Basketball player Konstantin Konga was berated with monkey lutes at the Ludwigsburg guest performance in Weißenfels. The hosts responded with a four-month ban on the hall for the spectator.



Basketball league team Syntainics MBC Weissenfels has one of his followers after a racist incident with indoor ban. During the match against Ludwigsburg (87:89) on Wednesday evening, the visiting professional Konstantin Konga was vilified with monkey lutes at the beginning of the last quarter.

"I immediately pointed out to the referee, because it was not to be ignored, I'm shocked and sad that something like that happens in the Bundesliga," Konga wrote on Instagram, making the incident public.

The MBC apologized to Konga. "There is no such thing in a hall or anywhere else." Clearly, we clearly oppose any overt or covert form of racism and clearly distance ourselves from it, "said Manager Martin Geissler. It has already identified the person and occupied with a ban hall until the end of the year. The referee had not informed the MBC of the incident.

"We investigate in the case and speak with the participants," said the Basketball Bundesliga. "One thing is already clear: racism, xenophobia, prejudice and exclusion have no place in our league! We stand for a peaceful and respectful togetherness as well as cosmopolitanism."
