as the Swede Mister Lee of Life.
The story is true it was on Tucker tonight!!! This is out of control!!!!
In Korea, Lee as a surname is like Smith or Jones in English.
Fourth thread...
When his parents gave him a name which would benefit him in getting ahead in America little did they know they were branding him a racist/white supremacist!! It’s time for me to move somewhere more rational.
Lee is one of the most common names in Korea. It’s like smith or something. Every Korean Tom Dick and Harry is named Lee
Liberalism is a mental and moral disorder. I expect nothing less from them.
ESPN are leftist thugs. Do not watch or pay.
