Following the race controversy, Madame Schröder circulates inflammatory news content
In a regrettable incident during the EM group game, National team captain Dennis Schröder was racially abused with monkey chants. The abusers were identified via security camera images, leading to their subsequent ban from further tournament games.
The abusive chants were traced back to Lithuanian fans, with two individuals being ejected from the arena based on the footage. One of these individuals was subsequently banned from the tournament.
Dennis Schröder, an NBA pro, expressed his disrespect and non-acceptance of such behaviour. He made a statement on MagentaSport, sharply condemning racism and calling for unity in sports.
His wife, Ellen Schröder, has also been vocal about the issue. She wrote on social media that harassment is everywhere, especially when one is in the public eye. Ellen has also spoken out against hate comments on her Instagram account.
In a show of support, Ellen Schröder has received backing from her husband, Dennis, who has been standing by her side amidst the backlash. The incident serves as a reminder of the need for continued efforts to combat racism and promote inclusivity in sports and society at large.
