Facebook Twitter Reddit

ESPN has fired a reporter who used the unfortunate term “Chink in the armor” in reference to New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin, a Taiwanese-American who has captured the hearts and minds of millions of sports fans around the world.

The inflammatory phrase was used by one of ESPN’s mobile staff in the wake of the Knicks’ loss on Friday to the New Orleans Hornets.

The ESPN editor fired Sunday for using “chink in the armor” in a headline about Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin said the racial slur never crossed his mind – and he was devastated when he realized his mistake.
