Does DisneyESPN think he culturally appropriated the name?

Another milepost on the road to national suicide.

This has to be the Onion—I mean if Mr. Lee is triggering the snowflakes when he covers one football game why wouldn’t he be triggering the snowflakes if he covers a different game.

I must be a white fascist because I can’t figure this stuff out... :-)

The idiots probably did, totally ignoring that this is his family name

I guess since we have micro aggressions we can now have micro triggers, i.e., any little thing sets them off.

>>Robert Lee

Laundry customer: “How did you get your clothes so clean, Mr. Lee?”

Laundry operator: “Ancient Chinese secret!”

His wife: “My husband. Some hotshot! Here’s his ancient Chinese secret...Calgon!”

My solution? Mr. Lee should change his professional name to Sum Ting Wong.

I think it’s great! More and more people are beginning to understand there really is a disease called liberalism.

I rarely watch sports, when I do it is more typically when I am at a stadium once or twice a year.

I have ZERO use for “sports talk” tv networks or “24 hour sports talk” radio stations (several in my city on the AM band as I spin the dial to get to the “news” focused talk).

They are like Howard Stern without the humor, music guests, or history in radio.

They have to keep talking about SOMETHING and stats talk only gets you so far.

Just change the last name from Lee to Li. The libs will have to support an ASIAN-American. His family name probably originally was Li, but was Americanized to assimilate. This is what assimilation does for you in the USA? The bigots become well-defined don’t they?

Li! Great idea. Since Trump, liberals (and their organizations, metaphorically) are jumping up and down screaming “here I am, I’m an idiot, look at me!!!”

considering who the defendant would be, I’m sure Mr. Lee is smiling knowing that he will be on the receiving end of a few hundred thousand dollar settlement from ESPN
