西班牙男子篮球队，在为奥运会集训期间，应本国赞助商要求拍摄了蔑视＂中国龙＂的照片。
该照片在西班牙媒体做广告播出后，引起西方媒体批评，特别是美国的媒体大肆批评这种做法。媒体还特别采访队中的NBA球员，采访NBA老板 Stern，要求表明态度。
但奇怪的是，中文媒体集体＂忽略＂了这条新闻。真是奇怪！按说应该全体国人齐声讨罚才是。
后来俺在比赛中发现，西班牙男子篮球队（还有阿根廷）身穿全套＂李宁＂牌运动衣。不知道中国媒体是为了＂和谐＂奥运而放弃了谴责如此反华的举动，还是因为＂李宁＂牌的面子。
但是，无论如何，中文媒体全部失声，放过了如此名目张胆反华的举动，都是太不应该了。而且人家美国媒体都大举声讨了，而咱们自己却无动于衷，真是莫明其妙！

Spanish basketball team poses for offensive picture

Updated: 4:43 p.m. EDT
Spain's Olympic basketball team posed for an advertisement prior to the Games which appears to show all its players slanting their eyes, a move that could offend its Olympic hosts in Beijing. The ads, for a Spanish courier company, appeared in the Spanish-language newspaper La Marca.
As the uproar over the picture has grown today, more information about the advertising shot has come to light. The ad was sponsored by a Spanish courier company, Seur. Spain's team, ironically, also is sponsored by Li-Ning Footwear, a Chinese company founded by Li Ning, the final torchbearer who was hoisted along the top of Beijing National Stadium during the Olympic Opening Ceremony finale.
The Spanish-language paper El Mundo has a piece debating whether the ad was racist that basically calls out the British press for trying to smear Spain's good name. But they miss the point. Whether the picture was made in good fun is irrelevant. It was a ridiculous idea that was bound to upset a lot of people.
It's baffling that nobody involved in the picture -- from the photographers to the players -- even seemed to consider that this ad would be looked at negatively. Did it not occur to somebody that it might not be a good idea to mock a large portion of the continent before the world's largest athletic competition that, by the way, happens to take place on that continent. Were they not aware of an invention called "the Internet" that allows pictures taken in Spain to be transmitted all over the world for the eyes of everyone?
And now that the inevitable controversy has hit, they're still defending themselves when a simple, "the ad was in poor taste, we apologize" would have sufficed. This story would be slowing down if the Spanish Basketball team had apologized immediately. Now it's just picking up steam.
The Organization of Chinese-Americans has released multiple statements condemning the picture. George Wu, deputy director of the group, said, "it is unfortunate that this type of imagery would rear its head during something that is supposed to be a time of world unity." Response in Beijing has been muted so far.
Madrid is thought to be one of the frontrunners to land the 2016 Summer Games (the site will be announced next year). Could this controversy hurt Spain's chances of landing another Olympics?
Interestingly, the Spanish basketball team took on China tonight, winning 85-75 in overtime. No word on whether Pau Gasol was on the receiving end of any elbows from Yao Ming. The Chinese crowd did have a message for the Spaniards though, booing vigorously during the game.
