Now from the NBA and Tony Parker – Nazi salutes called the quenelle. It’s ok though, because Tony Parker is black, so he can’t be anti-Semitic or something.

The growing use of a Nazi-like salute has prompted outrage from European leaders and Jewish groups, with the controversy now drawing in a French soccer player, an NBA star and even, unwittingly, President Barack Obama.
French soccer player Nicolas Anelka is under fire for using a Nazi-like gesture to celebrate scoring a goal at a match over the weekend.
The gesture, as described by the British newspaper the Guardian, combines “a downward Nazi salute with an obscene gesture meaning ‘up yours.’” Known as the “quenelle,” it is widely viewed in France as anti-Semitic and sympathetic with Nazism.
Apparently, the Nazi salute quenelle is becoming quite big with black athletes.
The NBA has become one big corrupt clown show anyway. The league is compromised of thugs (black and white) who try to out-tattoo each other. The league is a joke, and the refs are corrupt, always giving Dwayne Wade and Lebron Wade free throws on phantom fouls. I’m still curious to hear David Stern’s reaction to Tony Parker’s quenelle. He’s what’s turned the NBA into a joke.
