"IM A VICTIM IM A VICTIM!!!" "YOU'RE A RACIST, NO YOU'RE A RACIST!!!"....
We now live in a day and age where most people are so sensitive and delicate that even sharing a similar name with an alleged racist who died almost 150 years ago will get you booted out of your career...
An Asian-American sportscaster for ESPN by the name of "Robert Lee" was pulled from a University of Virginia football game because his name is similar to the famous confederate army general "Robert E. Lee" and ESPN did not want to offend their delicate snowflake audience so they pulled him from the broadcast...
“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,” ESPN said in a statement to Outkick the Coverage on Tuesday.
Lee, the commentator, had been due to cover the game between William and Mary and the University of Virginia on September 2.
ESPN’s decision comes after 32 year old Heather Heyer was killed when a car plowed into a group of counter protesters at a recent ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Sorry to say anyone with a name resembling an ancient racist you're better off legally renaming yourself to "Buttercup" to preserve your career...
Our prayers and positive vibes go out to the familes and victims of the horrible acts in Charlottesville, Virginia.
