Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the future of sports journalism. New York Knicks phenom point guard Jeremy Lin injured his knee recently. Yesterday, he hosted a Facebook chat following surgery on his meniscus. More than 8000 questions were submitted to the chat from an audience that was 90% Asian and 50% evangelical Christian (Lin is Asian-American and a devout Christian). He was asked to 12 different proms.
At one point, Lin updated his fans on some barfing he had done:
WOW just threw up in the middle of the Q&A lol. time to get some rest but before i go just wanna say much love to all you fans! thanks to you guys who make MSG the best arena and thanks to all the NY media/beat writers for all your hard work in getting information to the fans. goodnight!
43,000 fans “Liked” that update.
