        ESPN said it "felt right" to switch broadcaster #RobertLee from its broadcast of Virginia's season opener. http://usat.ly/2wx1tXt

        He should never have been approached about it in the first place. What was he going to say at that point, no, I'm going to do it. Right. 🙄🙄

        They were trying to save him from the people that certainly would've created Memes mocking his name during the broadcast…

        Mocking an Asian man with the surname Lee, second most common surname among Asians? That's a bit of a stretch.

        I think it would have had to do with the combination with his first name... as well as the fact that he'd be calling a UVA game...

        Not allowing someone to do their job because of what their name is is a form of racism.

        Can we all (left/right/black/white/brown) unite in agreement on how absolutely EXTRA @espn is for this? Let's unite in laughter, y'all 😂

        Ridiculous! I feel it is discrimination---based on his darn name! He is Asian American and happens to be named Robert Lee so he can't work?

        I like how "doing the right thing" for capital always seems to line up with hurting people of color.
