2008 Summer Olympics Spanish basketball team 'slanty-eye' photo incident
Both men and women 2008 Summer Olympics Spanish basketball teams were a part of the 'slanty-eye' gesture photo incident that took place before the Beijing Olympics. The photo was a feature ad as a newspaper spread in Spain, showing all players using their fingers to apparently make their eyes look more Chinese (Epicanthic fold ) on a basketball court adorned with a Chinese dragon . The photo was part of a publicity campaign for team sponsor Seur and was used only in Spain.[ 6]
"It was something like supposed to be funny or something but never offensive in any way", said forward Pau Gasol . "I'm sorry if anybody thought or took it the wrong way and thought that it was offensive."[ 7]
Guard José Calderón said the team was responding to a request from the photographer. "We felt it was something appropriate, and that it would be interpreted as an affectionate gesture", said Calderón. "Without a doubt, some ... press didn't see it that way."[ 8]
