Yo mama's so fat when she fell over she rocked herself asleep trying to get up again.So what do you do when your ENTIRE national basketball team poses for a picture doing the asian “slant eyes” thing? as a joke? Obviously you fire back with the textbook racist’s response. From the Ball Don’t Lie Yahoo NBA Blog.
Via RaptorBlog, Jose Calderon explains the thinking (if you can call it that) behind Team Spain’s controversial photo: “… one of our sponsors asked us to pose with a “wink” to our participation in Beijing, we made an oriental expression with our eyes. We thought it was something appropriate and that it would always be interpreted as somewhat loving. Never the less some of the European media did not see it this way. From here I would like to declare that we have a huge respect for the East and their people, some of my best friends in Toronto are from China and one of our Spanish National Team sponsors is the Chinese brand Li Ning. Anyone who would like to interpret this differently is absolutely confused.” Oh, wait, you guys were just winking? Well then, that settl— no, I’m still confused.
Spain may be having a banner year in sports, but it seems they’re having a banner decade in race relations. From their soccer coach calling Thierry Henry a “black shit” to Real Zaragoza fans making monkey chants at Samuel Eto’o to F1 driver Lewis Hamilton being taunted in a race in Spain by people in blackface. And let’s not forget the obligatory Confederate flag being flown at every La Liga match I see.
Why? probably because no one has made it a priority to address this kind of behavior. I know that FIFA hasn’t! Oh - they say they have, but they haven’t. The same problems exist all over Europe to varying degrees - primarily because they haven’t had an accute awakening event like we had in the civil rights movement. Even we aren’t completely free of blame:
The USA plays Spain on Saturday at 10:15am ET on NBC - set your Tivos.
