Let Them Hoop: How a race scare in Victoria has left a basketball team with nowhere to play
The South Sudanese Basketball Association is one of Australia’s most successful basketball organisations, with star players including Thon Maker who plays in the US NBA.
Yet racist scares of so called “African gangs” in Victoria have prevented this organisation from finding a venue to hold their annual Summer Slam Tournament. This is the second time in the past two years this organisation has been forced to cancel a tournament.
We were joined by Dr. Keith Rathbone, lecturer of Sports History at Macquarie Uni to learn more about what the cancellation of this tournament represents.
