“Shortly” being 5-10 years later?
While I agree that he’s brought a lot into himself by the way he’s acted and the things he’s been accused of, I don’t think anyone can say with a straight face that the way he’s been treated throughout his career has “nothing” to do with race. The cash-stack picture is one example (especially the fact that people still bring it up, can anyone recall a picture of another player on social media from 13 years ago off the top of the head?) but there are definitely others, some of which he correctly identified in the article.
I think he’s wrong to chalk more up to the race issue than is there and not take ownership for other things, but I also think it’s wrong to say it has nothing to do with it. Of course it does.
