Sports network ESPN has come under fire for removing Asian-American announcer Robert Lee from a football broadcast at the University of Virginia.

The decision was made in the aftermath of political protests over a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee near the University of Virginia campus in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Many Americans turn to sports as an escape from the stresses and concerns of today’s world.

Do you think ESPN made a mistake in allowing politics to influence their decision-making in this case, or did they make the right call?
