Had a neighbor in Elizabethtown, Ky named Dual Peters in the 80s. Beavis & Butt-Head would be jealous. They always wanted one to score, and one to spank their monkey at the same time.

Unfortunately, people lost their jobs over that one.
Depends on who lost their job. There is a lot to complain about with ESPN but the editor that put up the CHINK IN THE ARMOR thing on the front page of ESPN.com deserved to be fired for that. I'll even give them the benefit of the doubt and say they didn't know it would be offensive, it's their job to know that.

The news station fired 3 producers.

In my opinion, probably 2 too many but that can't happen. And I guess things are coming in on the fly but still. The person I blame the least is the one that read it.
It would have never happened at all but some summer intern with NTSB verified the names.
