It's a shame an athlete at his calibre denies making a mistake. Whatever was goign through his mind at the time of the photoshoot is irrelevant now. People don't intend to kill someone, it happens and they are punished accordingly. This is a case where Calderon should own up to his mistakes, accept that what he did was obviously inappropriate and give a sincere apology, although it seems a bit fruitless now considering he has been vocal about not understanding what the fuss is all about. He has lost a lot of fans here in Toronto. Trust that you will be boo'd here Jose. We look forward to that.

It's more shame that the people who participated namely Calderon and Gasol have big noses. It is not a secret that Spain has a rich Jewish history but Spaniards with big noses will not talk about it. Big Shame.

Only an Anglo-Saxon hypocrite sees racism in these photos. It is not a fault to have the torn eyes. You are a sick society

What goes on in a person's mind during a photo shoot, and what public reaction is to it, can be two different things.

Daily Horoscope for June 20

Leo

It's almost impossible to pin down a certain person today because they're being so elusive and flaky. They may not even be around, or they might not answer their phone, so you can't make contact with them at all. And if they are there in body they may not be so in spirit, because their mind is obviously on other things, so you probably won't get a straight answer. Better try again tomorrow!
