Ron Darling may be in hot water after a boneheaded comment during the TBS broadcast of Game 2 of the American League Division Series Saturday night.
With Masahiro Tanaka on the mound in the fourth inning, Darling referenced the right-hander losing his command and used a racial slur.
“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.

Darling tells it like it is. He calls a spade a spade.

Tanaka is a Jap not a Chink. Leftists are ridiculous.I'd have said that Tanaka is a Nip, not a Chink.
This entire 'controversy' is insane. It was quite obvious from context that the word was not meant in a derogatory fashion.

This is just the latest display of libtard absurdity. For all of you who vote for libtards, can you imagine the policies they come up with, based on thousands of PC sensitive spots one must be careful not to step on? Like being ruled by psychos.
