    Just like when ESPN didn't realize a fantasy football skit looked like a slave auction from the movie Get Out, ESPN has no Idea what they are doing.

    On what grounds? He was switched to a different game after he was asked. He wasn't fired.

    That had to be the absolute dumbest thing ever. The guy is Asian and last I looked Lee is a common Asian name and is in no way form or fashion related to Robert (I wish I was in Dixie) E Lee and the Confederacy. Let me get this straight: They can perceive a "problem" with a guy named Lee calling a football game in Charlottesville but were unable to see any problem when they broadcast a Fantasy Football Player Auction where black NFL players were auctioned off by a white auctioneer to other white males.

    Defamation of character? Is that a real question?

    Kevin Blackisstone and Todd Blackledge are taking over the coverage. Horace S. Grant has declined further comment.
