As ESPN controversy swirls, Gerry Sandusky can empathize with broadcaster Robert Lee

[hexola]

A sports broadcaster is in the news this week for his name. Gerry Sandusky, of course, can relate.

The WBAL-TV sports director and Ravens radio play-by-play voice still gets misguided comments about name doppelgänger Jerry Sandusky, almost six years after the former Penn State football defensive coordinator was indicted on 52 counts of child molestation.

With ESPN’s decision this week to remove play-by-play man Robert Lee from the broadcast of the Virginia football team’s season opener next week in Charlottesville, where earlier this month a protest over the planned removal of a Robert E. Lee statue turned deadly, I asked Sandusky whether he wanted to weigh in on the developing controversy. I figured he might be sick of talking about names by now. He was not.

I knew they were stupid at ESPN, but not brain dead
