On ESPN there is an editors appology for an offensive headline that was posted last night at 2:30 about Jeremy Lin. Anybody know what it was?

Interview with ESPN editor. Guy is 28 and that quote cost him big $$$ in the future.

I think firing was a little too harsh, honestly. I think you need to consider the fact that he is 28, and "ch*nk" isn't necessarily a common phrase know to be derogatory to that generation.

The writer is either stupid or ignorant. Either way, I wouldn't want someone stupid or ignorant working for me. Plus, the joke was WAY too easy to be considered witty.

I'm 26 and you're an idiot if you don't know that.

Why make a reference to armor? Makes no sense. He's claiming ignorance to save face.
