ESPN Pulls TV Announcer Over Last Name

It will never end. It's bizarro world out there right now.

So much so, that ESPN actually removed a TV announcer for a football game this weekend because his name is Richard Lee.

I am not lying.

The dude is ASIAN! IIRC, and I've watched a lot of college football games, I believe this is the ONLY Asian tv announcer for ESPN college football. And ESPN demoted him over his last name....a very popular Asian last name!

From Twitter:

"""Irony: Punishing an Asian-American for his last name out of fear of racism."""

"""ESPN hates racism so much that they're punishing an Asian guy for having an Asian last name."""
