[Hey Yo]

What an ignorant #stupidphuck.

[Burgz V2]

you single handedly killed this shit before I even figured out what it meant.

This

Edit: The "lol" in front of the word, Holocaust is grossly out of place though.

[oarabbus]

What does it mean

[ZeN]

What exactly is the problem besides him not having proper etiquette when it comes to a sensitive topic? Doing that is not enough to be offensive, its just crass jubilation over a grim topic.

[Dro]

He's actually trying to show respect to the Holocaust victims he just did it the wrong way by putting it in a hashtag. Nothing more, nothing less...It would obviously get taken out of context...

[Sportal]

All he's doing is saying "lol" about wanting to take a selfie at a holocaust monument...

[SexSymbol]

I don't blame people for getting mad at this as they don't know what the monument means, so they think he just added the hashtag as a reference to the game or something.
I was like them when in like 6th grade we were on a trip to Berlin with my class.
We were running on top of those things and jumping from one to another. I remember having a sudden urge to spit, so I did, it landed straight on one of those pillars or coffins or however you want to name them. People around really had those judgemental looks :D

[J Shuttlesworth]

At least he spelt it right

The problem is that he's showing how ignorant (never taught) he is on the subject in general.

Never a laughing matter.

Why are people so dense? You're ignorant for your poor grasp of the English language.

He's not laughing at the holocaust, he used "lol" because he just had to take a selfie.

[bluechox2]

we are in an age where everything has to be scrutinized ...

[Real14]

ayyyyyy lmao we got the islanders for that :facepalm
that's cold:lol

[kenny817]

Incredibly corny...what a follower you are

[TheMilkyBarKid]

I'm sure his intentions were good, he's just an idiot.
Luckily he has pop to tell him what to do on the court.

[Crystallas]

Yes, but is he celebrating the holocaust or paying tribute to the victims?
Lot of plausible deniability here.

[SCdac]

lol that holocaust was some funny shit ... yikes

for real though, I like to think he didn't mean anything by it, wrongly worded statement, but who knows. they're young, self-absorbed, millionaires who crave attention. For the cats under 30 in particular I try not to focus on their lives off the court (eg. instagram, etc) because it just leads to disappointment in one way or another. Flaunting money, douchiness, inappropriate selfies, etc.

[BasedTom]

This is actually a famous holocaust memorial in Berlin.

Of course, everyone knows about that tragedy and how the German people have recognized this (unlike say, the Japanese and Russians, who downplay their atrocities, which are not as famous as the holocaust)

Pic related is another good monument that more NBA players should spread awareness of (if it has not yet been taken down)

Except Danny Green who thought it was ok to "lol" at.

[Brokenbeat]

He probably said "lol" because damn near everybody takes pictures when they're there, and he knows it's a touristy thing to do (like pretending to hold up the Leaning Tower of Pisa).

Who taught this guy how to spell? Chris Broussard?

[Leroy Jetson]

Danny, what the hell were you thinking? The Spurs are usually so good about not being controversial. WTF?

[T_L_P]

Danny, what the hell were you thinking? The Spurs are usually so good about not being controversial. WTF?

Danny's made a few dumb comments; "sweep the leg against OKC" and talking about staying hydrated during games... I'm pretty sure the Spurs keep an eye on his Twitter at all times.

He's a good guy though. Just not very aware. He obviously wasn't being malicious here. :confusedshrug:

[ArbitraryWater]

Due to the "backlash", he later changed/deleted/re-uploaded it:

Apparently some people didn't know that the structure behind him had a meaning..

I saw a documentary called "The Raping of Nanking", its on youtube. One of the most gruesome documentaries I've seen about the atrocities that Japan committed against China......I heard that they just recently even acknowledge what they did to China. Before then, they were trying to act like it never happened(as far as I know).

[Dro]

:facepalm

[KrizMiz]

uneducated americans, they dont know the history of the world, but they wanrt you to know 250 years american history!

[AlphaWolf24]

Or the Americans who dropped two Atomic Bombs on innocent people. Or the British who starved to death 6 million Indians in the Bengal in 1944 etc. Russians lost 30 million people in the war. At least their crimes were more justified than the others


They F'ed with us first.....

wake up the sleeping bear.....you gonna get Bit



( I actually lived in Japan for a year.....visited the memorial in Hiroshima.....haunting)

[IncarceratedBob]

as a survivor this is so disrespectful. guy needs to be castrated. nothing to lol about the holocaust

[Trollsmasher]

well, guess who controls the media

[SCdac]

Eh, in the history of earth (~4.5 billion years) and the latest hominids (~2.5 million years), the Holocaust was practically yesterday.... 1940's wasn't that long ago, at all. Hell there are survivors still alive... Jews and humans have every right to be sensitive.

[theaussieguy]

**** da jews

[fourkicks44]

Nothing wrong with it at all. He can't be accused of being a denier (that is when the shit would really hit the fan)

[dgaras]

let me guess you people believe that 6 mill actually died :roll: :roll:

[PistonsFan#21]

as a survivor this is so disrespectful. guy needs to be castrated. nothing to lol about the holocaust

He wasnt ''lol'ing'' about the Holocaust you idiot :facepalm
