Way to blow something out of proportion.
I'm all for taking down the monuments but this is a pretty stupid overstep.
I don't think there is even a unit of measurement available that can accurately describe the amount of stupidity this is.

ESPN ISSUES OFFICIAL STATEMENT ON MOVING ROBERT LEE FROM VIRGINIA GAME:
“We collectively made the decision with Robert to switch games as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name. In that moment it felt right to all parties. It’s a shame that this is even a topic of conversation and we regret that who calls play by play for a football game has become an issue.”
