Basketball and Politics?

Yesterday, it was a woeful day in Ankara, Turkey. There was an accident that makes basketball no longer "world games". In the Eurocup match between Turk Telekom from Turkey against Bnei Hasharon from Israel, the supporters did embarrassing thing. They threw coins to the Bnei Hasharon's players and terror them. They said that it was a humanity movement to show their sympaty to the Palestina people. They do not like Israel's agression.

In the end, Bnei Hasharon do not want to continue the match. The Turkey's police did well to control the situation and get rid of fans who make the incident. However, Bnei Hasharon insist to not to continue the game, even the game was held without any fans after the incident.

There was nothing wrong about their opinion. I mean, yes, every people in the world hates Israel. No one like wars. However, their method to show their sympaty was totally wrong. Basketball is a game of world. It teach about brotherhood and also there was no border. Yes, basketball without border is the main thing that people need to understand. Clearly, the fans who make coins incident were definitely do not understand about its concept.
