That's what's amazing.  NO ONE, even the photographer, coach, players, chimed in to say "guys, this is a BAD idea".

According to the article I read today, that's because no one thought, or from what I can tell, still thinks that it was a bad idea. Most of the people interviewed are either mystified about the controversy, or think that it's just the international media making a big deal out of nothing.
Case in point, the head coach, Aíto García Reneses, who was quoted as saying, “If I go to play with a taller team and I put here (raising up on the tips of his toes) it is not an offense. I can’t understand anything more.”

I am not sure how I should feel about that.  As an asian, I am not offended.  Just thought they were silly. 

I think it can put in the "some people got offended on our behalf" category.  Although therem ight be some asians not happy about it.
