I just feel bad for Robert Lee because his broadcast of the Pittsburgh game will be lost in the ether as the rest of the nation is sits entranced watching someone else call the Virginia/William & Mary game on ESPN3.

Personally, I'm going to boycott the Virginia espn3 game

Well somebody wants to anyway

They're flailing. ESPN has ran a liberal based platform for quite sometime and they're snowflaking their asses off here. Looks like the ESPN guy talks like Trump. "NO biggie until someone leaked it to embarrass us and him. They got their way". We live in a day of age where ppl are scared of meme's for Christ sakes and you're all sitting in this fire pit you've created saying "this is fine". This kid was about to debut and make his dream come true and because everyone has a dumbass political agenda these days, they stripped him from it. ESPN is a bunch of cowards.

My immediate reaction was that it was ridiculous, but this explanation makes sense.

I think that's the way most rational thinkers take this too.

The only controversy here is the extent to which this was actually a "mutual decision." Like I said, I would think Lee should be happy if his broadcast went viral. I seriously doubt he was concerned about taking attention away from the Virginia game.

I also am always suspicious of a line like "we asked him if he wanted to switch and we mutually agreed to." That sounds just like if an employer asks you if you still want to keep your job or if your gf asks if you still want to date. Yea, they're not telling you they want something, but you might get the impression there is an answer they'd prefer to hear.

Does your employer pick which projects you work on?

Not at all and i'll take that as a no. Also, you guys have no clue how much research it takes to broadcast a game of two teams you know nothing about. He's probably been preparing for it all summer and now he has to start over.

given that he probably does games weekly I'm sure a professional like him will be able to take the change in stride.

It's the first football game of the year, dummy.

Broadcasters develop depth charts, interview coaches, players, etc. months in advance. It's a huge ass hassle for him, to have to change games, because of his name and the pussification of ESPN/America.

and he doesnt call other games? Like, is he preparing all summer just for the first game? If he is calling 12 games a year, than in my mind he has to change 1/12 of his workload, since he'll need to prep for all 12, and if polishes it for the next weeks game, than really it would appear he only needs a week to prep, in which case the "whole summer" is also equally hyperbolic.
