-- 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."

Thank you,and have a nice day !

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.

Maybe they all rode together? Oh wrong racial stereotype.

Hmm...Max Bretos has come a long way since his days at Fox SoccerChannel.

His wife is Asian as well. He just made a mistake.
