Literally 5 seconds of Googling reveals the entirety of the story, namely that Lee was involved in the decision/nobody wanted to be made into retarded memes, but ended up Streisand-effecting themselves. http://www.snopes.com/2017/08/23/robert-lee-espn/

Probably gonna regret this but lol

He was "involved in the decision." Just like when my boss tells me to do something, and I "decide" to do it

Lol if you believe Snopes


Snopes is now 50% owned by an ad agency (Proper Media)

Snopes was founded by a husband and wife team who are now in the middle of a contentious divorce in which founder David Mikkelsen has been accused of embezzling $98,000 of company money to spend on “himself and prostitutes”.

Snopes has a hired team of suspect fact checkers who collaborate to debunk falsehoods that are trending on the internet.

These fact checkers reportedly have no editorial oversight and do not follow standard journalistic procedures.

Snopes doesn’t have a formal screening process for hiring fact checkers and for evaluating applicants for any potential conflicts of interest.

Since 2016, the Snopes founders decided to go political and immediately tried to curry favor with the media establishment while pushing their own political agenda.

He's calling other games. He's still working exactly the same amount.

I think it would have been less of a thing if they just let him do his job normally and this is either a really stupid decision or some furious backpeddling. Probably the former really, but either way very dumb.
