Full quote:

I can't stop thinking about the tragic events unfolding in Minnesota, and even though I'm French, I can't remain silent. What's happening is beyond comprehension. We're talking about murders here, these are serious matters. The situation must change, the government must stop operating in this way. I stand with Minnesota πŸ™πŸΎπŸ–€

  1. Crazy how this French guy is willing to say more than most of the actual Timberwolves players

  2. Not a voice I’d expect to hear from on the matter, but I very much appreciate and welcome it

  3. Ctazy to me how these shenanigans continue with seemingly little actual repercussions for offending ICE agents and the bozo who deplyed them.

  4. Ok now I’m more on board with the spurs trading for him. I miss pops voice in times like these.

  5. More and more NBA players coming out with their comments is great.

    It’s strange (or not) that a certain player has stayed silent throughout all this.

  6. Th French go hard on politics, not surprising he spoke up before most Americans players tbh…

  7. I’m from Portland and I fear their arrival. I’m married to a wonderful brown man. πŸ’œπŸ’œ. Minnesota I support you too πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

  8. Respect for being way more brave than the hundreds of American players, who would risk nothing by standing up unlike foreign players do.

  9. “Even though I am French, I can’t remain silent”, more like “Because I am French, I can’t remain silent.”

    It is much more common to talk politics (I know this isn’t *really* politics, it’s common sense, for for some people it feels like politics) in France than in the US.

  10. Now this is an actual statement. Dude said murders and directly blamed the government. Real shit.

  11. Pretty brave of him to say something given he’s here on a visa and this administration is certainly not above revoking one because the person was critical of their actions

  12. Athletes are cowards. I am not surprised that Yabusele is one of the few that isn’t a coward.

  13. Let me know when the French government takes responsibility for Europe’s defense.
