There goes her job!

Not good at all....

She said "nakers." There's a clear hard 'k' sound.

Also, Grabien is not a great source:

Oops...

Let's see how it plays out, shall we?

Seems like it played out, @TheLonelySquire.

She kluged "Knicks" with "Lakers" during a brain fart and said "Nakers". She'll probably get fired. That's too bad and it shouldn't be, but that's probably what will happen and that's the world we're in now.

She's already explained this and apologized on Twitter but I doubt it will matter.

I was about to post that she may have been thinking Knicks and meant to say Lakers. Which would have come out Knickers/Nickers which could sound like the racist term.

Wassamatta, Church Lady? Couldn't find any other male cashiers wearing nail polish?

I hear it as "nakers" but damn if she's not already being roasted for saying the other word.

I don't think she'll lose her job though.

Watched the video, she definitely said "Nakers". Just guess to show that someone will always find something to get offended about.

I heard "Nakers" but it was obviously combining the Knicks with the Lakers. Tempest in a teacup

yes I thought about that too - I'm thinking a lot of people did!

Autocorrect on phone.

I'd argue that the BBC's fuckup is worse.

okay I just watched the BBC video twice - what am I missing here? What did the BBC do that I'm not noticing? Bear in mind I am not a basketball fan so maybe they got a sports related fact wrong or something.

In a story about Kobe Bryant they showed highlights of a completely different player who happens to play for the Lakers (LeBron James).

Not only sloppy, lazy work, but opens them up to "they all look alike" criticisms.

It took me three times because I watched the small window @shootER posted. When I enlarged it, I saw the problem. Watch the large video, and look at the back of the man's jersey.

oh - then I probably would have never noticed that. Yes now I see the "James" on the back of Lebron James shirt.

Yeah, we know.

Still, an editor working with a big HD monitor should've been able to tell the difference. Especially since their jersey numbers are fucking different.

if you're not a basketball you'd never catch that. But yeah the name on the shirt was a dead giveaway.

Anyone with even marginal intelligence would be able to tell that it's two different people.

They don't even look alike.

Like I said. Even marginal intelligence.

Time to fire TLS.

Aimed at wherever Dinner is hiding.

I wasn't offended. I thought it was funny. Big difference.

Probably not something @oldfella1962 would pick up on because he's not a fan of ball games. I didn't get it because I'd never heard of Kobe Bryant before yesterday.
