VILNIUS - The boss of a top Lithuanian basketball club has resigned after making seemingly racist remarks about black players, drawing comparisons to the 2014 controversy surrounding former Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.
BC Lietuvos Rytas president Gedvydas Vainauskas stepped down on Tuesday after saying "there should not be more than two black players on the team".
"Four black players appeared on the team, and they formed sort of a gang," Vainauskas told a TV channel that he owns last week.
