Idiocy continues

[Jon Estes]

ESPN pulls UVA football announcer from duties because of his name... HIS NAME...

Robert Lee will not be announcing games at UVA because his name is too controversial.

Robert Lee is Asian... people.

Stupid left.

Then there's Senator Contrail...it doesn't get any better than this.

Yeah, but it's gotta stop. Robert Lee is a common name for lots of people living today. For any of them to lose employment because of their name is a far greater injustice than any number of statues. To the extent that "the left" contributes to it, that's wrong. But of course it wasn't a decision by "the left" in any meaningful sense, and Dave's humor was well taken. It is indeed a Mickey Mouse decision,

From what I read there had been death threats if Lee covered the game at UVA. If true, you can hardly blame ESPN or Lee himself for wanting to send him elsewhere, and (again from what I've read) apparently his new assignment was also a step up in some ways.
