🏈 "MSESPN Pulls Asian Announcer Named Robert Lee Off UVa Game To Avoid Offending Idiots.

Sounds reasonable? So now being offended by someone's name can **** that person over for life? The guy's name isn't Adolf Hitler or something along those lines. To me it's discrimination to the highest degree. I'd sue the **** out of ESPN, and if the ACLU and Civil Liberties folks don't get on it it'll clearly show the corruption of everything media related. And also, the way the media is reporting is that Robert E. Lee is a figure they are bothered with on a daily basis, so technically this poor guy can never go on the air again because he may offend some poor soul out there as it may bring about PTSD.

I think this post speaks for itself.

I choose to take ESPN for their written word, although I fully understand why some will question their motives. I have plenty of issues with ESPN, this just isn't one of them.

. I have a sneaky suspicion if you are as smart as you think you are, you wouldn't be on this forum.

What?

I'm gonna give ol' Robert E. some credit here, based on the ESPN mindset he is responsible for the second most common surname and 7.6 million people in South Korea. :shock: :devil:

Wait. I think I was just insulted and I wasn't even part of the disagreement.

What?

How often do you see geniuses on internet forums, specifically college football ones? Exactly, rarely to basically never. So someone calling the rest of us simpletons must be a genius or something along the lines of one, so I made a point to question why he was on here if he was so much smarter than everyone else.

Ha, I get what you're saying, but it was more of a sarcastic remark to the self proclaimed smartest guy in the room after calling us simpletons for having an opinion. Shoukd have articulated better, my bad.

I frequent message forums regularly, specifically college football ones... your argument officially debunked.

Appears that Robert opted for a different game.

Meanwhile, in other lunacy, a student group at USCw has called the white horse mascot for the school a racist symbol since the horse has the same name as Robert E. Lee's horse.

So when do these racist labels apply to all the schools with Indian related mascots...

As they do each Saturday, the early morning SC touches on games all around the nation. As expected, one of those is the VA game today.

Now, instead of focusing on the game itself (despite multiple comments of it being best to play the game and give the community time to put it behind them...if for only a day) they spent the entire segment on the events three weeks ago--not on the game today.

NOW...

Can you image the line, "Let's go to Robert Lee in VA for more on the riots to tear down the ..."

Yeah, that's got meme written all over it.
