not surprising...this kind of thing will happen everywhere.
Here in Houston, the University of Houston is changing the name of the Calhoun Lofts dorms that are located off of Calhoun Road. Obviously the lofts are named after the road they are located on, which happens to share its name with John C. Calhoun, 7th vice president who owned slaves.

Nobody complained, they just did it because of all the controversies recently so not to hurt any of the campus snowflakes' feelings

I honestly have been waiting for the post that says "this is all fake."
I cannot even describe how incredibly asinine this is.

University of Virginia Pulls Asian Football Announcer Named Robert Lee
The title of this thread needs to be changed.....this is fake news....The University DID NOT REMOVE LEE...
quote:
Per Espn:ESPN removes Robert Lee from calling U-Va. game in Charlottesville because of his name
quote:
“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name,” ESPN said in a statement. “In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”

It was ESPN that pulled the announcer, not UVA.

Virginia's stadium is named after Frederic Scott-the census from 1850 showed a man by that name owned two slaves. I don't think they should play any home games until that stadium is removed.
