Funny Ha! ESPN pulls Robert Lee from announcing a Football game.

[bodyman5000 and 1]

I assume "collective decision" means that Robert (not E.) Lee was also part of it. It wasn't against his wishes.

My bosses ask me to do things I don't wanna do all the time and I happily comply.

Maybe you should be less complicit.

I think the ESPN decision was silly, but I don't think it matters much and I doubt Lee cared which particular game he did.

I think a far more obvious reason is how many layoffs they've done. SIR YES SIR! Even if he thought it was stupid, why say anything?

As for me, been at same bodyshop for 10 years. That's rare.

He can't until Denny blames Obama.

Forum rules.

Thanks Obama.

Your infatuation with me follows me in every thread. It's creepy.

Three chinese cheers for the collective decision.

Fooey, fooey, fooey.

Not about infatuation, more about doing this to you...

"Did someone say something bad about Trump?!?"

Was that joke big in the 1950s?

 

[Denny Crane]

Was that joke big in the 1950s?

It's appropriate.

 

[Denny Crane]

My OPINION is that ESPN screwed over its employee, admittedly driven by fear (of memes!).

 

[Minstrel]

It's appropriate.

So, yes. You're a walking history of "ethnic" jokes!

 

[Minstrel]

admittedly driven by fear (of memes!).

Everyone's scared of memes these days. A twitter account can be scarred for life by a dank enough meme.

How did they screw him over?

He's still announcing a football game.

Except he has gone from the new guy ESPN hired, that nobody has heard of, to the 2nd most well known Robert Lee.

I bet his agent is happy.

 

[Natebishop3]

If it had been a while guy, I could have seen maybe some ribbing, but the dude isn't white and Lee is a fairly common Asian last name.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on SportsTwo by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is SportsTwo. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it. Heh.

^not dank.

copypastas are never dank. The fact that you thought that was a meme pretty much says it all.

Here, this is more your speed. Enjoy an imgur:

Kellyanne Conway won.

So why the fuck do you want to derail this thread?

I know KellyAnne won.

Apparently the criticism of ESPN as being a left-leaning media company is completely unfounded...

Where'd this guy come from?

He's such an unstable person. His act apparently gets old with any network that hires him.

I wouldn't suggest that ESPN is left leaning. I do know there's been a few incidents where they've felt the need to deal harshly with right leaning employees.
