The topic of racism and racist taunts in sports has come to the forefront in recent weeks in light of the experiences of Orioles outfielder Adam Jones at Fenway Park just a few weeks ago. Jones speaking out about the taunts that he faced from fans has given rise to multiple players across sports speaking out about the racist heckling they have faced in their careers. The latest to do so is Brooklyn Nets point guard Jeremy Lin.
Speaking on his teammate Randy Foye’s Outside Shot with Randy Foye podcast, Lin said that while he’s faced his share of taunts at the professional level, nothing has compared to what he faced while playing in college for Harvard from 2006-2010.
