(Worthy News) - Apparently, even being Asian doesn’t mean people won’t take you for being a white nationalist.

ESPN confirmed Tuesday night that it had decided to pull an announcer from calling a University of Virginia football game because his name is Robert Lee. This Robert Lee is Asian.

“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,” reads the ESPN statement posted at the popular Fox Sports college-football blog Outkick the Coverage. [ Source (Read More...) ]

It's a good thing Keith Jackson (longtime sportscaster for ABC) is retired - otherwise they'd have to remove him as well.  

After all, someone might confuse him with "Stonewall" Jackson.

ESPN  has just proved they can out PC even CNN.  Apparently these brainiacs don't realize they just discriminated against a minority.  "Lee'"is the most often used surname in the world and it is a CHINESE name besides being an English one.

This is just getting ridiculous. And it is an insult to the intelligence of average Americans.
