Wang

Currently, Jerry Crasnick from espn.com has a story on the MLB page about how Chien-Ming Wang dominated the Red Sox last night in Boston. This is the headline he chose to go with:

"Fenway sellout sees nothing but Wang"

I can just see how that went with his editors:

Editor: Jerry, that's disgusting, you need a new headline.
Crasnick: What do you mean? Chien-Ming Wang two-hit the Red Sox IN FENWAY!!!
Editor: Jerry, I know, but that obviously isn't what you were going for.
Crasnick: You have a dirty mind my friend. These fans saw nothing from their offense, just how masterful Wang handled the pressure.
Editor: You're doing it again! You're just writing this headline for shock value!
Crasnick: Get your mind out of the effing gutter! This is a great headline! Wang was in control all night! They couldn't touch him even if they wanted to! And believe me, they wanted to.
Editor: What the hell is your problem? What's with all of this innuendo? Why can't you just use his whole name?
Crasnick: That is racist. So racist. I'm sure the press would love to hear about this, Mr. Editor. I can see it now: "WorldWide Leader in Sports-Bunch of Racist Bigots"
Editor: (Scared he's going to get sued) Fine. Run with it.

I'm assuming it went something like that.

That Crasnick over there needs to grow up.
