ESPN has removed an Asian announcer from a football game because his name is Robert Lee


He was Hung before and the penis jokes made it Hard for him to do his work.

He probably pronounces his last name "Ree" anyway.

I can't figure out who fricking whines more. Liberals or conservatives

Everyone cries about everything

Conservatives are really the snowflakes of the modern generation. My god what a bunch of babies

And this thing is so stupid. People can't reconcile a historical anti-American pro slavery leader with a Asian college football announcer with the last name lee

Jesus.

So it's come out now that ESPN didn't move him.

ESPN asked if he would like to be reassigned and he said yes due to safety reasons, and ESPN accommodated him.

According to an ESPN executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, ESPN asked Lee if he would be more comfortable calling another game but gave him the option to stay. Lee chose to switch assignments, and ESPN accommodated him.

Big deal. They didn't fire him, they switched him to a different game. I mean its silly in some ways but play by play guys get moved around all the time.

Besides be frickin thankful they did, now we won't hear a bad and poorly timed Robert Lee joke during the broadcast.
