The leftist nitwits who, like a colony of termites have infested ESPN over the past decade, actually did announce that they were denying Mr. Lee his gig as play-by-play announcer for the University of Virginia’s season opening football game because his name is the same as the Confederate general, Robert E. Lee. ESPN’s leadership made that announcement proudly, obviously in the belief that they are just the bestest people in the world for being so “sensitive” and for not wanting to trigger all the snowflake students at UVA, who, after all, might well otherwise think that their football game was being called by a 200 year-old leader of the South. From what I've observed recently, students as well as faculty at UVA might actually believe it.
Truth in advertising: Mrs. Bears is a UVA graduate, and she's pretty disgusted with them.
1- Robert Lee at ESPN should sue ESPN for hurting his career and he only agreed to the assignment switch for fear of losing his job at a network that has laid off many, especially conservatives.
2-Video of the night was the Protester taken out by a tear gas can to the gonads. Picture is worth 1,000 words, and that one image might be the tipping point that changes opinion of Antifa.
