Like me. And I enjoy what Lin's doing, but the criticism/backlash against the sensationalism and hype has nothing to do with rooting for the underdog. Don't get it twisted.
qft
if yall really think Lin is ONLY considered an underdog because of his school/route to the NBA and NOT because he's Asian as well then you're in denial.
Floyd's opinion was delivered terribly and not politically correct but the part I agree with is why is he getting crucified for expressing his opinion when ESPN guys and the NBA commentators are mentioning Lin's race JUST as much
Mayweather's history of racial remarks just makes him look like an idiot but I don't think this particular comment was anywhere near as offensive as people are taking it
