Basketball impersonators?

Post by scooter »

So the Friendship Cup kicked off recently in Russia. It's an invitational basketball tournament for national sides, and it started with Russia absolutely crushing Colombia, 155-53. Turns out, however, that there was a small problem.

The Colombian Basketball Federation released a statement yesterday, saying:
  1. We never got an invite to the Friendship Cup,
  2. Accordingly, we didn't send anybody to the Friendship Cup,
  3. We're now pursuing sanctions for using our symbols in the tournament without permission.
:???: :wtf: :facepalm:
