Floyd Mayweather is not going all Lin.
The outspoken boxer who once told rival Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino, to “make some sushi rolls and cook some rice” has retained the title of heavyweight champion of insensitivity by claiming New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin is getting national attention for his race rather than his game.
“Jeremy Lin is a good player, “Mayweather tweeted on Monday, “but all the hype is because he’s Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don’t get the same praise.”
Black players outscore Kobe Bryant every night? Black players who went undrafted rack up at least 20 points and seven assists in each of their first four career starts? Black players go from D-League DNPs to leading the Knicks to five straight wins?
Yes, Lin being Asian is a big part of the story. He’s the first American-born player of Taiwanese or Chinese descent to play in the NBA. That’s different, and therefore newsworthy. There would probably also be a lot of hype if, say, a black golfer came out of Stanford and started winning golf majors. Or if, just hypothetically, two black sisters from Compton dominated the world of tennis.
But “Money” probably never thought of that.

What do you know about Asians, Floyd? It’s not about race, moron. It’s about making a difference on your team. Knicks started winning because of his hassle plays and not because he’s asian. You will always be an ignorant black human being who always thinks blacks are being discriminated here in America or anywhere else. And this is the very main reason why you always act so ignorant when it comes to money. You always try to get attention though in reality you are nothing. DO YOU READ THIS, FLOYD! You are nothing because you never know how to respect people. KAPISH!!!

You forgot the part when Floyd told Manny to go cook him some “dog.”
He lied later on when he said “All I have is love in my heart.”
Floyd’s a racist.
Please don’t return racism for racism. It’s not right whether Floyd does it or another person does it.

My question here today Is how many times have your herd critics of Floyd or fans of pacquiao call Floyd chicken Floyd. Images of Floyd Mayweather posted in a KFC suit like he worked there. If you do your history black folks have been stereotyped as people who love chicken, watermelon, uneducated, and ghetto. I know so many white people who love them some chicken and are plain dumb and stupid. So if whites and foreigners can make there jokes about blacks so can black folks.. Jeremey Lin is nice as hell but he is not no damn micheal Jordan! Espn give analysis and opinions all the time so why can’t I or why can’t Floyd? I completely agree with him that Lin is getting a buzz because of his race… The rookie that plays for Knicks I think his name is sherpert did a hell of a job assisting thd Knicks to win. But his buzz was no where near Lin.. People lets not act like this whole race thing don’t exist. You bet your last dollar if you had to pick which race would have a black president in 08″ you would of picked white. Don’t underestimate any race black, foreign whatever. By the way in 08″ the president elected was some black guy from Chicago , name Barack Obama.
