Damn it, My whole class back in elementary must have been racist then, when we made that gesture and singing songs on instruction of our teacher.

The Spanish team was asked to pose for a picture for one of their sponsers. I'm not sure if they were asked to pose specifically like this or not, but really, is it that big of a deal? It seems to me that everyone's treating it as the bad joke that it is and nothing more.

Wait, when did we start caring about the Spanish again? Did I time warp back to 1660?

If it was Team USA the outrage would be through the roof and they would get the boot.  That much I'm sure of.  Since they aren't Team USA nothing will happen, in fact they've already declared they aren't going to do anything.

Honestly, I think this is pretty minor, although it would be interesting to see what would happen if the story were actually published in China which, AFAIK, it hasn't been alowed to be published.

Team USA isn't that bloody stupid.

*knocks on wood*

Team USA is full of multi-millionaire NBA players with hundreds of millions of dollars on the line in sponsorships.

Like I said, they're not that bloody stupid.

True, but that's partly because they know what would happen.

Spain....the same country who hurled monkey abuse at Shaun Wright Phillips when England played them in Spain.

Sickening
