Jeremy Lin and ESPN

Several days ago there was a prejudice happened in the newspapper. It said:Jeremy Lin has sadly gotten negative attention after an ESPN writer penned a racist comment about the talented Asian-American player.The offensive term a “chink in the armor” was used to describe the American-born player with Tainwanese parents who has taken the NBA world by storm in his first few weeks as a starter for the New York Knicks.

I think that this reporter is very bad. It hurts Jeremy and all the Chinese people. My mom said that “Chink” is a bad word to Chinese people. ESPN said sorry and fired the reporter. Many people blamed ESPN did a bad thing. So this prejudice act harms Jeremy and ESPN itself.
