San Antonio – San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Danny Green has
sparked controversy over an ill-advised caption on a selfie he posted on
Wednesday morning.
The Spurs are currently in Berlin to play an exhibition game, and Green
took the time to visit the Holocaust Memorial – where he took the selfie,
captioned: “You know I had to do it one time lol #Holocaust”.
The 27-year-old has since altered the caption to “A lot of history here,
more than you could imagine…very sad/tragic things happened #holocaust
#berlin” but that has failed to stem the tide of criticism on social media for
his ill-thought out words.
Green also sought to diffuse the situation on Twitter with an apology.
Yes, mistakes do happen
