Former French international Frederic Weis violently attacked NBA Joel Embiid, who asked the French nationality to play for this country in the Paris Olympic Games and finally to do it in the United States. The former Bilbao player has requested that the Sixers center’s French nationality granted to him be withdrawn and that he be barred from entering the country.
Embiid even sent a letter to the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron to help him in his naturalization process.
“I consider this boy as a good player as he is dirty. I hate the things he did. I think he has no respect for France and or all the people who apply for a French passport and didn’t get it. He got it under the pretext that he is a great athlete I find it scandalous and shameful I don’t care about his excuses, just words,” said Weis, who is now 46 years old and once played for Bilbao Basket.
It was clear to Weis what he was going to do with Embiid. “I will take away your French nationality and ban you from entering France. And then you will not be able to participate in the Olympic Games. You will arrive at the airport with Team USA and we will tell you: you have no right to enter our territory, go home to the Cameroonian , you’re American, but you’re not French,” Weis concluded.
