    ESPN felt Robert Lee would likely face jokes and mocking on Twitter if he covered the University of Virginia gamehttp://on.wsj.com/2vfmsd6

        So instead ESPN gets to be the butt of the joke for being ridiculously stupid.

        Pretty much. They dug their own grave by making this unnecessary move.

        This has gone way too far. It's bordering on total ignorance. This sports caster has every right to do his job. How dumb are these people??

        If you wanna be a successful sports announcer in 2017, you can't have a history of commanding the Confederate Army in the 1860s.

        Maybe if they ran a pic of him on screen whenever he's talking, people would understand that he's not the Civil War general.

        Still sounds like ol' discrimination to me. Maybe he could change it to something less offensive like Barack Stonewall Jackson-Lee King Jr.

        Or maybe if he got a sex change he could still keep his name & be the 1st Transgender/Asian/Confederate Sports Announcer! What a pioneer!!!
