This should cause outrage. It's the man's name
This is sorta where I'm at.

It's......it's the poor guy's name. And I've never in my life heard the general's name without the E. So it ain't even the same.

And the man isn't even white.

What a nuisance for this guy

If he wasn't already, we might just have us a new conservative voter, though

We don't know what the conversation actually was. He may have had more concerns than ESPN.


Maybe.

Maybe not.

Still hilarious

Zoo? Are they referring to people as animals now?

I mean this may spur more memes than just having him call the game and not bringing it up.

I still don't think their decision is too crazy.

Gotta call up the Lee's and see. Maybe get the Nguyen, Tran, Chen, Zhang, yang, etc together and see if we can protest. I mean we're all the same in America's eyes anyway (if I had a dollar for Everytime someone asked me what kind of Asian are you)

Serious question, why not just call the game as Bob Lee. Or go by his middle name? I mean i sure as hell would never know the difference and you know the snowflakes don't watch much college sports.

Bob Ley is really glad he goes by Bob instead of Robert at the present.

ESPN looks silly on this. And the fact that he made a big deal over this just reinforces my belief that Clay Travis is a bag of catshit that somehow became a real boy. Can't wait til he gets busted sending dick pix to 14-year-olds.

So Clay Travis wanted to stir up shite where there wasn't any to begin with. Got it.


Of course. The dude is a shitbag playing people for chumps w/his blatantly twisted hot takes designed to produce maximum click bait.

It's incredible to me that this board has gone from seeing him for exactly what he is when he was just a dude covering the SEC to kissing his arse b/c he started his "these damn libs are oppressing the working white man act". He's fricking playing people so hard. He is the new generation of the Skip Bayless/Colin Cowherd school of say shite to rile people up = profit.
