that is NOT cool....they were talking about it during the game today...."Spain didn't mean anything by it....it's a joke"....yeah, ha ha, I'm really laughing....I really think that is out of line....

As a Chinese person, I am offended by it. It's not grossly disgusted, but just annoyingly disgusted. Yes, we know we have small eyes, but it's really annoying when people do that. Even more so when a national professional team, potential olympians, who little boys and girls look up to set such a disrespectful example. Very disappointed. I hope they get their butt handed to them in the medal rounds.

I agree totally dude, Im Japanese and I find it very disgusting.
Lost all the respect in Jose Caldron & Gasol for denying it... seriously how is it not racist??? Its like having the Olympics in Africa and a team full of Caucasians painting themselves black.

Jose Caldron & Paul Gasol are total losers!

I don't think it's racist....americas just blew this **** out of proportion...even the chinese(from china not american chinese) said if an apoligy was really need then we accept it however we aren't as serious about these matters as others......

i have to agree somewhat. i don't think they made it where it was an attack at the people of the culture or anything, they just didnt think before they took that photo.

it's not acceptable, but there not trying to insult anyone i believe. the press really made this a bigger deal than it was like they always do
