A clever headline in bad taste has cost an ESPN staffer his job.....The reference to Knick phenom Jeremy Lin as a "Chink in the Armor" following a poor performance and a loss was not the brightest move. It was on a website for a few minutes and the Network apologized....
Whatever happened to getting called into the boss's office for a reaming and a "don't do it again". Now someone has to be sacrificed on the altar of liberalism ? No 'teachable moments" for the fired staffer.
As for Lin, he led the Knicks today in a comeback win over the Mavericks.....The 23 year old Harvard grad has been a thrill for Knicks fans.

That's what you get from the hymietown tribe that runs the the media in this country. Oh wait...Jessy Jackson is still welcome on any media in the country.
Political correctness is only flexible when dealing with its own. Its the newNazi way.
Your Ignorance is on display for all to see 10:00pm !! Bias is no longer acceptable get with the program .
It's just hilarious that only the first person who says it is vilified. Now Graham can say it all he wants as a "journalist." Does Graham fit under Bretos' apology too?
