We again apologize, especially to Mr. Lin. His accomplishments are a source of great pride to the Asian-American community, including the Asian-American employees at ESPN. Through self-examination, improved editorial practices and controls, and response to constructive criticism, we will be better in the future.

Good on them for taking it seriously enough to do something right away. When we posted about this yesterday, the response was very strong. (ht @darrennrovell, via @AntDeRosa)

My only complaint is that it took even this long. But still, I’m happy to see the company taking responsibility and firing the asshole who wrote that headline.
