4247...ESPN Still To Use Fighting Irish

And Redskins, Braves, Indians.

But chink, as in "Chink In The Armour", that is a firing offense.

Lucas Shaw, TheWrap.com, just dropped the news that "ESPN has fired one employee and suspended another for using the same racist word in connection to New York Knicks’ guard Jeremy Lin, according to a statement from the company.

In both cases, an employee used the word 'chink' in reference to Lin, a Palo Alto native of Chinese descent.

'We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin,'ESPN wrote."

Still no word on the Fighting Irish.
