Floyd Mayweather in another racial controversy

[El Kabong]

Any consulation I think it does have to do with his race. For the last 3 days on ESPN all I been hearing is about Jeremy Lin and they keep pushing the point that he's the first Asian American in the NBA and how much he means to the asian american community and they were talking to them all day about it.

I think no matter what his race is he is the "story" right now and they are going to push and protect him. Because they talk about his greatness and even comparing him to greats like Clyde Frazier and ignoring the fact he averages around 8 turnovers a game.

He's just their hype job right now, he'll go back to being a normal player after another month or so, or when his team faces a team that has a point guard that knows what defense is.

I feel the same way with Cam Newton. Now that is a bigger hype job, since football is the no. 1 sport in America. It's been said he's better than Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. But his 2nd year in the NFL should bring him back to reality. Running QBs tend to be mediocre.

And have short careers.

Back to Floyd, over 1,000 views in 3 days on here! He's definitely got his marketing down.

Well this is off topic, but unlike most "RUNNING" QB'S Cam Newton can actually throw the ball. He's not like Michael Vick in that he's a THROW FIRST QB, sure he's a tremendous athlete, but he's a solid QB with good fundamentals.....That said, Randall Cunningham had a very long career and Cam can throw better than Randall could, and he's bigger.

shza, people talk about all sorts of shit I don't want to hear about....I am no evangelical, but if that makes those people happy let them do it, who is the media to censor or mock them? Maybe the reporters should go on about their beliefs and then have someone mock their value system. Hell this issue has been around forever, baseball player Christy Matthewson (aka 'The Christian Gentleman') didn't even talk to reporters he heard were cheating on their wives.....I wish THAT would come back. Reporters aren't hardly people anyway....the muckraking sonsabitches!!!!
