Is this insane, or what? "ESPN has removed an announcer from its
broadcast of the University of Virginia’s
first football game next month because he has the same name as a Confederate
general memorialized in statues that are being taken down across the country.
The network
announced late Tuesday that the announcer, Robert Lee, a part-time employee who
calls about a dozen college football and basketball games a year for ESPN,
would no longer participate in the broadcast of the Sept. 2 game in
Charlottesville, Va., which became the center of violent clashes this month
during a white supremacist gathering."
Notice the photograph. Robert Lee is the one on the right. I'm not sure, but he looks Asian. He isn't Robert E. Lee. He's not a Confederate general. He didn't fight for the South in the Civil War.
If these sniveling babies can't tell the difference between a man with the common name of Robert Lee and a Southern hero revered by his troops over 150 years ago, we have even worse problems than we thought. What next, firing anyone named Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, Jackson, Davis? What about people with the last name White -- is that racist? How whiners like this can ever hold down a job or deal with real life problems is beyond me.
So get off Facebook and educate yourself, or get out of this country -- you're an embarrassment to us.
