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 ππΎπ€

Crazy how this French guy is willing to say more than most of the actual Timberwolves players
Itβs unfortunate youβre French Yabusele but we appreciate it
Hope they don’t revoke his visa… sad that that is my first thought now.
Not a voice I’d expect to hear from on the matter, but I very much appreciate and welcome it
Real.
Do we get some kind of hardship exemption if Trump cancels his visa?
Ctazy to me how these shenanigans continue with seemingly little actual repercussions for offending ICE agents and the bozo who deplyed them.

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

Trade for Yabu right now
Thank god for the French! We need more this now more than ever!

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.
Th French go hard on politics, not surprising he spoke up before most Americans players tbhβ¦
he might get enes kantered
Donβt trade him
The French have revolt and rebellion in their blood
Iβm from Portland and I fear their arrival. Iβm married to a wonderful brown man. ππ. Minnesota I support you too πππ
Respect for being way more brave than the hundreds of American players, who would risk nothing by standing up unlike foreign players do.
Hell yeah
Hell yeah tell em Yabu
“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.
tbf now that yabusele said he is frenhc, i wouldnt be surprised if he led a protest
Now this is an actual statement. Dude said murders and directly blamed the government. Real shit.
Thank you yabu.
So much respect to yabu kat and hali

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
Athletes are cowards. I am not surprised that Yabusele is one of the few that isn’t a coward.
As an immigrant, he has more courage than 99% of the NBA to say this
TAKE NOTE YOU COWARD AMERICAN PLAYERS. fucking pathetic
Let me know when the French government takes responsibility for Europe’s defense.
Haha why did he post this in the NBA sub reddit
French guy probably bout to get a visit from ICE
Pretty telling the most of the people calling this shit out aren’t American players
no lebron but we have yabusele
Embrace your inner French and lead the riots Guerschon
