re: Panathinaikos leaving Euroleague

quote:European basketball is divided between domestic and continental leagues. Euroleague is the premiere continental league. Traditionally European sports have been more open than American sports with qualification rounds for clubs and such rather than having fixed franchises. But in recent years Euroleague has kinda changed that by giving the money clubs like Real Madrid and Pana permanent licences. There's been some pushback from other clubs and FIBA (which was pushed out of Euroleague about 15 years ago) has tried to start their own league, but it hasn't really gotten off the ground.
Does anyone know what this means?
Separately, Pana's owner is an interesting character and consistently trolls Turkish fans (mostly Fener fans). He and Pana fans also for whatever reason have convinced themselves that there's some great ref conspiracy against Pana specifically. He's been banned from all Euroleague arenas. As such, he's decided to move Pana to FIBA's league and the other Euroleague owners seem kinda happy he's gone.
That's kinda the summary.

Pretty sure their owner rushed the pitch with a revolver on his hip after a decision went against them in the final minutes of a soccer game.
