ESPN pulls announcer from calling U. of Virginia game because his name is Robert Lee

Not a joke and this needed its own thread lol.

We knew ESPN was liberal, but you won’t believe what they’ve done now

"ESPN has pulled an Asian-American announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. This is not a joke."

Man we have this habit of screwing over Asian people in order to combat racism.

In case anyone is saying "No, this can't be true", alas...a statement directly from ESPN, that is as perplexing as ever:

“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.”

Notice the last sentence, even though they are the only people who made this an issue lol.

Is ESPN known for being liberal? What else have they done that makes you think they're liberal?

Obviously this is a ridiculous thing they're doing.

Sadly, ESPN is dipping it's toes in politics. It's been for awhile. Sensationalism, controversy, that stuff gives them a new market. It's what it is. Kinda wish Chris Berman was back.

Don't know, that title isn't made up by me, I copied and pasted it from the article.

Remember a study was done that showed their politics totally didn't have any negative impact on ESPN.

The study was done by ESPN, lol.

With the way this country is these days the guys over at The Onion are probably worried they will be out of a job soon.

Sounds like a story out of the book "When dumb meets stupid."

This is the best news story of the year. See what letting liberals and cuck republicans rule the country for decades has done?

I just love how they were all "it sucks this had to become an issue" after nobody but them made it one. Even its own employees are making fun of it. There is an emmy winning sports anchor named "Bob Ley" at ESPN lol. He tweets:

"Rather worried my employee ID/pass may not admit me in the AM. Life, as scripted by @OnionSports."

Owned.

It's how stupid symbolism has gotten. Now if anything even remotely resembles any ties to anything ever done to a human in a negative way ever, it must be removed. lol
