EuroLeague MVP Ekpe Udoh added his voice to those who want a players union to be created in Europe, specially after what happened in Lithuania.

The quotes of former Lietuvos Rytas president Gedvydas Vainauskas are just the tip of the iceberg and Ekpe Udoh wrote in his Euroangle blog.

The president from a Lithuanian team is out of line for his comments and I hope no black players go to his team or that league. Because trust, more owners feel the same way.

And players, it will be tough due to the many leagues around, but a union needs to be formed. Players are becoming more empowered and need to understand that there is not a game without us. Recently some club presidents and players brought some subjects into perspective so we need to pay attention to each other and look out for each other.

The idea of a European players union is gaining more and more ground and here’s Eurohoops position on the matter.
