You STARTED the conversation and YOU made it an issue.

Has ESPN backed up on this yet and reinstated the guy to call the game?

So let me get this right...

An Asian man, with the first name of "Robert" (one of the most common first names in America... and the last name of "Lee" (one of the most common last names, despite American spelling, or Asian spelling of "Li") gets banned from being the play by play broadcaster of a sporting event....

Really????

Simply insane....
