发帖数: 4860 | 1 Video of Uncalled Fouls on Jeremy Lin Raises Suspicion of Racial Bias in the
NBA
http://nextshark.com/jeremy-lin-flagrant-fouls/
As an Asian American playing basketball in the US, Jeremy Lin has
experienced all sorts of racial prejudice, especially during his college
years at Harvard. That’s why when he entered the NBA, he vowed to break
racial stereotypes.
“I feel like Asians in general don’t get the respect that we may deserve
whether it comes to sports, basketball, or whatever it might be,” Lin said
in an online interview in 2011.
Five years and five NBA teams later, the undeniably talented point guard of
Taiwanese descent still seems to be battling racial bias on the court.
A YouTube video posted earlier this month points out that Lin has been
experiencing a ridiculous amount of unfair officiating throughout his NBA
career.
In the video, Lin is seen getting hit in the face or head multiple times.
Instead of the referees calling a flagrant foul, however, they only call
regular fouls or at times none at all. Lin is also shown once in the video
bleeding from his nose after getting hit in the face but no foul was called.
Suspecting that racial bias is somehow connected to the chronic no-calls,
the video’s creator included a letter attributed to Jenny & KP Chan and
directed to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver saying, “As fans of the NBA and
its players, we care deeply about the quality and integrity of the game and
the safety of the players… When we see dubious officiating by the NBA
referees, we cannot help but question the integrity of the game at its very
core.”
He also points out how referees’ officiating can be faulty: “Throughout
Lin’s six years in the NBA, we have continuously witnessed Lin as the
recipient of numerous hard fouls with unnecessary and excessive force by
other players. In these cases, the referees either didn’t make the calls or
made incorrect calls.”
“It’s disheartening to see Lin’s mistreatment by the NBA referees. As
fans, we ask you to please review this matter seriously and to take action.”
While the video is making rounds in social media, the NBA has yet to
officially respond. | b*********0
