ESPN fires writer of offensive headline about Jeremy Lin - CNN.com
Comments (View)
Just read some of the comments. Apparently there are people who don’t think the headline was intentional and clearly thought up days before Jeremy Lin lost his first game. The headline writer was just waiting for him to lose and have a bad game to trot out the headline, because he thought it’d be funny and clever, forgetting that casual racism might fly with your friends (unless your friends are Muslim; who’d wanna fly with Muslims?), but it doesn’t go over so well as a headline for national sports news agencies/stations.
