    I guess that this could be either here or the back room.
    1. USC is under fire from black activists. Why? It's because the white horse that Tommy Trojan rides is named Traveler. Traveler if you don't know was the name of Robert E. Lee's racist horse.
    2. And speaking of Robert E. Lee, ESPN has removed their scheduled announcer from an upcoming UVA football game. The reason....his name is Robert Lee. Oh, and he's Asian.
    Once this kind of crap starts it just snowballs.

    ESPN has been hemorrhaging customers for several years due to their decision to politicize their sports coverage. Hard to fathom how those running the company could possibly conclude that having an Asian-American named Robert Lee cover a UVA would upset their customers. Those running the company must live in a political echo chamber devoid of common sense.

    On the other hand, if somebody could uncover that there were Confederate generals named Joe Buck and Stephen A. Smith.....

    Sadly this has increasing momentum and is only going to get worse.

    Bobda went yard!

    This is just insane. However, ESPN is having to lay in the bed they are making for themselves.

    Most young college "students" can't even guess who fought in the Civil War . Many thought the French fought the British.

    I have zero tolerance for the PC culture or snowflakes in general. Generally speaking, most are stupid lazy people looking for a free ride.

    Not a lot of protests in Mississippi though... which, to me, speaks to George's snowflake reference. I mean, if it means that much to you I respect that. If it means that much to you, then you need to go to the heart of the lion.

    Until they are showing up en masse trying to dismantle just about everything hotty toddy stands for, they're just picking off low hanging fruit and whining in the wind.
