It's not so much about people being offended as much as people have a pretty high level of mockery on social media (myself included)... and we know that's exactly what would happen. Something to the effect of "Robert Lee on ESPN at UVA" would be trending the entire day and become the story itself.

Oh please stop your bleeding liberal heart.

This young announcer was assigned to an INTERNET ONLY Streaming Broadcast for this Div I-AA opponent vs UVA (maybe worst Div I-A team this year) that only the ball boys' parents would have watched.

Even 98% of all your liberal pals are laughing at ESPN (heck, ESPN's own Dan Le Batard, believe the only ESPN to dare mention this story had a great comment about what ESPN should have done):

Said ESPN should have PROMOTED this "internet only" broadcast and told the world that this young Syracuse Grad named Robert Lee was doing the broadcast...and if, IF, any snowflake dared to pretend outrage over it, he said ESPN could have answered these whines with 2 words:

HE'S ASIAN (and drop mic)

Thank you again for proving just how far from reality you think the world is and/or should be.

My response thought as well, just didn't have time to articulate.

Beyond stupid, if that failed program wanted to get a .02 on the meter, leave robert lee there.

Maybe someone would cover it.

I can't take credit for that as it was probably Dan's only intelligent comment I've heard him speak in years.

Another great comment was from Jayson Whitlock of FS1 who noted the hypocrisy of ESPN:

(paraphrase): Multiple ESPN Shows and Analysts/anchors have cheerleadered for almost a year about the Kaepernick situation and how it was too bad that some NFL Owners/GMs felt it would be "bad for business" if they signed Kaep and had to deal with all the "online vitriol/hate, etc..." and that Kaep should be signed anyway...and be damned if it brought after bad times to that particular team and to the entire league.

Yet, when it was ESPN's turn, they felt it would be "bad for their business" if Robert Lee did an internet only broadcast at UVA vs a Div I-AA team...as ESPN admitted they didn't want to deal with the online feedback/heckling, etc...

Funny how ESPN could do what they felt was better for their business but not the teams in the NFL? Why the double standard ESPN?

After finally being able to pull away Ron Burgundy from his leather bound books, after being told of ESPN's decision, this well respected newsman finally weighs in after hearing the latest ESPN blunder:

They pay airhead Michelle Beadle 1.3 mil a year. ESPN is so far over the top I have not watched anything except live events for years.

I've read articles listing the number, when you total all the hate groups combined, of just over 300K in membership. Do the math. We have 300 million living in this country. Sorry but I'm far more afraid of the far left groups who do perpetrate violence when attempting to silence those who disagree with them.

White Nationalist groups have been around as long as the country has been a country. You didn't hear much from them because everyone ignored them. They want, they STRIVE for the type of attention they are getting, from you and those who live their lives in full out TDS.

Trump's core support group is actually rather small. Yet he got 63 million votes. Why do you think that is? Hint, ESPN's action in regards to this announcer is one of the reasons. Sane, every day American's are embarrassed by the SJW, far Left, politically correct crowd. The fact that so many of them feel that free speech only includes speach they agree with is frightening. Oh, and since your response will be something along the lines of, "Trump is going to ruin the country because he is...". People like me survived Jimmy Carter and the 70s. We were around in the late 60s and we recall Nixon resigning in 70s. The country was in a very bad place, economically we were a disaster. Socially the country was divided more then it is today. Yet somehow the Republic survived. Just like we will survive Trump.

This is how I know you are a terrible person. You think you had to survive a man who in his 90's is still building houses for the homeless like he was some evil person. F you and your horrible ideas of what is and isn't actually terrible to live through.

Grow up. You obviously are too young to remember the Carter years. 8% unemployment, 18% inflation, hours long gas lines, hostages in Iran, wear a sweater.... Worst president since Buchanan. Carter is a wonderful man, but even more horrible as president than he is good as a human being.

You forgot the lovely 20% interest rates.

Try buying a house or a car on that.

You could actually get a loan or credit card?
I know I couldn't get a credit card at any rate.

No, Carter Admin I was still in elementary and middle school, but I remember it all very well (news nerd alert).

I will credit him indirectly with my serial entrepreneurship and helping to get my first "business" off the ground- Selling apples, peaches, water and sodas in the sweltering Summer heat to those on odd/even days sitting in hours long gas lines in their V-8's, no A/C (burned too much extra fuel, or not equipped), with exhaust clouds filling the road 2 feet off the ground.

Friend Tom and I each made around 300 bucks that Summer. Good Gig! Beat mowing lawns for 2$ apiece...
