“Negro di s.....”: this is how a black player of New Basket Giugliano, Raul Lazaro Diaz, was addressed during the final of the basketball tournament 'San Gennaro' organized by Flavio Basket, a company based in Pozzuoli. The episode occurred during the final match with Basket Casapulla of the province of Caserta. The coach of Giugliano, Gennaro Di Lorenzo, promptly withdrew his team, given that the players' spirits on the parquet were heating up and, according to what the coach reports, the opponents did not send a clear message of condemnation. “They only tried to minimize what happened,” commented Di Lorenzo. From the organizing company, Flavio Basket, both through social media and from the words of the management, a strong condemnation for the gesture has arrived.

We dissociate ourselves from the ugly gesture against the athlete Diaz and we also feel damaged".
