This is 2012 and we still have individuals who just don't get it. Racial comments against people of color, or against any race is not acceptable especially in sports where fans just want to escape from life's reality and be entertained. Several hours after the NY Knicks ended their Lindriven win streaks at 2:30 am ET ESPN ran an on line story with the title: "Chink in The Armor." The story was immediately referenced in a number of other social media platforms that expressed outrage and was removed at 3:05 am ET.

NEW YORK – A scoreboard malfunction turned into an ominous sign of a night on the fritz for the hometown New York Knicks.

At the end of the first quarter, the JumboTron above the Madison Square Garden hardwood failed to operate correctly – momentarily – as the scoreboards throughout MSG flashed a plus 100 hundred score for the Orange and Blue. Although the Knicks didn’t start that strong, they started strong enough, leading by three at the end of the first period before the New Jersey Nets and playmaker Deron Williams stole the show. Williams netted a season-high 38 points in a 100-92 New Jersey victory.

For one night, the “Linsanity” took a backseat.
