NASHVILLE, Tenn. – ESPN took a broadcaster named Robert Lee off a Virginia football game, because, the network said, it didn’t want to deal with internet memes and all the jokes could come from having a guy with the same name as the Confederate general working in Charlottesville, Va.
That’s complete over-preparation for a completely over-estimated social media reaction.
On the other side of anticipating public reaction is The University of Tennessee football team.
As is his habit, coach Butch Jones and his people didn’t sufficiently consider a gimmick, a slogan or a saying and how it would look/ sound to the masses. Nationwide, football fans are loaded up on trash and garbage jokes, all thanks to the Vols coach.
