Respectfully acknowledges Schröder: "Kudos to him" (from basketball friend Theis)
In a show of unity, basketball player Daniel Theis has condemned the racist taunts experienced by his teammate, Dennis Schröder. The incident occurred during a media round in the German team hotel in Tampere, Finland, after the EM game between Germany and Lithuania.
Schröder, a World Champion basketball player, reported experiencing monkey noises during the game. He made his statement regarding the racist taunts in Finnish Tampere, expressing that such behaviour does not belong in sports. He added that he does not respect or accept monkey noises as an insult.
Theis, who has known Schröder for decades, praised his teammate's mental strength and his response on the court. He likened Schröder to family and friends, stating that they stand behind him fully. Theis also expressed that it was "shitty" that Schröder had to experience racist taunts.
In response to Schröder's resilience, Theis believes that he will answer the taunts with his performance on the court. Theis did not specify a particular incident or game in his statement, but his admiration for Schröder's reaction on the court was clear.
Schröder's stance on the racist taunts remains unchanged, as the extract does not contain any new information about his response. The specific racist taunts or their location also remain undisclosed.
Despite the unfortunate incident, Schröder's achievements continue to shine. As a World Champion, he has proven his skills and determination on the court, and this incident will not diminish his impact on the game. The German basketball team's solidarity and support for Schröder serve as a reminder that such behaviour will not be tolerated.
