Robert Lee comes to town to do a game in Charlottesville.
ESPN is facing criticism after deciding to take announcer Robert Lee off of a University of Virginia football game simply because his name is similar to the famous Confederate general.
The decision quickly dire ire from people online, who blasted ESPN for pulling an Asian-American announcer from a game out of fear of racist backlash.
Lee was originally scheduled to announce for the Virginia Cavaliers’ first game of the season, but now will announce Youngstown State’s game.
