I hate racists, and I hope they are banned for life from visiting any European basketball game.

Exactly. The ban must be for life, not just the series.

Unfortunately @fiba.basketball only banned him from attending #eurobasket2025. IMHO they are inviting him and others to continue with their racist bullshit!

FIBA STATEMENT An incident involving a spectator, who engaged in racist verbal abuse directed at Germany player Dennis Schroder, occurred during halftime of the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 game between Germany and Lithuania on 30 August in Tampere, Finland. Following an immediate review, arena security identified the individual through CCTV footage. This person has been banned from attending any further games of FIBA EuroBasket 2025. FIBA unequivocally condemns hate speech, discriminatory conduct, and racist language in any form. Creating an inclusive, respectful, and safe environment for players, teams, and fans remains a fundamental priority of our sport. FIBA has provided the relevant footage and information to local law enforcement authorities, who are continuing to investigate the matter. In addition, FIBA will engage with the Lithuanian team delegation to inform them of the situation and to support efforts aimed at preventing similar incidents in future games.
