I really thought this was fake news.But it appears to be real. ESPN, made one of their announcers change games. An Asian announcer for ESPN, named Robert Lee, was moved from one game to another, all because of his name.After seeing this, I sincerely hope ESPN's rating tank and fast. Robert Lee was too controversial of a name to call a game in the south. A grown adult, working at a network actually made this decision.
@Fallon: Robert Lee was scheduled to be part of a broadcasting team of a game to be played in Charlottesville, Virginia. Mr. Lee and ESPN agreed that the combination of his name, the location of the game, and the recent events in that town presented an elevated risk for MR. Lee. In an abundance of caution, he is being reassigned to a game at another location. It absolutely was an adult decision that is being criticized reflexively. 4951
