Calls for Basketball Ireland chief executive to resign

There are calls for Basketball Ireland chief executive Bernard O'Byrne to resign, following a racially insensitive social media post.

The association's CEO has apologised for a comment he made on Facebook, following Raheem Sterling's penalty incident in the Euro 2020 semi final against Denmark on Wednesday.

In the post, O'Byrne referenced the Black Lives Matter movement.
