Eurobasket 2015: FYROM shows poor sportsmanship in game with Greece

The Eurobasket 2015 countdown between Greek players and their adversaries from the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) proved a success for Greece but was marred by provocative acts by Skopje. They held flags carrying Greek smbols and yelled out “Macedonia” , lifting up a banner stating “Kick Hell-Ass” during the Greek national anthem. Furthermore, they reacted negatively when the presenter announced their official name.

Greece responded to the game on the court, winning the game with a score of 82-65.
