They are out of control...to think SU was chastised by Dana O'neil back in November

Maybe they let Floyd Mayweather write that headline?

I love it. Screw ESPN. Where the heck is Al Sharpton when you need him? There should be someone screaming for sponsors to pull out of ESPN programming.

Seriously, why isn't there more outrage over this? Chink? Really? Is it me or is that the most offensive asian slur? You're putting that word in the headline? Imagine if Amare's headline was "Jew-elry of the City", or an anti-black, or anti-hispanic word. The internet would be going crazy!

Personally, I'm glad that people are restricting their responses to just calling it dumb, or careless, or irresponsible, and not calling for folks to be fired, or advertising to be pulled. Reasoned behavior should rule in these situations, not the knee-jerk mob reaction we have too often seen in these situations.

that was dumb and irresponsible, hardly careless ... and, trust me, the low-paid upstart who wrote that knew what he/she was doing and should be fired.

My point is, they deserve criticism, and then let their company decide the appropriate response. Not instant overreaction by the public calling for heads to roll. And yes, careless was a poor word for me to choose...in fact, it was careless of me.

What's bizarre is it is probably not as bad as our boy Whitlock's tweet about Lin.

ESPN needs some good competition. They're having it too easy.

I missed that, what was it?

Also, the Daily News headline the other day was "Amasian!" Shouldn't there be similar outrage there?

Not sure if anyone saw it, but SNL did a skit about it to open the show last night.

Something along the lines of "Some lucky woman in nyc is going to feel a couple inches of pain tonight"

My roommates and I actually found it pretty hilarious

Ah, I do recall that and did think it was funny too. Didn't realize it game from JW.

Of course he shouldn't have said it...but if you looked me in the eye and told me you didn't find that funny you'd be lying.
