Basketball @ Olympics - Latest Controversy

As a host country of this olympics, I'd be offended if one of my guest nations were to poke fun at our race. I am not chineese, but I am a bit offended by this

http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/bei...urn=oly,100152

Given the quality of the Olympics, specially the opening ceremony, I am really impressed by China's ability to put together such a great show for the entire world to enjoy.

On top of it, Spain beat China today 85-75 in overtime!

As a coach, I would NEVER allow that. Even as a player I would not allow that. However, as an onlooking expat living in China for the past year, I find it kind of funny

It's not just their basketball team. It seems their women's tennis team wants in on the fun too...

The fact that China didn't let Taiwan fly their national flag or use "Taiwan" as their name is enough of an indicator as to how f'd up they really are...

But Spain is offending Chinese from everywhere... According to articles, they're going to Asians in Spain doing that...

I thought I read somewhere that it was a Chinese sneaker company who asked them to pose like that???? I may be wrong but I swear that's what i read.
