The president of the Spanish club Burgos Felix Sanchez provoked a scandal after the team’s match with Fuenlabrade in the Spanish championship (66:83).
After the defeat, Burgos lost their chances to stay in the top division, and the rivals retained their residence permit due to this success. After the meeting, Sanchez knelt in front of the fans and forced his team’s players to follow his example, which they eventually did.
What happened had a wide resonance in Spanish basketball. The opinion was shared, in particular, by Manreza’s head coach Pedro Martinez.
“You shouldn’t apologize when you lose. Professionals don’t do that,” Martinez said, posting the corresponding post on his social networks.
