ESPN's Spin Control on Offensive Jeremy Lin Headline

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.

The decision to omit the nominated songs from the Oscar show had led to an online petition to let the Muppets participate. As of Friday, the petition had received more than 62,000 signatures.
