You fucking pathetic mentally ill scum, will nothing shame you?



ESPN pulls Asian-American announcer from Virginia football game because he has a Confederate general's name
Fox News
August 22, 2017

In the wake of the events in Charlottesville, Va., ESPN decided to pull one of its announcers from calling a University of Virginia football game -- because his name is Robert Lee.

Lee, an Asian-American sportscaster who started with the network in 2016, was moved to a different game "simply because of the coincidence of his name," ESPN said, referencing the Confederate general Robert E. Lee.

On Aug. 12, violence broke out at a protest from a white-nationalist group opposing the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville. A driver ultimately rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring more than a dozen other people, police said.

ESPN, which has faced accusations of liberal bias that some observers believe has led to a downtick in viewership, said it moved its announcer to the Youngstown State game at Pittsburgh.

Nobody would've cared or even made the connection had ESPN not turned this into a political stunt.

This is nothing more than the cheapest and lowest levels of advertisement.

ESPN never misses an opportunity to exploit a crisis. Really unfortunate because when I tune into sports it's because I don't want to hear about politics but yet they've gone waaaay out of their way to do just that.

Let's look at this another way and pretend ESPN is on the up and up. It's total bullshit that it's anything but a political stunt by the network but to keep things fair we'll pretend this is a legit deal...

Is an Asian American sports announcer, who's name happens to be Robert Lee, so much of a trigger for the lefties that just a name could start them rioting?

Think about that for a second. It has to be a new low for liberals. A fucking random ass name that has zero relation to the Civil War General warrants a lineup change on a sports network for fear it might hurt someone's feelings, or worse, disrupt a college football game and possibly cause violence.

Dafuk is wrong with people? We are fucking doomed as a country if people applaud ESPN for this shit.
