Parker is the current president of ASVEL Villeurbanne, and knows better than anyone the effects that measures against the pandemic are causing on the economy of the basketball. For this reason, his message to Macron is very clear: “Without an audience in the pavilions, we are going to die.”
The Gallic President, Emmanuel Macron, has tightened measures given the increase in cases of coronavirus in France, and these measures also affect professional sport, among many other sectors.
Parker asks that other types of measures be considered that do not harm basketball so much: “It’s financial suicide continue playing without fans or with only 1,000 in the pavilions. “
“If this lasts longer, we will die. The clubs are going to die. We cannot play behind closed doors for the entire season. It is impossible“, assures the president of the French ASVEL.
