I hope Lee lawyers up and files a massive discrimination lawsuit.
Keep in mind ESPN is owned by Disney.
The scale and scope of their lunacy is institutional.
They are a$$holes. I would sue their a$$es off and never have to work again my entire life. There is no justification for this!
Expect the Asians to be rioting in the streets.

Breathtakingly stupid.
Dan Bongino had an amazing rant about this a few minutes ago on Fox And Friends. Complete inanity! How long will it take for liberals to recognize their side is completely off the rails?
Did this Robert Lee refuse to take a knee during the national anthem or attack the country in some other way? I could see that upsetting them. If this guys name reminds viewers of Robert E Lee, and makes them think “the US sucks” that’s a good thing for ESPN, right?
There’s probably some rational reason for this:
1) It’s possible that the viewers ESPN has left are so stupid and ignorant of history that they think the civil war Lee is still alive and ESPN is giving him a platform to spout his anti-American ideas (like they do with Kaepernick, but those viewers like Kaepernick’s ideas).
2) Or maybe the name triggers ESPN employees and the company is concerned about law suits for microaggressions or workplace environment.
3) Or they realize the show won’t go well if the producer dives to a safe space under his desk every time the announcer’s name is mentioned.
4) Or maybe they just hate Asians and see an opportunity to remove him from a broadcast.
When reality overtakes parody you know the country’s in trouble.
I demand that the US immediately break off relations with all Asian countries unless or until they ban the surname Lee.
A new low for ESPN
ESPN should have its FCC license pulled for its monumental stupidity...
Rawsuit!
Chris Plante is getting lots of amusing mileage out of this story this morning.
The Left is isolating themselves with their kooky behavior and contortionist ideology and reasoning. They are digging their hole as fast as they can dig.
Lord, give them the strength to dig faster. Amen.
If this article is not satire, then the people at ESPN have lost their minds.

ESN insanity rules.
ESPN insanity rules.
I wasn’t aware Gen. Robert E. Lee was any part Chinese. The announcer is. I just can’t seem to match the resemblance. It must have been on his mother’s side.

Is Mark Jones one of the announcers at the UVA game? If so, they better remove him because he may remind people of Confederate General William “Grumble” Jones.
Watching any game on ESPN is why God invented the mute button.
