    I don't know if this has already been posted or not. Just thought a few of you might find it interesting. I was checking my email when I stumbled upon the two stories on the front page of yahoo.


    That was the page. (Two links to the stories below)

    BTW, I know the Kawhi story is something we've all known for awhile now. Not much really new there.

    DG now knows the third rail.

    Don't say, write, or think anything even remotely on the border of "anti semetic" language.

    Now off course if it's on the other foot, that's a whole other story. .. Sterling, Levenson.

    You're right. Danny green gets to keep his job. Sterling and Levenson both lost their teams. Quality analysis

    It's not "anti-semitic"...it's just flat-out stupid and comes off as insensitive. Not a huge deal, and I'm sure it wasn't malicious. Just a bad decision by Green.

    Green obviously didn't mean ill will while Sterling did so not an accurate comparison. It was a dumb mistake but he owned up to it like a man and apologized.

    I agree the initial mention by spurs1990 of Sterling and Levenson was not an accurate comparison. As SpursFan86 said, it wasn't malicious. Just stupid.

    If a no name sorority girl gets nation coverage for taking a smiling selfie at Auschwitz, Danny Green was gonna get national attention for lol #holocaust. Moronic decision.

    It happens all the time. I saw girls doing duckfaces in front of the 9/11 memorial. I can't see this being an issue. Had Green actually said "LOL #holocaust" as the entirety of his post, that would be one thing. The fact that "lol" didn't even refer to the memorial itself is why people are blowing this out of proportion.

    Dude it's just targeted advertising. Yahoo presented you with those stories because they've tracked the fact that you visit Spurs-related sites, etc. The only thing that's "getting recognized" here is a subset of your interests.

    Yeah like I said it was a stupid decision. It'll blow over. Parker doing nazi salutes did.

    Well I've never searched for Jodie Foster, and I wasn't signed in to my email as it shows in the picture (not sure if that even matters though). I know how effective stores and websites are at tracking your interests.
    Regardless, just by typing "Danny Green" into Google, the first half dozen results are about the Berlin selfie event.
    But like I said, I didn't see anything posted about it on spurstalk, so I figured I'd put it up.

    Just came across the Danny Green story on Yahoo a few minutes ago. #1: I despise selfies. Pop, please make sure no one on the team ever takes one again unless it's Diaw toasting wine to you again. #2: What in the mother was Green thinking? #holocaust. That's like lighting the wick to a bomb that will disintegrate the earth and I don't even give a about religion.

    Not malicious, just a dumb mistake/poor decision by Danny. Nothing to get all up in arms about though. Moving on.

    You mean not everyone is getting the Yahoo! ads for the Two Girls One Cup Anniversary DVD?
