On Monday, boxer Floyd Mayweather had a series of tweets about Jeremy Lin.
Jeremy Lin is a good player but all the hype is because he's Asian. Black players do what he does every night and don't get the same praise.—

I'm speaking my mind on behalf of other NBA players. They are programmed to be politically correct and will be penalized if they speak up.—
