[Otters27]

Tired of this race stuff. Wish I was back in the late 90s when we all were pretty much cool with each other

[Foxx]

Can't make this shit up. Jesus.

[Slipknot26]

This is why I turned off ESPN and don't watch it anymore . Also why they had to give walking papers to 100 employees .
Jesus , you would think they would get the clue after all of what they've went through , stop with the political push , viewers don't care about politics while watching sports, guess not .
The problem, no other Company has cashed in on the ESPN downfall , FS1 attempted but racket ball, racing isnt exactly going to gain you Ratings lost by ESPN .

[manny24]

agree with Slipper about FS1 they are failing to finish a downed opponent

lose the rodeo bull riding, monster trucks and drag racing honestly nobody wants to see any of that shit

more Big3 and UFC

No doubt, WTF happened?

Social media

[grease lightnin]

Social media

Was that it?

I thought it was Trayvon, George, and Barack

It wasn't any better in the 90s. If anything race relations are better now.
Social media caters to exteme viewpoints. The far left and far right get the noise, not people in the middle. People can get into their bubbles where they believe what they believe and if you don't agree with them, you are evil. Already liberal media outlets like ESPN, CNN see the "outrage" on twitter and magnify issues that aren't really important. The result is we are constantly bombarded with hot takes and disneyfication (good vs evil) of every single issue. The middle man doesn't have a voice anymore.

[grease lightnin]

Compelling argument ^^^

I just laugh win people say race relations are worse now.

Wtf is Espn doing? Didn't believe it was true when I read it. Who is running the show there? Lol

[Kermit]

After this gets even uglier, I can only imagine that ESPN will come out and say that it was Robert Lee's decision. And of course he'll agree to keep his job.

According to an ESPN executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, ESPN asked Lee if he would be more comfortable calling another game but gave him the option to stay. Lee chose to switch assignments, and ESPN accommodated him.

i heard Ulysses Grant is the new Boxing color commentator for the Floyd Conner fight

[Auto Donk]

these pilots put in employment applications at espn after losing their airline gig

[franklee168]

Use his real name which is Jun Sin Lee and the problem is solved.

[TheSideBet]

Just when Asian sports broadcasters started getting gigs now they are being discriminated against as to not offend an audience who most likely don't even watch sports judging by who has been out there whining.

[Auto Donk]

hey frank, I noticed you took down one of the "off server" trnies, did you get paid?

if so, f'n nice!

[Pinoy-T-X]

Is he related to Bruce?

[franklee168]

[ChuckyTheGoat]

LOL, hilarious. New nickname, "The General" Lee.

[funnyb25]

The thread title is wrong. It's not like they fired the guy. They agreed to reassign him to a different game. Much ado about little.
