ESPN can go choke on a bag of fake dicks. Haven't watched any of their shit programming in years after they wanted to inject their political opinion into something that shouldn't have politics in it.

There are no words for how strong the stupid is on this one.

Whats next, they can't use the word "balls" so they dont offend women?




Don't weep for the stupid, or you will be crying all day

Anybody wanna argue the inmates aren't running the asylum now? This is simply insane, and apparently no one in charge sees it.

Blatant discrimination. I hope they get sued and have to shut down.

I couldn't see why they couldn't call him Bob Lee instead. It worked for Gerry Rivera.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

So, does Robert Lee get to sue ESPN for racial discrimination?

His name isn't going to change at the next game either, so isn't ESPN basically telling him that he's unemployable?

Needs to change his name 'Martin Luther King' so he can get banned for 'cultural appropriation', instead. Wink

He should change his name to William T. Sherman. Or perhaps, John W. Boothe. They'd probably like that one a lot.

Naw, names are so 2017ish. Should start serializing names at birth so each would be individualized. Kinda like an inventory number. yeah, that's the ticket.

Oh wait, I think it's been done before with a bad outcome.

Nevermind.



I should be tall and rich too; That ain't gonna happen either

I'm named after my grandfather who's first and middle names were Robert Lee. Nice knowing you guys but I've got to turn myself in for my entirely justified execution. Even though my grandparents were Native Americans. Seriously. Roll Eyes

Comedian Ron White is right, "you can't fix stupid".

Lets get this straight, They (ESPN) insult a person of another race so people of a different race won't be offended.
Like I said Ron White was right.

It would be great to state that we now have reached peak ESPN stupidity with this fiasco, but sadly these will be something else to come along that ESPN will do to top this......

There is so much amazing stupid around that there should be an award for the most dumbfounding, you-gotta-be-shitting-me, truly colossal stupid.

Aaaaand, we have a winner! Big Grin

UPDATE: ESPN ISSUES OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”


You regret that it's become an issue? YOU made it an issue you blithering idiots.

Oh, noes, a meme! Maybe we'll get to see an ESPN meme war like we got with CNN. Razz We can only hope, there's comedy gold in there.
