ESPN Uses Racial Pun
Written by playerpress.com, Saturday February 18 2012
ESPN continues to amaze me. This time the major sports network used a racial pun in describing the recent New York Knicks loss and they used it twice both as a headline and on air.
With the recent Lin-Sanity during the Knicks seven-game winning streak the network tried to be either funny or cute in using the headline “Chink in the Armor,” on ESPN.com after Jeremy Lin committed nine turnovers in the streak ending loss.
Even after the headline caused an uproar, it was used again live on ESPN Network.
