August 23, 20179 yr So ESPN just announced they have removed one of their football play by play announcers from doing the Virginia Football game because of what happened in Charlottesville. All because his name is Robert Lee. Oh, btw, he is Asian. ESPN has gotten so bad anymore that they are tough to watch.
August 23, 20179 yr That's an image thing. The screen cap of the announcers' names would be the subject of 10 million jokes on Twitter. ESPN doesn't want to have their logo at the end of a bunch of Tweets. I really believe that's all this is.

August 23, 20179 yr Assuming you are right exactly what world are we living in? A strange one for sure. Social media rules this world.
August 23, 20179 yr Assuming you are right exactly what world are we living in? One in which the protection of corporate branding and image is paramount.
August 23, 20179 yr One in which the protection of corporate branding and image is paramount. That slope is even more dangerous. We don't want Corporations in Charge.
August 23, 20179 yr Author ESPN needs to stick to sports. They have gotten so political lately. I will never forget Mike and Mike saying on heir radio show just last year that they refused to talk politics on their show but that didn't last. Now they can't keep themselves from talking about Kapernicks views and a lot other political topics. That show has jumped the shark also. Used to really enjoy it, not anymore. I find it hypocritical that they pull their announcer because they didn't want to come off as racist but the announcer is Asian American. Sorry espn but that's a swing and a miss.

I used to love ESPN but these days I like getting my sports from NBC and Fox.
August 23, 20179 yr Too late. I know right. We all witnessed the only example we need when United took their seat back from the Doctor from Kentucky.

Just another case of snobs believing the average Joe is too stupid too understand anything.
August 23, 20179 yr Kind of like schools that are named Lynch, they have lost their names now. Lynch elementary schools will lose the 'Lynch' due to racial implications | OregonLive.com Too politically correct? Board drops 'Lynch' from school names | Fox News Its a wonder Loretta Lynch was ever picked as Att General.
