On January 14, Beijing time, the CBA officially issued a heavy fine, Han Dejun suspended 7 games and fined 200,000, and Weems suspended 5 games and fined 140,000, which is the heaviest fine in the CBA this season.
In the aftermath of this incident, in addition to the clashes on the field, there was also an unwanted scene outside the arena. Many Liaoning fans surrounded the Guangdong bus after the game and insulted Guangdong foreign aid Weems with racist remarks to cause controversy. According to a netizen posting a post-match episode on Weibo: several Liaoning fans shouted "nigger" to Guangdong foreign aid Weems in front of the Guangdong team bus. As we all know, Nigger is an insulting word.
Just now, Jeremy Lin updated his Weibo, he publicly spoke for Weems, and used his own personal experience to appear and say, calling on fans not to insult Weems. In the end, Jeremy Lin wrote: "If we win, but we don't have to treat others with love and respect, is this really called winning?" ”
What Jeremy Lin said is true. When he played for the NBA Development League, he was publicly insulted by an American player on the court, which injured Jeremy Lin and the league also investigated the matter. An NBA Development Alliance spokesperson said: "We are dealing with this matter and Jeremy Lin supports this decision. Jeremy Lin met with the player to discuss the escalation of racial discrimination and violence against Asians in the United States, and the player understood the impact of his addressing of Jeremy Lin. ”
Because of this, Jeremy Lin has the most say in Weems' experience. It is worth mentioning that the Liaoning team also issued a statement calling for respect for themselves, respect for opponents, and fair competition. I believe that with the efforts of all people, the CBA League will become more united, full of respect and fraternity.
