A story that surely has out done anything the Onion could even hope to dream up, ESPN pulled a college football commentator from broadcasting the University of Virginia football game because the commentator's name is Robert Lee. ESPN was afraid of political fallout that a Robert Lee would be broadcasting a Virginia game so soon after Charlottesville.

Robert Lee is of Asian descent.

ESPN confirms the story.

Whoever you are the REAL Baldo is going to be pi$$ed when he discovers that his account has been hacked.  Evil Evil Evil

Asian American, Robert Lee, that is.  He works for ESPN and was pulled from working a game in Virginia because they didn't want to offend viewers by having Mr. Lee broadcast the game because of his name.

Yeah, I see the resemblance.                         Not.  crazy2



Even funnier, can you imagine the original calling a football game?  

Strike the tent.

I can only get channels I want in a package that includes ESPN. If I had my way not only would I not get ESPN.  Also the owner's, Disney, other stations. The only thing I watch on ESPN is a few college games. That could fall to the wayside as they are getting into the NFL mode the last few years. I haven't seen a (non)super bowl in years. Pro football is deep in the "who cares column".

Dump the whole lot and use a ROKU or other streaming device plus an indoor antenna for local channels.

Then add Netflix or Hulu and save money as well.

Interesting idea.

Don't need an antenna, don't watch the local yokels.

There is so much good content on Netflix.  ABC, CBS, NBC look like amateur night.

Roku also has a number of news channels.

Sky, France 24, CBSN and more
