Amazing that a religion founded by a French speaker would be more popular in France.

Nul n'est prophète en son pays.  :P :frog:

Actually, Calvin is kind of a national shame around here, with many people thinking he is Swiss, though French-speaking.

But but the noble persecuted French protestants!!!11

At least Luther gave us modern standardised German.
Calvin, "the Geneva Pope" only created a theocracy in Geneva, not more liberal than catholicism at the time cf. Miguel Servet., while at the same time banning fests and dancing. Not very French at all.  :P

Robert Lee being considered a controversial name and so needs to be moved someplace else is mindbogglingly idiotic. I mean you might as well write the right wing's propaganda for them.

From what I've read it wasn't "this is too controversial, we better not do it" but rather "oh man, people may ridicule you and make a bunch of dumb ass memes - do you want out?"

That's the line ESPN is trying to push, yes.

Do we have any information to indicate it's incorrect?

Valmy's outrage proves that ESPN could not possibly have done this for the right reason.

I am sure it was done for some reason that seemed good in their corporate bubble.

And I am sure that your OUTRAGE! comforts you in your own bubble.  Enjoy it, because this puny story will be forgotten by tomorrow.

Well, if they were trying to avoid ridicule, they failed badly.
