A few days ago, a Greek -Nigerian basketball player of Panathinaikos, Thanasis Antetokoumpon (\u0398\u03b1\u03bd\u03ac\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03c0\u03bf), was called \u201cape\u201d (\u03c0\u03af\u03b8\u03b7\u03ba\u03bf\u03c2) on air by a TV show host who supports \u00a0the opponent team. His brother, Giannis Antetokoumpo (\u0393\u03b9\u03ac\u03bd\u03bd\u03b7\u03c2 \u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03bf\u03ba\u03bf\u03cd\u03bc\u03c0\u03bf), \u00a0who also plays basketball for the Milwaukee Bucks, reacted by posting \u00a0a touching tweet supporting his brother Thanasis. Among others, he states that if a famous basketball player who plays for the Greek National team has to deal with racism, life for non-famous , non-white people must be really hard. For the story, the man who offended Thanasis Antetokoumpo got sued and his show will be, from now on, broadcast online.<\/p>\n
