You’re not dense. The PC morons are. They think that they must appease the 3 people in the United States that might get offended because they are too freaking stupid to realize that Mr. Lee is not Gen. Robert E. Lee.
And yet ESPN wonders why they lost viewership and subscribers. It is freaking sports. Let people watch the boxing, racing, tennis, football, basketball, or whatever and get the freaking politics out of it.
Seems that you cannot even have a bowel movement in the privacy of your own home without having politics interjected into the moment.
I figured out in high school that the history of a conflict is written by the winners of that conflict. (How would our Founding Fathers be described in British history books if America had lost the Revolution?). It’s been only in recent years, however, that I learned the history of a conflict, in this case the Civil War, can be re-written as deemed necessary to fit changing political demands.
by trying to avoid an embarrassing ordeal, ESPN has embarrassed itself. He was moved off of the UVA game simply because of the coincidence of his name with the racist loser general whose statues has caused controversy because of white supremacists. The network’s viewership has not been affected by the political polarization Trump has caused. We’ll have to see if it is affected by this over the top decision.
Anything Rewritten to be politically correct has a major flaw right out front? It has to be altered to fit a different cultural viewpoint therefore it is intrinsically wrong! If you call a shovel a spade are you gardening or are you playing poker?
Some one please read, and remedially explain, a basic American history text(not printed by the SOUTH) to the orange dolt. Better yet, let Trump spend as many days visiting Veteran’s hospitals as he golfs,

Incredibly stupid move, responding to Trump’s idiot followers.

Lester and the other Trump Disciples will claim that them libruls forced this decision.
In reality, it was the Disney CORPORATION that made the decision, all on their own.
Patriotic multinational corporations capitulate to librul pressure? As if.

Just like them libruls got all the H-b visas for immigrant workers, ’specially them Mar-a-lago workers.

Of course, that’s not at ALL why he was removed but it makes for a great story for us Conservatives to tell each other.
