Have you heard of Robert Lee? No, not the Confederate general whose reputation and statues are being torn down by the social justice warriors. But the Asian-American sportscaster who was scheduled to call an upcoming college football game in Charlottesville, Virginia for ESPN. Well, ESPN decided that posed a problem. They feared his name would offend some people watching the game. So they pulled him from the broadcast and reassigned him to the Youngstown State-Pittsburgh contest.
That might have pleased the sensitive snowflakes among us, but it caused outrage and disbelief to many others. "ESPN must think we're so stupid," said Breitbart.com editor Raheem Kassam, "that we can't tell the difference between one Lee and another. They might think a Confederate general is calling the game."
However, Kassam did make light of the matter, composing the following clever poem:
There Was A Young Man Named Robert Lee
Who Ended Up Being Set Free
From Calling A Game
On ESPN
To Spare Offending
Girly-Men
Lee Shared A Name
With Another Chap
About Whom the Country
Is In a Big Flap
The Left Wonders Why
We Think They're So Nuts
When They've Got Their Heads
Right Up Their Butts
