The "Silly season" remains in full swing ...

American communications company ESPN have removed one of their staff from commenting on a college American Football game in Virginia and moved him to commenting on a game in Pittsburgh instead.

This was because his name is Robert Lee - the same name as the Confederate General about whose statue there were riots in Charlottesville earlier this month.

Meanwhile people are sharing an image on social media in which an African-American gentleman is holding a confederate flag while a white gentleman is holding a "Black Lives Matter" poster.

What a world we live in ...
