Never mind that the announcer (Ron Darling) himself is of half Chinese-Hawaiian ancestry.
Never mind that "chink in the armor" is common phrase that has nothing to do with ethnicity.
He must be burned at the liberal PC stake.
Once again, the PC idiots reveal their own ignorance of the English language.
“Chink in the armor for Tanaka here,” Darling said. “It’s the first inning he has lost a little of his control.”
Darling did not appear to realize that he had used the slur in reference to Tanaka, who is Asian.

That’s because he didn’t, you flaming idiots.
I like my coffee bla...er African American.
Anything you say is now considered racist. The bottom line is that Ron Darling is not 100% White, so this will be dropped.
of course the irony here is Darling is a flaming lib and a political left wing snowflake (i’m a Mets fan and watch the game...he’s not overt but you can tell by his remarks...Keith Hernandez on the other hand is a conservative)...
When there’s a chink in the armor, the best thing to do is nip it in the bud.
Let me guess: Being that it’s the NY Daily screw loose, probably one of the most leftist papers in the country, none of what you mentioned is in this article, before I even read it I know it will not be.
I am sure Mr Tanaka was grievously wounded and probably will suffer PTSD for the rest of his life.
Yeah, I know. I had to read it over and over before I realized what offence is supposed to be.
DailyNews reminding everyone why it had to fire 70% of its staff on the way to bankruptcy
It is becoming more difficult to deal with weapons-grade stupidity about being offended by this.
He should clean out his mouth with Spic & Span.
That's not a racial slur--it has nothing to do with race.
What?...now if he had said this pan faced rice eatin’ slope head has lost his control .....that may/might raise an eyebrow (I would laugh) or two . The beauty of this group of speech police is that they cry wolf at every turn and it is to the point that most people turn a deaf ear and blind eye to their tantrums at this point . If you looked at the posts I have made on-line since the early 90’s I would be strung up and castrated ...and ya know what I don’t care , I feel the same way now as when I posted the slanderous belligerent rant as it applied to the conversation . To be quite blunt F k em’ they can piss off and leave it at that .
Well, good thing that it wasn’t cold, he might have mentioned that”there’s a nip in the air.”
Oh, and that would have been a twofer if Tanaka was a girl sans a bra.
Puhleeze, someone needs to dump a bunch of Valium in the water supply.
Never mind that when after the game the very first interview was given to Gary Sanchez because he is their star.
He used an interpreter
He has such little regard for his country where he can work for multimillion per year, months off to spend with his family and learn English
He proudly stands there and refuses to attempt English on national TV after a major broadcast
The question on my mind is who do I write to?
not what did Some veteran American pitcher say
The word “chink,” as in “chink in the armor” is of Frankish origin. It’s highly doubtful that any Frank ever met a Chinese or even knew that China existed.
“Darling did not appear to realize that he had used the slur in reference to Tanaka, “
Because it isn’t a slur and we are not going to allow liberals to invent them on the fly for their nefarious purposes.
