spacetoaster posted:What?!?! Name one (other than the guy we're talking about). its the second most common surname in korea alone its something like 15-20% of the entire population has a last name of Lee not to mention additional millions in america considering how first names always given as some common name when moving or being born in america, chances are basically certain there are more asian robert lee's than there are non asian ones

cda posted:I guess I'm not seeing what the big deal is, here. They didn't fire him. They didn't tell him he can never call another UVA game again. They just figured this week wasn't the week to remind people about Robert E. Lee when they're sitting down to watch some college football. And so far as we know, he agreed with that assessment. The article didnt say but hes been pulled from all 6 home games. And hes not making a giant deal out of it because hed like to remain employed.

It turns out the intensely dumb people are you and me and everyone else who posted in this thread assuming that they were trying to protect sensitive viewers instead of protecting the guy himself from being memed into oblivion.

Wait. People believe an ESPN executive who says they did "stupid thing" to protect an employee, and not the company itself from ridicule et cetera? Nobody here is naive enough to believe that kind of spin, yes?

xXAdmiralBekHarXx posted:Why are you so upset about this probably because in today's minefield you cant even change somebody's schedule based on their name as illogical as it might be and that like makes people realllllly butthurt which then tends to lead to things like "did you know that ..... commit over 50% of murders but we cant say that out loud for some reason its just loving demographics how do you fix a problem if youc ant even adknolwedgeawewaethtebasicsa!!" For real if Robert Lee commented on the UVA football game it'd be meme central but if he didnt it wouldnt but looks like they coudlnt pull a tiny switcharoo without it going to the press and now its probably going to be worse off
