“I consider this boy a great player as much as he is a dirty guy. I hate him for the things that he did,” Weis said on his radio show on French station RMC, as transcribed by eurohoops.net.
“I think he doesn’t have any respect for France and also for all the people who are asking for a French passport and don’t get it. And under the pretext that he is a great athlete, he got it. I find it scandalous, I find it embarrassing. I don’t care about his excuses, cause they are his words, and his words mean nothing.”
He added in what was described as a joking tone: “I would take away from him the French nationality and I would ban him from entering France. You will not play in the Olympics. You will come to the airport with Team USA and we will say: ‘You don’t have the right to enter the territory, go to your home. You are Cameronian, you are American, you are not French, go away.'”
