activist PN has issued a statment ...


Aug 22, 2017, 9:41 PM

UPDATE: ESPN ISSUES OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON MOVING ROBERT LEE FROM VIRGINIA GAME:

“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”

that is purely stupid though..they are the ones who made who calls play by play for a a football game an issue..could someone please step up and unseat this trash network fs1 im looking at you

no shortage of stupid around this whole issue. rip everything down or leave everything alone. Nothing done over 100 years ago changes either way

I can only hope that some lawyer contacts Robert Lee and files the biggest lawsuit ever known for this absolutely absurd act. If this is condoned by America, then we have become a land of . May the activists rot in ####.

I would try to use this as leverage to announce better games than UVA football. They're a bottomfeeder, which means minimal exposure.

Do we know that Mr. Robert Lee did not make the request to be moved himself?

No idea what you are asking.

I'm asking do you guys know for sure that This announcer did not ask his employer to be reassigned to another game due to his name and not wanting to go to ground zero of the recent clown show and ESPN simply agreed?

What does that have to do with anyone keeping their job?

Where do you see "The producer suggested"?

The statement says that all agreed to it while the events were unfolding. You do not know, nor do I nor anyone else, whose idea it was originally. But yeah it's fun to pretend to know facts I guess...

and here's our answer....it's always best to know facts. I agree the entire thing is dumb and ridiculous but I don't think ESPN deserves the onslaught of criticism that they are receiving. The idea was innocent and more to protect himself and the employer to protect their employee. However, it has back fired.

I was just watching this on Fox News and a lawyer on there says there could not be a lawsuit over this because he was reassigned to another game, not fired because of is name. I agree that this is beyond stupid, but it doesn't look like there is anything that can be done legally.

Activists are responsible for starting this country, activists on both sides of the issues were responsible for the Great Unpleasantness, activists kept Christianity alive in the Roman Empire and later led the split from the Holy Catholic Church, activists led the fight for women's rights and for civil rights.

Which of these activists would you like to see "rot in helll"?

If you're not passionate about something, your rot has begun.

There is irony here. You complain about them making a big deal about this, but it seems like you are making a big deal about them making a big deal about it.
