Eat It Hard Spain
Really? Still? With China being the host country and everything, you really have to take that opportunity to disparage a country of 1.2 billion?
Eat it Spanish basketball. Eat it so hard.

Are you serious?! Are you SERIOUS!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
My response to this: “Horry Kow! That’s Lacist!” (also, incidentally, the title of Chicago’s premiere Asian American sketch/improv troupe’s current show)
This is why Spanish basketball is not going anywhere. As a side note, the Chinese whupped everyone in men’s gymnastics yesterday. Take that! China is not to be messed with.
yeah but china lost to this spanish basketball team in overtime. blah!
I was gonna write about this for bpr, but giles beat me to it.
Spain has not been a stranger to being racist, “Luis Aragones, the head coach of Spain’s men’s soccer team, was overheard telling his player Jose Antonio Reyes to “tell that black (expletive) you are better than him” at a training session in 2004. Aragones was referring to Thierry Henry, a black player from France who was then a teammate of Reyes at English Premier League club Arsenal,” an article written by Martin Rogers On Yahoo! Sports.
The coach of the Spanish team said that if he referred to a player’s height there would be no controversy. Hey idiot, saying a player is tall is not offending someone’s ethnic or racial background. What a horrible comparison!
And why would anyone think slanting your eyes is a compliment? “We did it because we thought it was going to be something nice, something with no problem,” Jose Calderon told Yahoo! Sports. Do the Spanish not know the history of that pose? Seems like lots of people in Europe need to be re-educated.
and the plot thickens:
one of the spanish players, pau gasol, plays for… the LA Lakers.
check it out: here at the la times.
now, if i knew anything about basketball, i might say something about the lakers and the celtics. but i don’t know jack about basketball.
