Robert Lee Pulled from UVA Game For His Name
In the latest bout of insanity ESPN has pulled a sports announcer from the UVA football game next month for the crime of having a name similar to Robert E. Lee.
Of course CNN published an opinion piece saying this was the right move.

I might be mistaken but I don't believe you could confuse these two gentlemen. If for nothing else Robert E. Lee died in 1870.
Pure insanity and idiocy. They found a problem where one didn't exist.
Poe's Law is in full effect.
