So what if he was a player? Throw him out of the stadium? Throw a flag? Ignore other players trying to injure him?

Stalin would love these big thinkers.

Millions and one come morning.

The freaking guy is Asian, so if our friends are any indication its actually "Li".

But, yep, first name Robert, last name rhymes with Lee, time to yank him.

We have lost out collective f$#%ing minds.

I'm sure that discriminating against an Asian guy because of his name is just fine according to CBS.

there's a catch-22 to that if you lose.....

regardless, it becomes, "now what do I do?" you basically blackball yourself by filing suit......

now if the ACLU were to spear head the suit????......nawwwwwwwwwwww, that ain't gonna happen with this one 03-wink

this issue is simply inane ....

Sounds like discrimination against a common Asian name.
