ESPN's Spin Control on Offensive Jeremy Lin Headline
Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 9:17AM
ESPN offered up an apology for an insensitive Jeremy Lin headline this morning.
Last night, ESPN.com’s mobile web site posted an offensive headline referencing Jeremy Lin at 2:30 am ET. The headline was removed at 3:05 am ET. We are conducting a complete review of our cross-platform editorial procedures and are determining appropriate disciplinary action to ensure this does not happen again. We regret and apologize for this mistake.
Following a Knick loss last night this was posted on ESPN's mobile site.
For a network that blankets the NBA and a story that is as big as Jeremy Lin's, this can't be good.

Reinforces my decision awhile back to stop watching professional sports. It's a bunch of overpaid monkeys running around playing a game. The industry is likewise surrounded by monkeys. And I guarantee you that the writer and editor responsible for the headline are too monkeys.
