      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...

          Because we’re too petty to understand that Robert Lee and Robert E. Lee are two completely different people… And that R.E.L is long dead…

          Typical ESPN type reaction. And they'd crucify any local station who did this.

          Removing a person because of his name is as discriminatory as removing someone because of his race. Completely nonsensical.

          It was mutual but only because #espn thought it was a problem to begin with. Therein lies the problem.

          You're a new ESPN announcer. ESPN asks you if you REALLY want to announce with that name? Look left. Look right. Answer:uh-no? It's Mutual
