>According to the popular college-football blog Outkick the Coverage, ESPN pulled an Asian announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game. The announcer’s name is Robert Lee.

>Citing “multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN,” Mr. Lee was pulled from the Cavaliers Sept. 2 game in Charlottesville against William and Mary “because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.”

how do i watch college football without giving espn my money? This might actually be the impetus I have to cancel my cable. Im tired of giving these people who control what i see every money. i dont even watch most tv anymore because all it does is demonize me and make me depressed. Im sorry i ruined the world by being a white male who enjoys his nuclear family.

>The network's full statement: “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.”

It's hilarious because the guy's an Asian, which makes MSESPN look racist for criticizing Asian Americanized names. All Asians do this. They pick an easy to pronounce first name (remember English is not their first language usually). A guy like Robert Lee eventually becomes a good Engrish speaker, but you see this all the time. I work with a lot of Koreans and Thais and 99% of them do this because their birthnames are so fucking stupid in English that it just doesn't work.

Lots of Pauls, Roberts, Toms, Johns, Sarahs, Michelles, Amys, etc.

>and your game today (in charlottesville that is full of rioting niggers) is Robert Lee
yeah...ESPN made the right move

you faggots are blowing this out of proportions, he wasn't FIRED, he wasn't out of work because of it, he was paid and asked to do a different game somewhere else. it happens ALL the fucking time

I used to call games for my college, but when it was going to be televised, they asked us to vacate the booth so pros could come in, it's the same thing except he got travel pay included.

>>77765300

I don't think anyone would have even made the connection. He's a fucking Asian guy. It's UVA football. He's a broadcaster.

None of that shit relates to the confederate army.

The only reason its an issue is because ESPN made it an issue.

>people wouldn't have memed the hell out of it being Robert Lee in Charlottesville

if he's not speaking Korean/Chinese how are they to know he's asian? I've known plenty of asians who grew up in the south and have a country accent

and no, apparently you fail to read things; ESPN DIDN'T release this, because they were trying to protect him. someone who wanted to cause a ruckus released this information to try to stir the pot

In a few years when their contracts with various leagues start running out and Disney doesn't put any more bids cuz it's a failing network, ESPN will be to sports what MTV is to music.
>>
>>77765684
They'd know because the announcers are given a bit of screentime throughout the game. Weird right?
