ESPN blasted for political correctness after pulling announcer Robert Lee from UVa football game

[X12321]

[QUOTE=froztshock;52604055]So this was a mutual decision made between the commentator and the network in order to make both more comfortable and not actually some tyrannical mega-pc stomping-down of an innocent man with a name that's slightly unfortunate given the situation?

Well for all we know he might've not had a choice. The fact they asked him in the first place is still just as laughable.

[QUOTE=27X;52605153]And why would that matter at all[/QUOTE]

???

Because the article, the title of this thread, and posts in this thread are indicating that ESPN is acting 'Politically Correct' and that this move is 'idiotic'.

My point is, it isnt a PC move, and its really not idiotic at all.
