ESPN has fired one unnamed employee and suspended ESPNews anchor Max Bretos for using the term ‘chink in the armor’ in reference to an Asian-American NBA player. ESPN announced Sunday that it has fired the employee responsible for using the aforementioned term in a headline about Friday’s Hornets/Knicks game. The headline appeared on the mobile and tablet editions of ESPN.com, with a picture of the player — Knicks guard Jeremy Lin — accompanying the headline on some versions.
