I dont watch ESPN -- has there been any negative feedback about Whitlocks joke?

Since you did not quote anything

What about Jason Whitlocks tweet?
Posted on 2/13/12 at 10:35 pm to tigerspin
Well he is right
If he were black or white he wouldnt be getting this attention

I think he's right to some degree, but I don't it's because he's "not black" as he makes it seem. The point made at the end I especially agree with and I think is definitely true

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.

Mayweather is a racist. but he is black so it doesnt count. remember?

Didn't mayweather hurl some racial slurs at Pacman not long ago? Confusing him with a Mexican, telling him to eat some beans and rice. Man I hope Cotto knocks this fools' block off....

floyd is a racist plain and simple.
Posted on 2/13/12 at 11:21 pm to tigerspin
All he's done is play his arse off under tough conditions in New York City, be cool with the media, and be what seems like a generally good guy and he still has people throwing shite his way.
As they say...

I KNEW this what going to be about race as soon as I read the thread title
Posted on 2/13/12 at 11:52 pm to tigerspin
FWIW, I do think he's right a little as far as the hype goes. That said, he's deserving of the coverage with his strong performance so far, but if he was black, I definitely don't think it'd be as huge as it is nationally. Big, yes, but it wouldn't be all over the place.

Except Rush was being complimentary to McNabb in his comments.
I expect endorsements to be pulled immediately.

Not a single player in NBA history scored more points in their first 4 starts.
Not Jordan. Not Bird. Nobody.
Sorry Mayweather, it's fricking newsworthy.

mayweather is an idiot...ya, lebron james, kobe bryant, and kevin durant don't get any praise. 
Posted on 2/14/12 at 5:30 am to tigerspin
Jeremy Lin has scored more point in his first 4 starts than anyone in history. No it's not because he's asian.
Posted on 2/14/12 at 6:33 am to tigerspin
Mayweather doesn't realize the reason for the hype and therefore shouldn't have tweeted about it. He's an idiot.
