    Current leader for "dumbest thing of the year" award - or how ESPN may be a tad weird

    http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...rals-name.html

    They moved the color guy for the Virginia football game b/c his name is "Robert Lee". he's Asian American, thus the Lee name, a very common one in the Asian community of course.

    I don't know if this shows the ESPN bias we have debated on here, or just their foolishness. Was anyone going to really notice or care about this guy's name, esp. since he's Asian?

    How absurd. I didn't post it to rip into ESPN per se, though I think this is just silly, but I did find it funny how touchy people are becoming. Now if it's ESPN being touchy or if they are right and people really would be silly enough to care I'm not sure.

    FWIW I agree with Greg Guttfeld on his show, who said it is like an Onion story.
    People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin' I'm back.

    No, its every bit as silly as you believe.

    ESPN has no journalistic credibility.

    I think anyone who is surprised by this hasn't been paying attention.
    Cool as a rule, but sometimes bad is bad.

    Apparently he had input on the decision too. So I wouldn't pin it on ESPN completely. It's more like click bait.....
