Paris Olympics: 'I Am Attacked Because I Am Black', German Flag Bearer Dennis Schroder Speaks On Racism
The FIBA World Champions: The 2023 FIBA World Champions, Germany, are set to continue their dominance on the international stage at the Paris Olympics. Basketball team captain Dennis Schroder, who was named as the country’s flag bearer, spoke out how he has dealt with racism for most of his career.
"I am attacked because I am black, my wife Ellen because she is with a black man. But there is one thing that is important for me to emphasise. I don't just see myself in the role of flag bearer because I am black and can therefore make a statement against racism. I also see it as an award for the achievements of the national basketball team in recent years," said Dennis to German outlet Spiegel Sport.
The FIBA World Champions will not have an easy task ahead of them in the Olympics as they face a number of NBA stars all of whom will be playing for their country, in the likes of Lebron James, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Stephen Curry, to name a few.
