ESPN's decision to remove broadcaster Robert Lee from the University of Virginia's football season opener because he has the same name as Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee backfired.
The network said in a statement that the decision was made "as the tragic events in Charlottesville were unfolding, simply because of the coincidence of his name."
As soon as ESPN made their announcement, viewers shared their outrage on social media.

I've been trying to find a Confederate General named Beth Mowins so ESPN will take her off the air.
