Is that real? If so, someone's getting fired.
I got the shotgun. You got the briefcase. It's all in the game though, right?

I'll admit...it went over my head until I read this thread. I saw it last night and didn't think anything of it. Now that I think about it, I haven't heard that term in about 20 years.
To be safe, they definitely should have went out of their way to use another phrase...especially when a good portion of their headline feature puns (and a pun would make this very pejorative).
Anyway, more importantly, wtf looks at espn.com using incognegro mode?

I highly doubt if whoever wrote that meant "chink" as an epithet at all or even thought of it that way, but it's mind-boggling that someone else in the room didn't veto it right away after thinking it over for a few seconds. I mean, when I was at the Sun, I tried to write a headline for a story about Kobe Bryant using the word "shine" (I think that was it) and my boss rejected it because apparently "shine" used to be an epithet for black people, which I had never heard of it until that moment.

Indeed it was...weird. The explanation seems like a bit of a stretch compared to pretty much everything else on that list but what do I know
