But it's because of the racial implications which is why America is where it is at today. If you can prove yourself, work hard, and seize the opportunity, you will have success.
With that said, LIN will be under scrutiny because of what this has become. He cannot escape this nor deny it. He'll have to fight it and prove it. The media is able to twist everything in LIN's direction because it is "EASY". Gone are the days of fabricated rumors, gone are the drama stories we have seen night in and night out. We are now in with an easy story because LIN's story is fresh.
As with anything this thing will turn into a racial facade in no time. LIN must be humble, but I don't see it, and whether he is PLAYING THE HUMBLE CARD or ACTUALLY HUMBLE are two diff't things. As of late, I think he'll have no choice but to be humble because of the attention he has created.
He has a long way to go, but I would wish he would stop w/ all the excessive antics and just play the game.
What the !#$% are you talking about?
