So now we all hate on Mayweather because of his comment?

I can't say I disagree with Mayweather but he should not have said what he did.

Uh no. You would be down on the ground after he counts 1. Defend yourself at all times.

hate on motormouth because he is a big flapping bag of vinegar and water mix. its not this comment, its every comment, its his attitude, its the fact he beats chics, its the ridiculous racist rants he has posted up on youtube, and the comments he makes all the time about all sorts of people. this is just one in a long list.

pretty much motormouth is an idiot, even with his comments about lin. im not on the lin band wagon but his asian race is only a small part of it. i mean motormouth says black players do the same thing all the time, well when/who was the last undrafted black player to out play kobe, AND to blow up s rookie of the year/#1 draft pick? lin is the 1st player in something like 30years or so to score more then 20 through his 1st 5 starts of his career. so once again it has little to nothing to do with his race and more to do with his freak blowup.

I don't hate mayweather, I just think he's an idiot.

And no, it's not just because lin is Asian....he is a D-league player that got a chance to play and made the most of it. I mean seriously....a SCRUB...has 4-5 20+ point games for a bigtime franchise that had been struggling. This story is HUGE and helped greatly by him crediting his teamates and so forth.

Lastly, mayweathers comments are racist. I get sick and tired of people like him making comments disparaging other races, gays etc. and then playing it off that it's *ok* for them to make statements like that because their race gives them a free pass....hence why he is an idiot.

P.S. You are right mayweather would knock me out after 1, he probably get's frustrated after that number.

lol, and yet everyone knows steve austins "tough guy" act is just that, an act. motormouths "act isnt an act at all that is him daily, in his life he is that big prick.

and on the other side, not everyone hates motormouth, but a lot of us do, and a lot of us believe he brings that on himself daily.

A bit cocky, yes. An idiot, no. I don't see how anyone undefeated in boxing is an idiot no matter how much you hate him.

They weren't "racist". The comments made to Manny from Mayweather were racist.

I actually agree with what Mayweather said but he should have worded it better.

Yes, race is a big reason why they are blowing up Lin so much.

Asians are not expected to play basketball this well. So when Lin started doing well, the media blew it up like it was the second coming of Christ.

Btw, I am a huge Jeremy Lin fan.
