Apparently this photo is controversial

This photo of the Spanish Men’s Basketball team has drawn the ire of many people including the British press which were one of the first to jump on this story. The photo which ran in La Marca, a Spanish newspaper, appears to have each member of the team slanting their eyes to look like; well you don’t have to a Ph.D. to know who they’re trying to look like. And better yet, this was an advertisement for Spanish courier company, Seur, which Lakers star and Spanish player Pau Gasol said “the sponsors insisted and insisted” upon doing even when some players expressed reservations about the pose. Can you imagine how many people had to sign off this ad before it could be released? And nobody was like, this may not the best way to go. Well Seur did one thing right, I now know they exist and isn’t that the point of advertising?
