What is it with NFL and NBA players? Do all of them have the same IQ as the Atlantic Puffin? Morons one and all.
Outrage across China after NBA player vandalizes Great Wall with signature

Note to international travelers: Locals usually don't take kindly to visitors who deface treasured landmarks.
Bobby Brown, a professional NBA player with the Houston Rockets, apparently learned that the hard way during a recent trip to China.
Brown, who hasn't played professionally for almost six years, recently signed with the Houston Rockets. He traveled to China for the NBA's Global Game and stuck around to do a little sightseeing after a big win against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The NBA player paid a visit to one of China's most iconic landmarks-- the Great Wall-- and decided to leave a little memory of himself behind. Using some chalk, the pro athelete scrawled his initials into a section of the ancient wall and boasted of his artwork on Weibo (China’s version of Twitter): “Had a blast at the Great Wall of China today,” he wrote with a photo of his signature.
That didn’t go over too well with the people of the People’s Republic. Or the rest of the world, for that matter.
The reaction across several social platforms was swift and predictably biting.
One Weibo user wrote of the scrawl: "Are you proud of your carving? This is a part of world heritage, not the toilet of your home."
