ESPN Apologizes for Racist Headline (world, broadcast, race, against)

[nightflight]

ESPN used a shockingly racist headline "C.hink in the Armor" for the Knicks' loss Friday night, along with a picture of Jeremy Lin, who is an Asian-American. The headline was eventually removed, and ESPN issued an apology late this morning.

Ehhh....oversight. This can happen when a word is a homonym. Not a big deal. Issue an apology and move on.

Keith Hernandez once called Kaz Matsui the '***** in the Mets' armor' during a broadcast. I don't think he meant anything by it.

You're certainly forgiving when it isn't a slur against blacks.

I'm sick of this PC world. It wasn't racist. I wish somebody would stand up to the idiot race baiters.

I see you have no comment about the ESPN stupidity. No shock.
