Former WWE Personality Suspended For Asian Slur By Daniel Pena Feb 19, 2012 - 12:57:28 PM -- Max Bretos, who appeared as a backstage announcer for WWE in 2007, has been suspended for 30 days by ESPN after using the phrase "Chink in the armor" to reference New York Knicks player Jeremy Lin's poor play while anchoring an ESPNEWS broadcast. "We again apologize," ESPN said in a statement, "especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN." Bretos apologized on Twitter, writing, "I have learned from this [and] will make every effort to avoid something similar happening again." |

I am watching the knicks game today and the number of Asians they show after Lin make a good play is just a total joke. At first I figured, maybe it was his brother, but way too many to be all his brothers and sisters. |
