UPDATE: ESPN ISSUES OFFICIAL STATEMENT:
“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. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”
In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.

They’re nuts. It’s off the UVA game.
Is this a joke? If this is real, we’ve crossed he rubicon into the world of insanity. Deep insanity. Our country might not be worth saving if this is what a sizeable portion of society thinks is a rational move.
Dunno. I really hope it’s E.
More corporate support for Antifa terrorist tactics.
Getting all these politicians and public figures on the record now
as supporting “violence against hateful ideas” is going to make
things much easier down the road.
I don’t know now if he really meant it but I sure did agree with George W. Bush
when he said “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.”
He should sue the hell out of them. It’s blatant descrimination.
This is fascism. Text book case.
And just who was it that made his name an "issue", you nitwits?
Good thing he’s not wearing the wrong gang colors.
I wanna hear him do the rebel yell
This is the sort of joke that we would make up to make fun of liberals, but it’s true! They’ve become a parody of themselves.
No wonder the Confederates lost the war! Instead of a Chinese general named Lee, they should have hired Sun Tzu! </racist sarc>
ESPN has gone FULL RETARD.
I thought the only rule ESPNazi had on appropriateness of names was a prohibition against broadcasting any South Carolina vs. Oregon State matchup (you have to think about it for a minute).
Could be a hoax. The blog that broke the story cannot be accessed. I’m getting a 503 ERROR.
Sue them on principle.
If true, the leftwing is so boiling over with hate...they have lost their marbles.
Seek help now.
Only ESPN is this stupid. In the process of trying not to offend one non-white group over a person’s name they offended another non-white group because of his name. I’m sure Mr and Mrs Lee weren’t thinking of naming their son after the general when they were coming up with his name you ESPN a-holes. Do you idiots realize how many Koreans have the last name of Lee. The liberal lunacy we all used to laugh about is now coming true. Good God what a country we have become because of the left!
