Jeremy Lin rips Trump for empowering racism with talk of Chinese Virus

My first thought was "Is this guy kidding?" Then I looked up his name and found out he sold his freedom out to China and he now plays for the Beijing Ducks so could the possibly exist they forced him to say this? His family is from Taiwan BTW.

what a disappointment
One thing I noticed when reading his Wiki entry some time ago, was all the space devoted to ‘racist’ incidents
It was a substantial part of his ‘bio and included some really minor alleged incidents

Post 13 needs a like.
Also, why are the media paying attention to sports figures? Do they work in healthcare when not playing sports? How are they experts?
