That headline was inexcusable, and there's no way it was an accident. We're talking about the premier sports network on the planet, not some local high school project.

It shouldn't be looked at lightly at all. Sure, it's a common saying but you have to know much better than that.

I think the espn guy on air was wagered by his co-workers to say it on air.

If they would have called a black dude by a different name, how you think that would be perceived?
A derogatory term is a derogatory term. Socially, with your boys, whatever.
On national television? Not acceptable.
If someone mentioned a black dude like that, it wouldn't just be "an error in judgment."
When you talk like that, it comes naturally. Unless they think they're really clever with the pun, it's pretty blatant.

Racist headline almost went over my head
That's incredibly racist. Especially coming from ESPN but I'm not really surprised that it'd be them that would be the first to !%%* up on that level.
