ESPN pulls Robert Lee
|
 
The Washington Times is a Moonie shitrag, however the report has been covered by more reputable sources as well.
Bizarre, to say the least.   RE: ESPN pulls Robert Lee

Saw it on the news. Ridiculous.
"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."

Sadly it's not all that surprising that EPSN thought the SJW fags would be triggered by the name. SJWs have been offended by less, making videos recently about how it's horrible to call women girls, and how it's racist for white folks to use Michael Jackson popcorn laughing gifs because that's 'digital blackface'. This all may sound hard to believe, but it's only going to be getting ten times worse.

Um yea, as much as I hate the KKK AND Nazis, I do find it absurd to move this poor guy.

It reeks to me of ESPN trying to jump on a publicity bandwagon in a desperate attempt to maintain their quickly-waning relevance. Really seems like corporate grasping, not ESPN caving to 'triggered' 'SJW fags'. I haven't seen any of the news stories on this topic even say that anyone wanted Robert Lee removed - it's just more clickbait desperation. In the CNN article it even says that the decision was made by ESPN execs and Robert Lee, not driven by some public outcry. And why does it seem that the ones complaining the most about "SJW fags" are always the most asshole-ish that get upset that other people don't want to listen to their shit?

The interesting thing about this to me is that apparently multiple people of authority at a major media outlet made this decision. This wasn't the impulsive action of some fire-brand or spineless bowing to public pressure. Apparently, they decided to do this on their own without prompting. IMHO it reflects contempt for their audience.
