So we have gotten to that point huh? I am sure whoever wrote it wasnt quite as narrow minded as the witch hunt club chasing them down... the shit people crow abut never ceases to amaze me. Not like the line has never been used....

Like i said in my previous post i'm sick of all the baby bs too but that was seriously one of the dumbest most blatant headlines i've ever seen (although amusing) and they guy and the company deserve what they get in this day and age. You can't sit here and get mad at the PR police over something that blatantly ridiculous. Your a smart guy, We may not be at "that point" but you know most of America is and fortunately we will all move on from this in about 2 days to something move important like Whitney Houstons toxicology report:)

Agreed... it was a poor choice knowing the backlash .. but it was not intended to be a knock racially.

So I can't speculate as to ESPN's intent but you can?

How do you know their intent? Really a billion dollar company thought it would be cute? Riiiiight... they apologized because everyone's tampons hit the floor when they saw it because people love to cry racism or sexism or unfairness.. that is why they apologized.. not because they intended hate.... please!! They were looking to keep the fire and pitch forks off their campus!

I still say the guy that wrote that article wanted to screw espn. He had of have had a grievance and now hes going to be out of a job lol

No but if you had to guess.. you think the face of sports went... "hey check this out lets see if anyone notices"?

Not a big deal at all to me. We need to quit worrying about someone getting offended over a phase....

Riiiight, I'm sure it was a coincidence that they used a headline with the word chink in it when referring to an Asian player. I'm going to choose to be a little less obtuse than that if it's okay with you.

Whatever helps levy your wanting to stand up and yell partner.. have at it.

God Bless America and how lucky we all are that we can be so outraged by something like this meanwhile most of the rest of the planet deals with real problems like war, famine, widespread disease, etc.
Go Buckeyes!!

i don't see the big deal. Obviously they were using the word "chink" as something completely different from a racial slur.
The wussification of America continues.

I completely agree. This is not a big deal. Obviously he wasn't making a racial slur. Good grief.
