Comments Thread For: Mayweather Taking Heat Over His Swipe at Jeremy Lin

[thuggery]

Does this guy even write his own tweets? He makes it hard to be a fan when he says ****** crap like this that I do not want to identify with. Then he plays the victim role and complains that he can never get credit. Well you can't expect to be given credit when you make your fans start wanting you to get your ass kicked instead of win. I understand you want to play the bad boy role, but this is just nignorant.

wow that's racist

reported.

Yeah Mayweather, just like when people were taken by storm when Tiger Woods turned pro.

in america its different, outside of the US maybe.... golf isn't a highly watched sport like BB,FB,BASEBALL ETC

Glad you were smart enough to read it. When you're mixed race you can say what you want with reckless abandon. So shove it

FMJ played ignorant on Lin's sudden fame (higher mental level is limited only to boxing). FMJ insinuated media bias on black athletes (needs daily attention - with his coming bout with Cotto - more PPV buys than Pacmans). FMJ s ego is bloated (indeed).

This is news?

Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill...

If you have a lot of Asian friends on facebook, you'll know that there's a grain of truth to what he said.

Face it, he would have made a lot less taking on the role of the humble hero.

The villain brings excitement and drama into play.

Face it? Is that your argument? Please, give yourself a little more credit than that. Tiger Woods is the perfect example on what a good or bad perception can do to a athlete. Before he was found out to be a cheating bastard he was the highest paid athlete in the world, thanks to endorsements. How many did he lose when he got caught? Same goes for Kobe Bryant's career when he got accused of ****. Micheal Phelps just smoked a little weed and lost most of his endorsements. Americans love drama yes it is true, but they love a hero a lot more my friend. Any athlete, celebrity, even company and corporations stand to earn a lot more from a positive perception than a negative one and that is not an opinion.

Lemme guess. Lin is on A-side mef?
