Good day all. The latest in politically correct stupidity has arrived and ESPN<\/a>, (Entertainment and Sports Programming Networks), has shown just how stupid they are. They removed a sports announcer because he had the last name of \u201cLee\u201d and as we all know, anyone with that last name is RACIST!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The person who was pulled from calling a college game happens to be named Robert Lee. He\u2019s also Asian. Here\u2019s what\u2019s going on from The Washington Times<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Apparently, even being Asian doesn\u2019t mean people won\u2019t take you for being a white nationalist. ESPN confirmed Tuesday night that it had decided to pull an announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. This Robert Lee is Asian. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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,\u201d reads the ESPN statement posted at the popular Fox Sports college-football blog Outkick the Coverage. <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

No, it felt right to a pack of racist politically correct and cowardly Proglodytes. The general disbelief quickly hit the internet.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid I mention that Robert Lee is Asian?\u201d wrote disbelieving blogger Clay Travis, who first broke the story, citing \u201cmultiple Outkick fans inside ESPN.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mr. Lee had been scheduled to call a game in Charlottseville against William and Mary. I don\u2019t follow college sports and don\u2019t even have ESPN set up on Dish receivers. To be honest, if the Especially Stupid Political Nitwits had just done nothing, no one would have noticed or cared about Mr. Lee. But NOOOO!! ESPN had to fully activate the Streisand Effect.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 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,\u201d ESPN said in its statement. <\/b><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until you morons put your foot deeply into it. Needless to say, people are now going after ESPN with a passion.<\/p>\n

That wasn\u2019t the \u201cshame\u201d Mr. Travis had in mind, ridiculing the sports-network leviathan for political correctness, calling it \u201cMSESPN.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThey were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers,\u201d he wrote. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There, how\u2019s that for offending the Antifa thugs and the precious snowflakes who support them?<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there anything more pathetic than ESPN believing people would be offended by an Asian guy named Robert Lee sharing a name with Robert E. Lee and calling a football game? Aside from some hysterical photoshops and Internet memes which would make everyone with a functional brain laugh \u2014 Robert E. Lee pulling out all the stops to stay in Charlottesville now! \u2014 what was the big fear here? Does ESPN really believe people are this dumb or that having an Asian announcer named Robert Lee is too offensive for the average TV viewer to handle?\u201d Mr. Travis asked rhetorically. <\/b><\/p>\n

We all know the answer, but I\u2019ll let Mr. Travis tell the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes they do,\u201d he answered. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This story exploded overnight and I first saw it this morning. Everyone is blasting ESPN for their utterly idiotic reasoning. They have shown that they are fully on board with censoring or banning people simply due to their name. In this they join a group of incredibly stupid college students<\/a> who want to ban the name \u201cLynch.\u201d I think it\u2019s time to replace the entire management team at ESPN and put people in place who\u2019s sole job is to put on shows that deal with sports. Gee, wouldn\u2019t that be an original idea?<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
