Default ESPN fires writer for using common cliche'
This is insane. There was no racism here. The only racism to be found is by the very people who are calling it racism. Grow a pair Asian community and bleeding hearts.

NEW YORK — Both ESPN employees punished for using a racial slur in reference to Jeremy Lin have stated that they meant no offense and did not use the word to deliberately denigrate the New York Knicks point guard.

Anthony Federico, an ESPN editor, posted the headline “Chink in the Armor” late Friday night after the streaking Knicks fell to the New Orleans Hornets. ESPN fired Federico on Sunday after the headline angered civil rights groups and garnered national media attention. http://www.vancouversun.com/entertai...107/story.html

sigh... 10+ turnovers a game is a serious chink in his armor.
