That's the part that's bulls(p)it. Plus, he's the one that came back and played the race card - same as every other time he's in trouble. "Oh, it's because I'm young, black and rich."
If anyone can take Lin's stats and his situation prior to getting the job and point to anyone else who's done as much in a similar period, I'll gladly concede that Floyd has a point. There are a lot of factors for Lin getting the hype. Race is a small part of the equation. Playing in NY, his education, where the Knicks were at prior to the streak, etc.
There were a lot of reasons Tebow Time was off the charts. His being white had nothing (or at least very little) to it.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with debating. Opinions are fine, but there still has to come a level of responsibility, especially when you are a superstar. Just the way it is.
