Wow crazy to think that an innocent person is being removed for having the same name as the confederate leader and it was ESPN's way to supposedly not incite another riot in Virginia according to the article.

Extremely Stupid Personnel Nitwits

The last time an innocent person was in hot water was because Hearst Television's Gerry Sandusky had to face threats over what the FOrmer Penn State coach faced.

Maybe if he went by Bob Lee most people wouldn't even notice.

ESPN already has one:

Plus Robert Lee is Asian would have been memes jokes for one hot minute on social media. ESPN made it a story by doing this overreaction by ESPN.

Now Gerry Sandusky of Hearst Television Baltimore responds to the latest Robert Lee Scandal at ESPN. And how an innocent person who happens to be a sports broadcaster can get dragged into a scandal.

ESPN is great with the names.
Anyone out there remember Anita Martini?

Well, I guess Disney's Goofy is still running things at ESPN.

If ESPN goes under or relocates, my childhood hometown will go down the crapper. Basically the whole city revolves around ESPN.

Update ESPN president defends the decision over Robert Lee

I really don't see ESPN pulling up stakes, Marc.

Dang now the ESPN President has responded again.

Update the Daily Beast is reporting that Clay Travis a Fox Sports Pundit who covered the Robert Lee/ ESPN "scandal" as the Infowars/ Alex Jones of Sports/talk. But the rest of the article discusses how Sports/Talk pundits and their PD's end up in a political position most notably when Michael Sam went to the NFL.

Just plain silly. Once again, the goal in online media is to increase clicks, and that's exactly what this story has done.
