Melbourne United apologized for the suspected ridicule of Zhou Qi on the scene host, and the relevant personnel were suspended for 2 games

The Melbourne Phoenix team played by Chinese player Zhou Qi defeated Melbourne United on the 12th, but in the match, the Melbourne United live DJ suspected of laughing at Zhou Qi, which fermented afterwards and caused dissatisfaction from the outside world. On the 13th, Melbourne United sent an email to the local media on this matter, in which it expressed its apologies to Zhou Qi and had suspended the qualifications for the two home games after the parties.

This happened in the third quarter of the game, when Zhou Qi made a free throw, but neither of the two penalties was hit. Live DJ Peterson said: "Zhou Qi doesn't seem to know why we are laughing". And this sentence also caused dissatisfaction among the Phoenix team, who thought that Peterson was laughing at Zhou Qi. Melbourne United explained that Peterson said this because according to the agreement between the team and the sponsor, as long as the visiting players failed to make two free throws, the audience would get a free burger.

Melbourne United sent an apology letter to the local media on the 13th. They revealed that they investigated this after the incident, and Peterson was also aware of the adverse consequences of his remarks, and he also apologized to Zhou Qi for it. At the same time, Melbourne United also cooperated with the Australian League officials to conduct a follow-up investigation into the matter. At the same time, Melbourne United revealed that they had suspended Peterson's on-site qualification for the next two home games, allowing him to use this time for self-reflection.
