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.
For a network that blankets the NBA and a story that is as big as Jeremy Lin's, this can't be good.
