ESPN broadcaster Robert Lee will not work Virginia’s season opener because of recent violence in Charlottesville sparked by the decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

The absolute lunacy of the left knows no bounds.

I was sure this was from The Onion.

[Mr. K]

To prove they were not racists against Asians they replaced him with Ho Lee Fuk.

[Carl Vehse]

The maniacal insanity of the left (another ‘dark force’) is expanding faster than the universe is expanding.

[Nateman]

I worked for a Bruce Lee once. He was not Asian, he was related to Robert E lee!

[cgbg]

Mr. Lee should start every broadcast by waving his middle finger at the camera.

Then he should say: “OK, now I have offended everyone. Let’s play ball!”

[Raycpa]

They have low opinion of their viewer’s intellect.

[equaviator]

The scale and scope of their lunacy is institutional.

[Mr. K]

To prove they were not racists against Asians they replaced him with Ho Li Phuk.

[Spok]

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Fiction has to be plausible.

[WKUHilltopper]

What retardation...

[CAluvdubya]

Soooooo, I’m going with the “it has to get so obviously ridiculous before it will be exposed and get better” response to this lunacy.

[GreyFriar]

the Dems ought to tell Sheila Jackson Lee to quit Congress or change her name.

[bray]

They care more than you do so they are good people and you are not.

[Lionheartusa1]

,,,,,, if his last name were Byrd it would have been just fine .

[riverdawg]

And their viewers, the few who are left, have an even lower opinion of ESPN’s collective intellect.

[RummyChick]

Yeah...he looks like a white racist...

Idiots

[jmaroneps37]

The joke here is that Robert Lee is probably a devoted liberal or he wouldn’t have gotten the job to begin with.

[cdcdawg]

ESPN is to the left of CNN. It’s run by globalists, like most other mainstream media outlets.
