Now that you've seen it, all I can say is...whoever WROTE and whoever AUTHORIZED this to be posted on ESPNs website needs to be fired immediately for being complete f'ing MORONS. The only jobs the clowns who did this deserve to have are $8/hour, burger flipping,and floor mopping duties. Period...

Tell me about it Mick...

They issued a statement claiming it was a mere "mistake".

What a joke.

WOW that's definitely a firing offense right there. Anyone that thinks that was a fun or good idea has rocks for brains!

Did you also see Jason Whitlocks "tweet" the other night?

Sportswriter for foxsports.com.

Should be "former" sportswriter for foxsports.com if you ask me.

agreed. that's something I'd expect to hear form Gilbert Godfried, but not from a sports network personality. the fact that's on Fox sports doesn't entirely surprise me tho. they are a bunch of racists over there.

Did you see the same headline was used during the China Olympics?

REALLY poor choice. Unreal. Though it is an old saying, and means a problem or flaw, to use it in this context is out and out outrageous.

Really bad joke. Out of all the phrases in the world, they chose that one when discussing Lin. Sorry, it was no mistake at all. It is not like it is a phrase that is used that often,

The real sad thing is that ESPN thinks they are 150% right in everything they say and do and that they are "untouchable".

How else do you explain that the SAME bunch of M0R0NS are still working there, year after year after year!!!

My first reaction, upon reading just the HEADLINE of the whole article, was exactly the same as yours, Tony! I can't believe that ESPN would post such a thing, even though I think they've apologized.

Of course it is...well I mean you're not going to hear it FROM ESPN...or any of the other media outlets in their pockets for that matter.
