ESPN calls Jeremy Lin a "Chink".
Headline on last night's Knick loss.
Nice "slant' on the story, Bristol.
They've since replaced the line, and apologized.
Un-fucking-believable.
update: the writer has been fired.
Previously: MSG fortune-cookies Lin.

ESPN slide down the slippery "slope".
Pretty linsensitive.
Has it been reported what Lin's slant on this is?
Lin addressed the controversy during a news conference Sunday following the Knicks' 104-97 win over the Dallas Mavericks, the defending national champions. He said he did not think the headline was intentional.
"I don't think it was on purpose," Lin said. "At the same time, they've apologized. I don't care anymore."

Even in this PC crap age, even this one is pretty bad. The writer is a complete dumbass.
