Response to him has been revealing

What kind of an airhead journalist would stick a mike in the face of a man seconds after he has just executed the game winning play of the season? He has now been called a “monkey” and they’ve tweeted and U-tubed all kinds of racial slurs against him. Don’t kid yourselves, prejudiced guys. This young man graduated Stanford with a 3.9. Stick that in your beer and sausages!

By the way, his GPA was a 3.9. That stands for Grade Point Average and means he got almost all As.
