It was pure Lin-sanity on Friday when Knicks new superstar Jeremy Lin exploded for 38 points in the Knicks 92-85 win against the Lakers.  Twitter became all about Lin and various Asian jokes were made.  One Fox sports journalists may have went too far.  Find out what he said after the jump.

Jason Whitlock a journalist for FOX Sports, implied that Jeremy Lin (Asian-American) has a small penis.  You’ve probably heard this stereotype before, but as a professional lines were crossed.  Also if you have any history of Whitlock you know he’s like the Al Sharpton of African-American sports journalists so it’s a bit hypocritical of him to make a racist joke.  The tweet sent twitter into an uproar with people even calling for Whitlock to be fired.

Yesterday he took to his twitter account to issue an apology as most celebrity’s do now-a-days but it does seem genuine.

“I get Linsanity. I’ve cried watching Tiger Woods win a major golf championship. Jeremy Lin, for now, is the Tiger Woods of the NBA. I suspect Lin makes Asian Americans feel the way I feel when I watch Tiger play golf. I should’ve realized that Friday night when I watched Lin torch the Lakers. For Asian Americans and a lot of sports fans, his nationally-televised 38-point outburst was the equivalent of Tiger’s first victory in The Masters. I got caught up in the excitement. I tweeted about what a great story Lin is and how he could rival Tim Tebow. I then gave into another part of my personality — my immature, sophomoric comedic nature. It’s been with me since birth, a gift from my mother and honed as a child listening to my Godmother’s Richard Pryor albums. I still want to be a standup comedian. The couple-inches-of-pain tweet overshadowed my sincere celebration of Lin’s performance and the irony that the stereotype applies to pot-bellied, overweight male sports writers, too. As the Asian American Journalist Association pointed out, I debased a feel-good sports moment. For that, I’m truly sorry.”
