University of Virginia Pulls Asian Football Announcer Named Robert Lee

In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN MSESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.
Did I mention that Robert Lee is Asian?
Is this even real life anymore? This might even be worse than MSESPN apologizing for the fantasy football slave draft a couple of weeks ago.

For those of you who don't follow Clay Travis, the guy who created and runs this site.. He refers to ESPN as MSESPN.
Either way, this is nonsense.

He should just ask to compromise (even though they shouldn't as he has done nothing wrong) and ask if he can keep his job if he goes by Bob.

frick that. He shouldn't even have to compromise. Robert is a pretty common name and Lee.. I guess that is considered a common "Asian" last name. And because that is the name his parents gave him, he is being pulled from calling football games?
This is too far IMO.

The source for this is fans of Outkick. I'll swallow my outrage with a grain of salt on this one.

The other announcers had gotten kind of stale...Looking to put a different slant on things.

Just as long as LSU keeps their Spanish football announcer - that guy is gold!
