I am old enough to remember John Belushi playing a samurai in the very early years of "Saturday Night Live".

When I made the original post this morning, I wanted to word it very carefully & respectfully. I think it's the overall society we're now living in where we all try to watch what we say & how to word certain phrases in this forum without offending.

There was a former ESPNEWS anchor named Max Bretos who was actually suspended for 30 days when he made a reference to former Knicks' guard Jeremy Lin during a highlight of a game that most didn't think was offensive.

A phrase called "chink in the armor" didn't sit well with ESPN bosses in 2012 and got Bretos suspended.

Words matter...And I think we all have to be careful in what we say & what we write.
