He's a citizen and he's lived here for over a decade but every week I see tweets like this popping up :gucci:


Because people are stupid.


NAH ITS BECAUSE HE PRETENDED
HE WANTED TO PLAY FOR FRANCE
AND USED THAT AS LEVERAGE
TO GET AN EXPEDITED CITIZENSHIP...

THEN TURNED AROUND AND
PLAYED FOR AMERICA AFTER
HE GOT HIS FRANCE CITIZENSHIP.

Because they don't want to see Team USA win

Him playing for France is more acceptable even though he has no ties there while he's lived in the U.S. since he's 16, developed his basketball game almost entirely in the U.S. and his kid is American :unimpressed:

Countries been giving fake citizenships to Americans to get them to play for their national team for years, ain't so fun when the rabbit got the gun :umad:

People need to find something to be angry about.

This happens in Soccer all the time. You have guys on the USMNT with British accents.

Like?
Balogun was born in brooklyn usa
reyna was born in england but his parents are american and he grew up in the usa


embiid was born and raised in cameroon to cameroonian parents

The leading scorer for Spain today in their victory to clinch an Olympics appearance today was Lorenzo Brown, a born and raised American

I don’t think that’s what happened and I know that’s not why the tweet was made.

1. HE WROTE A LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
OF FRANCE AND SAID HE WOULD
ONLY PLAY FOR FRANCE.

2. THE THREAD TITLE
IS CLEARLY REFERRING TO MORE
THAN JUST THE TWEET IN THE OP.
