What did (((ESPN))) mean by this?

>it's real
what is wrong with people

>>77761418
This is some funny shit, someone posted it earlier today.

Turns out the announcer actually pulled himself so as not to cause a "distraction."

What a smug asshole he must be

>>77761500
I was thinking that's what he did but I didn't think anyone would be that stupid. I can guarantee there's no one in the US that cares. There's like 5 guys i know named Jefferson Davis and they aren't sweating anything.

Wasn't there some commentator named George Zimmerman who got harassed the fuck out of during the fallout from the ZimZam's trial? To me, doesn't seem like too much of a stretch for some dude to ask for a reassignment so as not to get caught in the idiot crossfire of leftists shrieking about anything and everything related to the Confederacy

>>77761749
Well people won't harass a sport commentator named like a general who died centuries ago, right ?

>>77761874

No, his bosses pressured him, and he was in no position to refuse.

I know 6 guys named Adolf Hitler and they don't give a fuck, announcing sporting events all day.

They pulled Robert Lee off a broadcast?

Boy, I sure wish there was a Confederate general named [least favorite announcer].

>>77763271
You obviously haven't been paying attention to what they've been doing over the past few years. They purposefully went full-on SJW.

Most companies nowadays are full on SJW because they think they'll get $$$ from it. Guarantee all the board votes boomer-tier conservacucks

Nobody knows who Robert Lee is or what he did.

question for amerisharts: why are suddenly the statues the go-to and hot cake of the day in america? how come no one touched them during king nigger's 8 years?

Asians are now fair game as well. Join us yellow man and fight the good fight.

>>77763642
Because it's all manufactured. If the Ferguson and Baltimore riots happened under Trump the media would have prolonged it much more. Under Obama they tried to sweep it under the rug and never blame Obama for it (despite under Obama race relations have deteriorated and are worse than Jim Crow days in many aspects).Obama was THE worst president to have ever graced this nation in the last century because his legacy is more hatred amongst Americans and he couldn't even get shit done (Gitmo remains open, he never ended the wars, and his corportist healthcare laws are going either to be repealed or flat out crash because of unsustainability).

and people STILL wonder why hitler hated (((media))) so much, they lie about things that happened yesterday, imagine the lies they told in the 20s and 30s when there was no social media and smartphones. eternal liars and deceivers.

It would have been a stupid internet meme and a few hundred people would have thought it quirky or at worst in bad taste. So they just moved him to a different game. This is a non-story. There is no controversy here.

>>77763271
get raped faggot

>>77763726
Are you really this brainwashed? Tribalism got us into this mess, it's not going to get us out of it. Obama wasn't even the worst President of the past 15 years, much less ever. You are either historically ignorant or politically ignorant.

This is how you take a good idea and make it ridiculous. This is no better than the tranny bathroom bullshit.

This is how the Left lost the last election. Stupidity.

>>77763849
>in bad taste

But why tho? Lee is a common asian name. There's no reason to even cater to the crazies on Twitter. Social media was a mistake.

now we need to convince the world that there was a confederate general named Jessica Mendoza

>>77763903
They didn't want to make any connections at all to the VA events, and having a commentator named Robert Lee might have done that. The irony is that now that game will certainly be slathered in political connotations now that they've done this and it's public knowledge. Streisand Effect and all that.

you're onto something. This is a classic publicity move.

this is the first time it dawned on me that Robert E Lee was a white guy named Lee. How did white guys get named Lee?

Kek, he just didn't want to watch a UVA football game.

His bosses "asked" if he thought it would be inconvenient... and as we know, multibillion dollar corporations have a discrete and apologizing way of "suggesting" things to their employees.

Even in the ESPN shill press release, they said they bought the idea up to him. There's two possible responses:

1. He said yes because when you're a new employee, you don't say no when a bunch of suits asks you to do something.

2. He said ye, because while a silly idea in the first place, it really doesn't matter which c-tier game you call, as long as you're getting paid.

Let's just sit back and enjoy how ESPN managed to turn an effort to avoid 20 minutes of angry twitter barking into a full blown shitstorm.

Fuck, this season is going to suck. All the announcers are going to play up these "controversial" statues at these schools/states.

NFL anthem "protests" are going to be in so many games now. I'm not watching any games live at all.

>>77773535
But you're supposed to love politics being forcibly injected into an apolitical sport.

it's coincidental, Lee is an anglo/scottish name while Lee (whatever the Chinese character is) is a super common Han Chinese family name. It makes it funny to me that the etymology is completely different

they guy was clearly a nazi and has no business being on tv

Leaking the story was very mean to that guy desu
