The Lithuanian basketball league (LKL) issued a statement for the racist comments made by Lietuvos Rytas president Gedvydas Vainuaskas.

According to him, “more than two black players mean trouble for a team“, EuroLeague has started a disciplinary proceeding because his club, Lietuvos Rytas, is part of the Eurocup and LKL added this press release.

“The Lithuanian Basketball League, as a socially responsible organization that carries out different projects to promote tolerance, public spirit and decrease social inequality, is critical of any discriminatory statements regarding race, nationality, religion, language or gender by any of the league’s participants”.

However, there’s no indication that any action by the domestic league will be made towards Vainauskas and Lietuvos Rytas.
