[ConfederateSS]

------OH! MY! GOD!... ESPN PULLED AN ANNOUNCER FROM CALLING A GAME...BECAUSE OF HIS NAME...HIS NAME ROBERT LEE...WAIT IT GETS BETTER...HE IS AN ASIAN AMERICAN... NO WAY!!! ESPN...YOU CAN'T BE THIS FAR TO THE LEFT...WOW!!!!!!! ...There is an old saying, The Democrats better get used to...We have met the monster...THE MONSTER IS US... ...I GUESS THE LEFT NEVER LOOKS IN THE MIRROR... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)...

Crazy doesn't stop. Seriously, it WILL NOT STOP. It will not stop until it destroys everything or is itself destroyed.

Meh- it's obviously not what the Nazi guy says, but here's what happened:

http://www.snopes.com/2017/08/23/robert-lee-espn/

Dude was switched to commentate on a different game. Seems that Lee and ESPN talked it over and agreed to switch:

This wasn’t about offending anyone. It was about the reasonable possibility that because of his name he would be subjected to memes and jokes and who knows what else. Think about it. Robert Lee comes to town to do a game in Charlottesville. The reaction to our switching a young, anonymous play by play guy for a streamed ACC game is off the charts — reasonable proof that the meme/joke possibility was real.

Kinda backfired given that the far-right are using sites to lie about it anyway.

------Espn corp. pres... tells(suggests as corp. pres.) Mr. Lee to switch ...Espn didn't have a problem in Lee's name when he was hired...Now they are caught up in P.C. America...They then put out 3 different press releases to try and cover their asses... Because,they actually think sports fans can't tell the difference between an Asian American Man living in 2017...From a Southern American man who died 147 years ago ...That is what happened,Espn thinks all Americans are really that stupid... ...Not to mention they are more in to politics then sports these days...They laugh at the things NFL puts out ,from their handling of players protesting the Anthem...They do the same about Mr. Lee...Even more,they have now made it an issue...Mr.Lee is now in the lime light...Where as ,if the just would have let him do the game in question...A few people that day for an hour,would blah,blah...But by the next game on Espn....Mr.Lee would have been an after thought... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... ...It has nothing to do with ratings and publicity for the network,at a man's expense ,throwing him to the wolves of the Left...

I think they were trying to protect him. As Kim said, it obviously backfired, but I think their intentions were good.

Anyway, it certainly wasn't "at his expense". I'm sure he gets paid the same whether he's on that assignment or a different one.

-----"Expense" has more in the word than money...They have put him/his family more at risk now...By switching him off that game...He is now in the public's eye..More now,than he was as an announcer... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... ...Before this story,I never heard of him,I don't watch college sports that much...Outside of Mich/Mich St/Ohio St...

Same here. I don't watch college sports ever, except by accident, and never heard of this guy until you posted this.

I don't think he or his family are in any danger. He may even get a boost to his career as a result of the affair. Who knows, there may be a bestselling book "How I Became Famous Because of a Silly Coincidence" and then a speaking tour and a movie....

[ConfederateSS]

------I hope Mr. Lee will be fine...But you know the lovable LEFT...I'm sure now there will be protesters at any game he does......
------Yes, When they tell his story...SPIKE LEE(Ironic,I wonder who is in his past? )...CAN FILM THE MOVIE...SPONSORED BY BLACK LIVES MATTER... ConfederateSS.out!(The Blue and Silver Rebellion)... ...As far as espn goes...They say they where worried about jokes and such....REMEMBER WHEN PEOPLE COULD LAUGH A THEMSELVES AND TAKE A JOKE!...NOT GET THEIR "FEELINGS" IN A TWIST...WHAT A WORLD?...WHAT A WORLD?

[Symmetry]

Creepy stuff, Nazi guy. Any more false suggestions that the outrage about this isn't from the right?

Maybe you feel that you haven't outright suggested enough that he and his family are now in danger from nutjobs who support the SS and the Confederacy.

It ain't the left who are upset that he commentated on one football game instead of another. It's people who admire the Confederacy and the Nazis who make threads about it, then slyly write that he should be afraid.

Which one?

The one that the Nazi/Confed guy posts about how he needs to worry?

Or the Confederate general?

That guy was pretty racist.

1) He didn't really oppose slavery, but as, and I quote from the man, he thought it "“a greater evil to the white man than to the black race” in the United States, and that the “painful discipline they are undergoing, is necessary for their instruction.”. So, he didn't really oppose it.

2) Lee's descendants inherited his slaves- https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/18/us/robert-e-lee-slaves.html?mcubz=1

3-4) Who the f*ck cares

That was the New York Times that Robert E Lee wrote to. And that quoted his descendent, who also posted in the NY Times.

Dude, you're just wrong on this.

[karel]

so what if he quoted his descendents,he was not like them,hence why he got rid of his slaves

[Symmetry]

He didn't "get rid" of his slaves. He passed his wealth on. His wealth was slaves. Do you really think that Lee was some kind of saintly slave owner?

[Thorthoth]

*passed his wealth on... not ''past his wealth on''.
Please use standard English in the forums, Symbot.
...and in the future, do not try to falsely pass yourself off as an English teacher.

Regardless, you shall still be judged harshly for this egregious error until the end of your miserable days.

FACT

General Lee was a TRAITOR to The United States of America. Before the Confederacy he pledged to defend the Constitution and to defend the United States of America.

Fuking morons who view their ideology over country are un-American.
