The recent match between Ionikos and AEK for the 17th game of the Basket League was late to start, due to a banner that was “raised” by Nicaeo fans, about the tragedy in Tempi.
With the referee of the match asking to come down, Loukas Mavrokephalidis disagreeing and we arrive at today’s announcement by the Amateur Ionikos, in which the relevant explanation is given for… everyone and everything.
The relevant announcement in detail:
“A banner entered by the ORGANIZED. For every banner that goes up and especially for those that also have non-sporting ramifications like the current one or last year’s for the murder of Alkis Kampanos and so on. this action has resulted from consultation and co-decision. The world of the Ionian that hangs any banner is ready and knows how to take on any responsibilities. And as has been the case until now, and as will be the case forever, every banner that goes up in the fields of the Ionian, there is no way that any suggestion can be made that it should come down with our consent. More generally, because it is probably time to re-introduce ourselves, the people of the Group come from a popular district that has never been party-related to any political faction. This is who we are.
As for the content, it was nothing but reality, without rounding and generalities. It is so shocking what has happened that there is no room for any political correctness at such a time. Those who were “hurt” by what was written should solve it themselves, they are definitely in the wrong direction.
As for the commissioner and the referees who showed particular zeal for the banner to come down, let’s tell them that no job is shameful. But even in this, there are limits. Let them not be humiliated.
We close with the one we really need. When he was awarded by Amateur Ionikos a few weeks ago, he was mentioned as the most influential athlete in at least the modern history of the Team. Loukas Mavrokephalidis proved much more regarding this characterization. It is not only that he is a Professional on the floor, always fighting to the end. It is also his morals as a Man. From today, Loukas Mavrokephalidis is Ionian and what Ionian stands for. From today, for us, he is a Nicaean.
Board of Amateur Ionikos”.
