Once they decided to do it, they should have just switched it and not made an official announcement. Maybe they did that, because it seems they made the decision last week, right after the Charlottesville Nazi Rally. Sensationalized news has a way of getting out.
I refuse to get worked up about it. If they would have kept him there, meh. Now that they've moved him, meh.
For me, it's more about the fact that *anyone* would potentially be offended by an Asian guy who's name is Robert Lee. I just think that is absolutely assinine. I mean, Lee is an Asian name! Lol. Other than that, you are right that if it was a mutual decision between he and ESPN there is no reason for anyone to care either way.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
