I hope that guy gets canned. That's completely unacceptable to publicize. Anyone with any professionalism and common sense would know not to write something like that.

I guess. In today's state of hyperawareness that might qualify as racist. But, only in a a way that is received as such by persons willing to disregard the actual meaning of the word "chink" and supplant it with a racially charged slang term for the purpose of sensationalism.

It's creative, but uncalled for...Team loss...not just one...26 pts, 5 ast, 4 steals 9 TO

Yea ok had a bad game....Not a problem...

The Headline was uncalled for and agree that he should be fired, reprimanded but he is not the only one...Someone had to approve it...

It's hilarious - and it's only racist if you're actually racist and acknowledge the slang word... because that's a common phrase used in sports for very similar circumstances. So if your first thought when you saw the word chink was an asian person than you = racist.
