ESPN has pulled an announcer from Virginia’s season opener against William & Mary because of his name as first reported by Outkick the Coverage’s Clay Travis.

The announcer’s name is Robert Lee.

ESPN released a statement on the change of announcers, via Outkick the Coverage.

“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. 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.”

Outkick was quick to weigh in on the decision.

“In a story that seems made for The Onion, but is actually true, according to multiple Outkick fans inside ESPN decided to pull an Asian college football announcer named Robert Lee off the William and Mary at University of Virginia college football game because they were concerned that having an ASIAN FOOTBALL ANNOUNCER NAMED ROBERT LEE would be offensive to some viewers.

“Did I mention that Robert Lee is Asian?”

Lee, the ESPN announcer, will now be doing play-by-play on the Pittsburgh - Youngstown State game.

Dave Weekley will be covering the Virginia - William & Mary game.

ESPN's political crap is killing their sports channel. People are tuning out, and they are having to cut staffing.

Hahahaha. Dumbasses.

Think I broke the code and his comment had nothing remotely to do with your wives.


If he has to explain I hope his better half has a sense of humor.

Pretty sure Caren's sister isn't Filipino. Think she was born at Beth Israel Hospital.

I've been with my wife for 30 years next March. Married 28 already. She knows my inappropriate sense of humor. Hell, my boat name is Yellow Fever.

Our family 4th of July bash in NY has Asian, Hispanic, Black, and White... my family is truly an American melting pot.
