Olympic Fools...

Last night, (well 2 nights ago, post was written on saturday!) the Olympics officially began in my home and native land. It was a really cool ceremony, lots of nice singing, KD Lang looking like Sean Penn, special effects and considering it was the winter olympics there was lots of snow...I mean rain falling.

Weird.

So just thinking of the Olympics and all, something came at me like a lightning bolt. Rewind back a couple years ago, the summer Olympics were being held in China and all the hype was around the "Redeem Team," remember that? They won the gold and played a formidable Spanish team in the finals and it was one awesome finish, with Kobe closing the Spanish team out in the final few minutes.

All the focus though before that game though was about the Spanish Team and their infamous dumb ass picture before the Olympics.



Look at these dumb asses, honestly, how stupid do you have to be to sit in for a photo shoot like this. Like seriously! Half that roster plays in the NBA, each one of these guys plays or has played in the US and on top of it, each one of these guys has a serious agent who guides them through any of their PR stuff. The fact that these guys took this photo still boggles my mind, I mean look at them! To me, its not funny, or silly, its plain stupid. These guys basically demonstrated their ignorance, and unawareness of the politically correct society we live in.

After the picture was taken and released, it was almost immediately pulled and not talked about. Its amazing what the "higher powers" (cough, cough nike, cough, cough the nba) can do.....


Oh yah their women's team for Spain didn't want to be left out either. Fools.
