Like the headline says, ESPN pulls announcer from a UVA football game because the guy was named "Robert Lee". First off, the elephant in the room-the dude is not Robert E Lee, the Confederate leader from the US Civil War. In fact, the dude is Asian. So, in order to be politically correct and in order to embrace the latest radical chic, ESPN offends Asian-Americans and frankly, common sense.
ESPN is in a tailspin, and in order to recover it seems like they are embracing the hard left social justice warrior movement. It's not working very well for them-they are still losing money. Part of the reason they are losing money is just because it's 2017-when I want sports scores I can check my phone. Another part is that they are alienating a large amount of their fanbase by trying to shove political correctness down our throat. I'm not saying that sports fans aren't pc-many of them surely are-but we watch sports to escape from current events. ESPN doesn't seem to understand that world we live in today.
