Shouts of “monkey, monkey” in the Joventut stands

“We strongly reject any type of intimidating, vexatious, racist and/or xenophobic behavior and/or comment in our facilities and in any of the fields where our teams play their matches,” the green-and-black club said in its statement. During the television broadcast, the cameras captured a woman wearing the shirt of the badalona team repeatedly calling the Brazilian Dos Santos a “monkey”.

Joventut, as he explains, has put the videos in the knowledge of the authorities so that they can analyze them, implement the necessary actions and make the corresponding decisions. “As always, the Club Joventut Badalona will collaborate with the authorities in whatever is necessary and will abide by the decisions that arise,” said the Catalan team, which won the match against the Germans 82-76.

«The values ​​of the Penya, Since its founding in 1930, they have been governed by a deep love for sport in general and basketball in particular. An esteem that cannot be understood without the absolute respect for rivals, referees and fans who come to visit us at the Badalona Olímpic every week, ”says the Badalona team.

«Being the cradle of basketball represents a great honor, but it also entails an immense responsibility, to safeguard values ​​such as integration, respect, coexistence, equality, diversity, effort, teamwork and camaraderie that we transmit to the more than 500 boys, girls and adolescents who nurture our quarry “, the statement ends.
