Is there anything more
pathetic than ESPN imagining people would be offended by an Asian-American
play-by-play announcer named Robert Lee calling a football game between the
Virginia Cavaliers and the Tribe of William and Mary?
No.
Dave Weekley will call
the UVa-W&M contest while General Lee will call the play-by-play for the
Youngstown State-Pitt game on ESPN that day instead.
It’s time for God to
flood the earth again.
