ESPN's headline about Jeremy Lin's bad game.

Apparently ESPN hires racists like Fallen_Daemon to write their headlines.

LOL, while a "chink in the armor" is an old expression I have heard a lot is does seem racist in this case.

"Chink in the armor" (A Jeremy Lin post) |
At ESPN we are aware of three offensive and inappropriate comments made on ESPN outlets during our coverage of Jeremy Lin.
Saturday we apologized for two references. We have since learned of a similar reference Friday on ESPN Radio New York. The incidents were separate and different. We have engaged in a thorough review of all three and have taken the following action:
• The ESPN employee responsible for our Mobile headline has been dismissed.
• The ESPNEWS anchor has been suspended for 30 days.
• The radio commentator is not an ESPN employee.
We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN. Through self-examination, improved editorial practices and controls, and response to constructive criticism, we will be better in the future.

ESPN is f****** retarded, this incident didn't prove to me how retarded they are, I knew long ago.
I stopped watching ESPN last year at the peak of Tebowmania, enough is enough.

ESPN, like any news source, feeds on what the majority of the public are interested it any any given time.
Both Tebow and Lin are some of the most polarizing figures in sports, so it only makes sense to focus on them.
Everything is opinion, and take it with a grain of salt. Some people get way too worked up about isht.

The coverage of Lin is just ridiculous, it's not just ESPN. I'm watching ABC right now as the Knicks take on the Mavericks, and the pre game intro described Lin as "the legend".
Yes..the legend who led his team to 7 of 8 regular season wins. They'll build a statue of him in Central Park for this.
F****** New York fans, I hate them. Most ridiculous sports fanbase ever.

Wow, and this is not deleted?
Mods, I thought racism was heavily frowned upon here. "Chink" is over the line imo.
