Dear Spain: You F@#$ed Up

Without rehashing the issue, let me say that this ignorant photo will have very serious repercussions.

Like many of us, I am not shocked so much at the content of it, but that such things happen in 2008. I could have sworn Spain was part of the 21st century too.

Know why these guys are laughing?

Because they can't wait to get on the court with people they may very understandably consider unforgivably racist.

Unsurprisingly, most African Americans are pretty sensitive to stuff like that.

They also happen to be the vast majority of the greatest basketball players in the world.

Spain managed a minor miracle; they made Olympic basketball even more personal than it already was for the US team. 

The fact that the coach treats it like no big deal just adds fuel to the fire.

This is going to be fun to watch.

After the trouncing, after the last whistle, I hope at least one American does the eye gag to a Spanish player but doesn't smile.

He'd very likely quote Eddie Murphy: "Ha ha very funny, motherf@#$er."

I think it would be funny if the Chinese team came to watch the game, all dressed like bullfighters, never cracking a smile. But that's just me.
