Apparently ESPN uses Snapchat features in HD.

She also looks more than a bit like Justin Bieber.

Kate Fagan? What kind of name is that? I am totally outraged and triggered right now. First of all. Kate rhymes with Hate. We can't have that subliminal message out there for people to see. And Fagan? Are you serious? Break that down very slowly. You're totally, totally, totally triggering the LGBT community with such an audacious name towards the LGBT community. I demand she be pulled from ESPN as soon as possible.

I am shocked you believe this. Absolutely SHOCKED!

I will give you a fact. ESPN pulled an Asian guy named Robert Lee from the broadcast because they let potential social media fallout dictate their decisions.

I saw a new statement by ESPN that said they were worried about memes that would be made about him and that someone released the information only to hurt him. ESPN has become a joke.

They merely reflect the ideology they represent.

LOL. This has to be one of the best/funniest posts I've seen in this sub-forum in a while.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

You must have missed the story about ESPN explaining Robert Lee the commentator asked to be moved to a different game and a mutual decision was reached between him and the network. I know ESPN brought it up, but you can see here it was his choice to switch games:

Quote:According to an ESPN executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the situation, ESPN asked Lee if he would be more comfortable calling another game but gave him the option to stay. Lee chose to switch assignments, and ESPN accommodated him.

A transparent attempt by ESPN to save face after their stupid decision.

Read my edit. ESPN simply asked Robert Lee what he wanted to do.

They're lying to cover up their stupidity; it's sad that you believe them.

Would you expect anything less? I have some ocean front property in Arizona she would be the best buyer for.

I never said ESPN made the right decision. I said it was not their decision.

Did you ever think if Robert Lee had rejected the offer, nobody would be talking about it?

EsPN: Bob, we're taking you off this game.
Lee: uh, ok, I guess...
Public: EsPN really screwed that up.
EsPN: Naw dog, it was all Bobby's idea.
JDub: EsPN so savvy, just like they say they are.
Literally everyone with a brain: eyeroll.

ESPN: "Hello? Robert Lee? The ultra-politicized leadership of our organization was wondering if you would mutually agree to reconsider calling this game for reasons that only hypersensitive morons would understand, or be fired for being a racist and culturally insensitive pig."

Robert Lee: "I agree."
