^ I'm good with those 3 bullet points. I assume the 30 day suspension is without pay, and for me, that hurts enough considering the fact that it was most likely an impulsive error in judgment (whereas the headline was far more thought out and executed, and being fired is absolutely fitting).

I'm not going overboard and calling this the most racist thing ever. But.. I think the problem most are having with this headline is that it should have never made it through the editorial process at espn.com. No need to argue malicious intent.. espn should just know better.

Just had to look up what happened...
just leave the door open for other things.
Have a question though, how long have people been using that phrase to begin with, especially like that? For a long time, I've heard it as "kink in the armor",
and it wasn't until the past couple of years I've heard it pronounced the other way, and once it started happening, I had always wondered if people realized
what they were actually saying.
