Professional basketball player Danny Green apologized for taking a selfie at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The San Antonio Spurs’ shooting guard posted the photo on Instagram with the caption: “You know I had to do it one time lol #Holocaust”
The social media world responded with criticism, prompting the 27-year-old to remove the photo from his account.
He later took to Twitter to offer his mea culpa.
I want to sincerely apologize for the insensitivity of my post!
