This is what happens when immature kids with physical talents get too much money too quickly and their brains skip instrumental development processes as a result of the glamorous life of luxury...

Can be seen a lot in the sports world, especially basketball...

[indyguy]

Is it the caption that has people upset or that it is a selfie? Or combo?

I don't mind him taking a picture, though I don't know why he would want to take a selfie there.

I really don't get selfies anyway.

Attention whoring.

Younger people simply can't enjoy things these days by just looking at them and/or experiencing them. They have to take pictures/videos and share with all of their friends to get "likes" and then Tweet out to people who don't care. It's a self-absorbed, digital world we live in these days. I say younger people like I'm not one, but it's sad to see everyone on their phones texting/browsing 24-7. Then you end up with brain-dead, bozo situations like Danny Green put himself in, here.


Take some immature chump who has too much money from playing a sport, throw him in all of these luxurious situations and the lack of brain power shines through. He likely knows jack about the Holocaust, or Germany, or anything. He's just a spoiled, immature fool who has been lucky enough to get put into situations due to his "job".


Sorry for the rant. I'm not even this mad about this instance so much, but rather the fact that things like this happen a million times a day all over the world!

I get what you are saying, but look at it this way, at least he is trying to learn about the Holocaust. A lot of people with his type of money wouldn't even think about learning about the history.

I don't really take pictures when I go places, I've always just enjoyed the visual in the moment experience, but that is just me.

[asujbl]

What if he was dressed as a mascot? Then would it be OK because people are just being oversensitive and PC?

You're giving him too much credit.

Likely an all-expenses paid flight to a foreign country to play a game and get paid for it?

If he wanted to learn about it, he'd post a picture of himself reading a book on the Holocaust. And who's to say it was even his idea ... could have been a PR move that he ultimately screwed up anyways...

He's a child with lots of money in a place he doesn't understand and wants to get Instagram "likes" ... don't read into it more than it is.

Well he has a pretty funny way of showing it.

Would you find it acceptable if someone went to a southern plantation, take a selfie, and say. "I had to do this one time, lol #slaves" ?

Yeah, I was just going by the article that said, "Green used his free time to explore." I know they are in Germany for exhibition games, so that part of it was paid, getting to Germany.

[wilsunshines]

We get it, Paul, you hate young people! That is fine, but there's no need to make stuff up about them! Young people do plenty of stupid stuff because they are young! That was true when you were young, and has always been true.

Oh, looking anti-semitic is because he is young and dumb. Never mind the fact he is a young "27" and graduated from North Carolina.

I guess that's acceptable.

[wilsunshines]

Danny Green neither said nor did anything anti-semitic. Disrespectful, sure, but that is a totally different animal.

Recent articles have proven that "graduating" from UNC doesn't mean much. They basically push all their athletes through. Dude is from Long Island which has more Jews per capita than almost anywhere and played from the Long Island Lightning which is a lot of jewish kids from long island. He even does camps back there, I wonder if that will change now. :/

Danny Green is not YOUNG. He's an adult. He's 27 years old.

You can hate him if you want. It's your life.

people put way too much on these posts......... a guy takes a pic at somewhere he's never been and it becomes world news?

he said he had to take a pic one time while he was there and hashtagged it with the name of the place he was at? I really don't see why it's that serious.

people took that wayyyyy out of context, it obviously wasn't meant in a negative way..................

holocaust is not a derogatory term it's the name of the museum........ big difference, not only that, it's not like he would have been on hitlers team to begin with, the association with his statement is being taken way out of context.

I think it's pretty clear from my posts and others' posts on this thread who is being weirdly judgemental here. Hint: it's the one who falsely accused someone of being anti-semitic.

Exactly my point.

People don't know the story and it looks highly offensive.

He wrote what he wrote because he was debating on taking a "selfie."

He was making fun of himself for taking a selfie. That is what the LOL looks like. But, that is just me "assuming" he isn't making fun of the Holocaust...

My guess is that had he not used the hashtag, 99% of us would not even know where he was taking the picture at.

[BBallCT]

I visited the location, powerful. Berlin altogether was an emotional experience.

Hopefully he learns from it (for real, not like ''PR'' real).

[mcgahee21nfl]

i don't see what the big deal is.

should've never apologized. no clue what he needs to learn from.

[rttrffg2012]

Everybody!!!.... Calm down!

He doesn't know a ton about the impact of the holocaust.
He did something insensitive. (Not hate filled)
He apologized.

Pass for Danny

[BBallCT]

i don't see what the big deal is.

should've never apologized. no clue what he needs to learn from.

To me it's an issue of the ''sacred'' being put aside.

There are reasons for memorials being built, one of which being the opportunity to reflect on a particular event (often a sad and regrettable one) and/or as a way to remember those impacted by it.

The fact that he's having ''fun'' and flaunting it there can be perceived by many as disrespectful.

Whether it is or not is up for debate. While I was there, there were all kind of people doing things that could be viewed the same, the point being that him posting it publicly was bound to lead to a public reaction (what goes out must come back).

[mcgahee21nfl]

i find this comparison to be extremely offensive. i have thick skin. but just the thought that you think this is an adequate comparison shows what kind of person you are.

i took only a second to put you off ignore to see why people were responding to you the way they were. bad decision by me

While I agree that he probably didn't mean any disrespect, at some point common sense should kick-in and tell him that it probably isn't the best idea to take a selfie at a Holocaust memorial, share it via Twitter and include the term "LOL" and a hashtag of "Holocaust".

[ninjacookies]

Eh...holocaust is pretty accurate. The 'lol' he could have probably left out.

[Mires]

The dude is laughing at the fact that he can't go anywhere without taking a selfie. He was, in no way, making fun of the holocaust. He was making fun of himself. I'm more upset that he felt he had to apologize for it.

I bet millions of people have taken pics at that memorial and nothing was ever said about it, but because he's with the NBA and spurs all the sudden it becomes a social issue, this is bad as the stuff they do with the NFL, like the NFL is now responsible for every cause across america just because they are the NFL and have alot of popularity.

when people go to other countries and historical places they take pictures, If I went tommorrow i'd probably take a pic of myself at it, when schools go they take a pic at it? this story is so ridiculous. the only way this would be even remotely wrong is if he was a german or a descendant of someone in hitlers army (something to that effect).

they also don't really teach much about the holocaust in school, he's 27 and for obvious reasons it wouldn't have much direct impact with him. it's gotten to the point where people expect other people to live like robots and adhear to all these crazy made up rules, it's a young guy visiting a place taking a pic, nothing more to it.

I don't think anyone's saying he, or anyone else, shouldn't be able to take pictures there (or at any memorial). However, I can see why some people might think a "selfie" is in bad taste. I can also see why some people might consider the comment he made with the picture to be a little off. Something along the lines of 'Paying my respects at the Holocaust Museum... etc.' might have been better.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think any less of him because of this, or even really care, but it's not personally something I would have done or encourage anyone else to do.

[Qwasian]

i'd rather someone be themselves rather than put on some fake front for the public, it's getting to a point where you don't even have a real representation of an athlete because they have to carry on with this BS........it's getting to a point where public figures don't even have everyday ordinary free speech because they get attacked for taking a picture, there was no disrespect by the athlete, it's just wrong to attack him like that, I doubt anyone is perfect in this world.

I think the same would apply to anyone in that situation. Now, would you or I get the same sort of response if it was our Twitter feed? Of course not. But that's just the way it is when you have some form of celebrity status (for what it's worth, I do recall a "regular" person getting a bit of backlash not all that long ago for a similar "selfie" taken at Auschwitz).

The concept of free speech doesn't protect you from people disagreeing with what you say.

If it's magnified, these "celebrities" should have better judgment and think before they "speak" I guess we now know that Danny Green is NOT that bright.

We have all had relatives die in the World Wars, Holocaust, Crusades, Civil Wars, Famine and Disease. The sensitivity and entitlement has grown old. I'm certain photographs have been taken at places that memorialize those. Life is death.

You should personally thank Green. He brought global attention to an atrocity of the past. Shouldn't you be happy? Wouldn't silence be the real problem?

I always pride myself in sticking up for the little guy, but I don't see this as one of those situations. I've grown tired of certain groups always complaining. I've traveled and lived in many places. I've seen the good and the bad. Why do some work to reach their goals and dreams while others complain and blame others?

[dasiegel]

Danny Green neither said nor did anything anti-semitic. Disrespectful, sure, but that is a totally different animal.

As a Jew i agree with this. Isn't Green the one who is like pretty open and worldly and likes animals and traveling and sunshine and rainbows? I feel like he shoulda known better here but I wouldn't label him anti-Semitic, oh and btw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lqNCx8tOes

Danny green was today's official donkey of the day on the breakfast Club.

[Cervantes]

Taking a selfie at a Holocaust memorial - possibly a poor decision...I would think a photo of the memorial itself would have been sufficient. I don't see the intentional disrespect; I just think he's a part of a bigger problem, which is the lack of education that our kids are getting these days, but that's another issue.

Or maybe it's the real issue here. I was taught absolutely nothing about the Holocaust in high school.
