It is just a global symbol. Swastikas are from Ancient India, it is not exactly the NDSAP logo. Don't panic, guys.

LMAO TMZ is all over this now
NBA Coach -- Is That a Swastika in Your Tie???

Now we're in no way implying that Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott is a Nazi ... but, the tie he decided to wear for his team's media day ... well, let's just say, it went out of style in the mid-40's.

I was a little surprised to see them all over China, but they're used in Buddhism too.

On an unrelated note, what was also surprising to me was it was a Nazi who is credited with saving tens of thousands of Chinese in Nanjing.

There were doubts about whether he was a true Nazi or whether he just joined the party to get ahead in business like Schindler.

Yeah, it's too bad we don't have more enlightened people (such as yourself) to raise the level of discourse on the realgm general board. :lol:

I'd be a little more concerned if Jerry Sloan showed up in that tie for media day.
