ESPNis going down the tubes. You goto their website and usually a handful of top news stories are always some political garbage, even though Sports are supposed to be entertainment.
Are these reparations that Robert Lee must pay for being named thus? He's probably Korean, and the name Lee is incredibly common over there. This is just really dumb and indefensible.

From the New York Times article After the violence in Charlottesville, which left one person dead, ESPN executives and Mr. Lee decided that for his safety it would be best to have him to work on a different game that Saturday, a network spokesman said.

Oh I agree. I had seen the safety thing in reporting and found that odd. Probably just a spokesperson saying things without thinking. But parsing that as a given reason, why would they be afraid of protesters against racism. It wouldn't be the retrograde confederacy fetishists finding the name problematic. This shows troubling assumptions about their perception of what all of the movement against white supremacy is about and an insulting appraisal of intelligence of the movement to remove racist symbols.Resurrect dead on planet JupiterFunWithAFryPan posted...Confirmed as fake news.

I'll explain it then.
When you already believe everything the media says is a lie, you can just make up whatever you feel is true and believe that instead.
It's pretty silly to everyone with a brain they actually care to use.He who strikes with meaning is killed by meaning.you have my viewpoint here mixed up with the state of play on media in general. there's plenty of "real news" that comes from the media. it requires a keen eye to spot and an even keener ability to sift though, but its there. it just so happens that its rarely found undoctored in the political media. for you to reduce my commentary here to that doesn't really indicate an honest communicator. its easier to just dismiss out of hand and I get that.
overall, generally speaking its strange to imagine that corporate spokesmen or public relations firms in general aren't interested in putting their companies or clients forward in the best possible light. anyone blindly parroting what they say doesn't really have the best leg to stand on in terms of recognizing who is gullible and who is not.Please clap.RcBcoop80 posted...As far as I can tell, this is not a fake story.

I hate to break it to you, but ESPN is not "the left".
You must not watch ESPN much. They talk about politics nearly as much as sports now and they lean hard to the left.
FOR THE FIFTIETH f***ING TIME, I NEVER SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T LEAN LEFT.
And no, they don't talk about politics as much as sports. If you actually think that, then I'd say YOU don't watch much ESPN.
