Mr. Lee will probably sue ESPN for racial discrimination and wind up with huge civil suit payout. But I bet the liberal, late-night TV talk show hosts won't crack jokes about it.

Take a look at the lyrics to Metallica's Hardwired song...
"We're so f***ed Shi* outta luck. Hard wired to self destruct." Now I know what they're singing about. LOL Couldn't he just change his name to Robert Ree? |

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other word would smell as sweet;" indeed, what is in a name? does not talent, character, ability matter anymore? idiots. |

many, many people from far away lands use "american" first names so that they can have an easier time in public life.
as inclusive and understanding as we are, we have a hard time with odd names. it's not personal, but names without a basis in English are hard to say, to spell, and to use in everyday conversation with English speakers. sometimes their parents understand this and give them "normal" first names, other times if they have arrived here with foreign names, they will adopt a normal name to make it easier on all. we just are not set up to process odd names on a regular basis. not Finnish, not Chinese, or even some French names. i don't know if Mr. Lee was named Robert by his parents or if he adopted Robert later in life. but i'm sure he's a well qualified broadcaster, or he wouldn't be working at ESPN. |

When I made this post, I was just being funny. I truly didn't even know he WAS in fact Asian, but "Lee" can certainly invoke such an assumption.
And the fact that he IS Asian, makes our once great country look like a bunch of entitled, whiny, butt-wipes. |

I think sportscaster Lee should lawyer up and file a discrimination suit against ESPN for using his family name to pull him off his job and putting that name in a negative light! Years ago, I saw a boss get fired for belittling an employee's name...
