You knew it wasn’t going to be pretty. And it wasn’t.
In the wake of ESPN’s insanely stupid decision to pull Asian announcer Robert Lee from a UVA college football game, Twitter delivered unto ESPN a category 5 roasting hurricane.
Enjoy. (I sure did.)
ESPN hates racism so much that they're punishing an Asian guy for having an Asian last-name. #RobertLee @espn

This is one of those stories that when you hear it you think it's a joke but no, Liberals really are that moronic. #RobertLee pic.twitter.com/PzaQhR2awh

There are so many Robert Lee profiles on your site that I'm terrified.

Wait isn't ESPN profiling?

For the sake of his career, sports announcer #RobertLee should change his name to something less controversial, like Robert Mugabe. pic.twitter.com/QVRz4YS06t

Yeah, this move by ESPN didn’t do much to dispel the notion that their recent mass layoffs and declining viewership had nothing to do with their blatantly liberal bias.
