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

[WarriorSoul]

Why does Floyd get a free pass when it comes to racist remarks like this? It's seems to be trending for him, you can only apologize so much when it comes to bigoted remarks. If it was an Asian basketball player making racist remarks to Mayweather, he'd be lynched by the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons. He'd be either fined or suspended by the NBA. Enough is enough.

I hate to say it, but it's not just Floyd. Yesterday an African American writer wrote a racial stereotype that would have gotten anybody else fired... also his half baked excuse was ******ed.

you dudes are funny!!...do you know the definition of BLACK...look in your Websters dictionary and see what it says...how the hell can a African American author ruffle your feathers when the dude who authored and produced your dictionary doesn't?!?...I don't get it!!!

Floyd said something that was kinda lame but it was FAR from racist....it seems dudes need to try to justify their racist ass behavior...lil' semen sippers!!!..GTFOH!!

8 turnovers and almost losing to the toronto craptors is not impressive at all sorry

Despite those turnovers and struggles early in the game, he took control at a time when the Raptors were falling apart. . He also hit the game-winning three-pointer shot with just 0.5 seconds on the clock. He scored 27 with 11 assist. The kid is the real deal.

Lol at all the haters in here. Not everyone can play a perfect game not even mj, what counts is how Lin was able to regain control and won it with a 3 point shot. There's nights when Kobe hella struggle then comes out and hit the game winning shot. In boxing if a boxer struggles in the early rounds then comes back and KO his opponent u guys will be all over his nutts Saying that's what champions are made of so why u guys hating on Lin??

[PACsmash]

The fact That Lin didn't play well in the early half then comes back and took the game winning shot just shows u where this kid is at and how strong minded he is. Some players if they struggle they will play like that for the rest of the game. Lin was able to come back and took the game winning shot and a 3 pointer just shows u he's got it.

P.s. 6 straight wins since Lin started, u gonna sit there and tell me the ny nicks winning doesn't have anythig to do with him?

Its so sad

Fans create names like, Linsanity and Lincredible for Jeremy Lin

while

fans call Floyd Jr, Floyd Merriweather and Floyd Gayweather, among other unrepeatable names.

I cant help but to feel bad for the guy.

where is the racist remark?

if years ago someone famous or in the public eye said "the williams sisters are good but they are only getting hype cuz they're black", dont you think they would have been criticized for being racist?
