Floyd Mayweather in another racial controversy

[generalbulldog]

He's black. wadaya gonna do.. pure ignorance.. SMH

btw, name one black NBA player who graduated from Harvard... better yet, name one black player who graduated from a real University without some fake basketball scholarship.. lol ok then...

This is way worse than what Floyd said. You think Jeremy Lin got into Harvard because he's a great student? The guy graduated with a 3.1 GPA. I went to an Ivy League undergrad. You have to try to fail to get a 3.1 GPA. Or you have to be way less qualified than everyone else there. But sure, use this as a jumping point to trash black people.

Those of you claiming that his hype has "nothing" to do with the fact that he's Asian are full of it. I'm not saying it's the only reason -- of course not. But to deny that it's part of the story is absurd.

Since you're such a massive Floyd fan maybe you can answer why is he trashing another athlete that's completely from a different sport? He's also accused Jeremy Lin of using steroids also.

People like the Jeremy Lin story is because it's mainly an underdog story. In '99 the Kurt warner story was much bigger, way bigger. So was it because Warner was white or because it's the ultimate Cinderella story?

I'm not a massive Floyd fan and said nothing that should lead you to that conclusion. I said "Floyd's a jackass."

Your Kurt Warner argument is retarded. At the time he came up, nearly every quarterback in the NFL was white, so there was nothing special or interesting about that part of the story. You better believe that if he were a devout Muslim from the Emirates that would have been a big part of the story, along with the normal "cinderella" point.

Yes, it would be great on some level for everyone to be completely color-blind and not notice race. But you know very well that that's not the world we live in. I mean, we have Finito spouting off with racist bullshit in this very thread.

Kurt Warner's story is very much like this story. Undrafted, cut by multiple teams, played in another league, comes in when other guys are injured, leads the team to victory and puts up stats? Sounds familiar? The underdog story is the reason many like the Jeremy Lin story.

In fact that comparison has been used by many media outlets. So race is a small factor. I didn't bring up the race shit your hero did. And let's be honest about you not being a Floyd fan as you claim. lol

Glad to see you backing off of your ridiculous claim that no one noticed that Lin was Asian.

And again: Floyd's a jackass.

I already said Lin's race plays a minor role on the 1st page but not the main reason why the story is big, the cinderella part is. So I didn't back off anything.
