Sylvain Francisco, the 27-year-old player of the French national basketball team, admitted that people reacted very negatively to the incident involving him in the Eurobasket game against Slovenia (103:95).
Idman.biz reports that Francisco shook hands with Slovenian Luka Dončić at the end of the match, and then made a two-point shot. This immediately angered the Slovenian representatives, who approached Francisco with claims.
"To be honest, I can't find the words. I think this (such behavior) is absurd. Especially when adults who have nothing to do with social networks - fathers or mothers - do it. This behavior is unacceptable. You can insult me, say whatever you want about my level as a football player. But I will not tolerate insults because of my race, my skin color. It's hard to bear.
I want to do everything right. I'm trying to forget it, but it affects my mood, concentration in games, and many other things. I didn't think they would affect me like that, but... it really affected me and affected my mental health. I'm just a human.
I can't count all the abusive messages I received. There were about 3 thousand. I turned off the function of writing personal messages to me on my social media pages," Francisco said.
