VDL (100.5): FIBA has reportedly taken a decision to suspend for four year’s the Lebanese national basketball team’s participation at international tournaments.
The Lebanese Federation did not confirm or react to this decision but there’s no denying that we deserve this ban. The Lebanese Federation is a disgrace and needs to resign immediately specially after the flagrant financial scandal. I only feel bad for the players and the fans but I am almost sure we can reduce or remove this suspension once we have a decent federation and proper regulations to keep politics away from the sport.

What about the fact that the owner of Amchit club, to which the first verdict was in favor of, is connected to the Lebanese President?
kirmelna 3am nitbahdal bkawnna lebanese. All the scandals, the crimes (as the one we heard of yesterday), the football scandal with Qatar, and now this. We used to take pride in being Lebanese, but after what has come, I just want ANY other passport.
Remembering that, some time ago, we played the World Championship … Everything is going backward in this country… Shame. We had enough. Everything is corrupted, everything is degrading, everything is instrumentalized … We are the one who need a revolution.
Isn’t that weird.
– We keep on chanting Democracy and we extend our parliament term…
– We praise our 21 confessions and we reject civil marriage
– We are more than 7 Millions abroad, and we treat foreigners as animals, if not worse
– We advertise the beaches and the mountains while they are contaminated/ private and full of stone quarries respectively
– We Love Lebanon but we do not know the Lebanese Anthem
– We are Phoenicians for the west to distinguish us from Arabs, we are Arabs for Arabs to get their money, we have Europeans features for Europeans to host us
– We keep on praising the past and advertising it (Lebanon the green, Switzerland of the middle east, ). Stupid us. None of that is true.
We became with time incredibly permissive, as if we accepts others infractions and violations (corruption, manipulation, public money stealing) just because our turn may come and we will do the same. WTH …
this blog is a disgrace! what a biast one-eyed article!
Amshit and the mediocre presidential support are the only ones to blame!
It’s true that the Lebanese fed is the worst in the history of bball but the fact that amchitttt and moutahid when to the Lebanese court instead to go to the FIBA (knowing that they will loose it) !!! Shame in them first ! Rip leb bball
What about all this weird silence from the concerned minister ? Hadan seme3lo sawto ? I don’t go on cursing and saying lebanon is not good, all what’s happening is because of corrupted people being affected by politics and personal interests… Once those scumbags are gone , we can restore what we lost ! But the question is, when and who will remove them ??!
The answer is never & nobody.
In Lebanon, politicians and “leaders” are like shark’s teeth – if this lot fall, there is another, exactly the same lot ready to take their place and do the same damage.
