(FOX NEWS) – Former ESPN reporter Britt McHenry told Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” Wednesday that the network’s decision to remove announcer Robert Lee from play-by-play duty for a University of Virginia football game was “a reflection of society right now and how left-wing and PC it’s gotten.”

“Even your name given at birth or the possibility of a meme on the Internet is a reason to make a personnel change,” said McHenry. “I mean, if that’s what we’re doing here … everyone might be out of a job, especially in this industry.”

ESPN confirmed late Tuesday that it decided to switch Lee, who is Asian, to another game in response to this month’s violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville that killed one woman and injured dozens of others.

The network’s statement said it made the decision after consulting with Lee, adding “In that moment it felt right to all parties.”
