ESPN apologized for using a racial slur in a headline for a story on Knicks sensation Jeremy Lin. ESPN ran the headline “Chink in the Armor” after Lin had nine turnovers in New York’s loss to New Orleans on Friday night on its mobile website that could be seen on phones and tablet computers. Lin is the NBA’s first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent. ESPN said Saturday it removed the headline 35 minutes after it was posted and said it is “conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures. We regret and apologize for this mistake.”
