ESPN's 'racist' Jeremy Lin headline: Did the writer deserve to be fired? (The Week)

[unable to retrieve full-text content]The Week - ESPN still needs to do more: The reprehensible "chink in the armor" headline was only "the most appalling mistake in a regrettable week" of Linsanity-themed racism, says Sean Jensen at the Chicago Sun-Times. But ESPN didn't just use that horrible phrase twice this week; it also used it in a headline during the 2008 Beijing Olympics. After firing Federico, ESPN must once and for all "eradicate that phrase" from its sports coverage. Hopefully, the rest of the sports world will follow suit."Jeremy Lin gaffe shows that ESPN must stop slurring its words"
