And they even said it on tv:

First it was Jason Whitlocks disgusting racialist comment regarding Jeremy Lin's peepee size and now ESPN is taking shots themselves with this headliner.
How racist is this?

It's funny how Lin attracts more of this racial sh*t storm than Yao ever did. You'd think that Lin was even *more* foreign than Yao!

Well that reporter from ESPN won't get punishment. He's reading everything the writers tell him to say. He will apologize but it's the writers that will be fired/face punishments.

Right, because if the N word was headlining ESPN, it wouldn't be a big deal at all
I personally don't think it's a big deal, but I can understand why people take offense to it.

wow, and it WAS a Lin story! I was already thinking when i saw the thread "cmon who cares unless it was on a Lin story" assuming that obviously it wouldn't be. ESPN is trolling.

I dunno about you but the only time I heard someone using the word "chink" is that someone actually purposely being racist. I didn't make a big deal out of it because that just normal in school atmosphere, but in professional level, it's too much.

Right but "Chink in the armor" is an actual idiom
Its not like they can put a headline thats commonly means something else with the N word......
"N-WORD IN THE WOODPILE"
