SAN ANTONIO San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker is apologizing for a photograph that shows him making the same gesture with anti Semitic connotations also made by French soccer star Nicolas Anelka this weekend.
The photograph shows Parker and a French comedian making a gesture known in France as a quenelle which critics describe as inverted Nazi salute. Parker said Monday in a statement released by the Spurs that the photograph was taken three years ago.
Parker who is French said he didn t know at the time that it could be in any way offensive or harmful. He said he thought it was part of a comedy act.
The photo surfaced after Anelka made the same gesture celebrating a goal in an English Premier League game Saturday causing an outcry in France.
