        Trevor is brilliant most of the time, but if 21 of 23 players are born in France, he needs to walk his comments back. We don't refer to the USA basketball team as an African team because they are comprised of African American players.

        The players born in France are first generation immigrants. They know what country their parents were born. you can thank slavery for “African Americans” to not know where their ancestors are from. This comparison makes no sense.

        I think you missed the point that’s why you don’t understand the comparison. Be it FOB or 10th generation, if a player is born in that country, they are a citizen. Slavery or immigration status of their forefathers doesn’t diminish their citizenship.

        @Trevornoah pretty much speaks my mind in this video about the letter. As a daughter of African immigrants, I relate to his sentiments heavily. Once again, no one is denying their citizenship. https://www.facebook.com/BetweenTheScenes/videos/212180896148350/ …

        M. Noah can think whatever he wants, but he has no right to decide who his French, and who is not. Does he feels himself as American or...??? Where are his ancestors coming from? Is that important to define who he is? Do what you want in the US but leave is alone pls 2/2

        Maybe the good ambassador can intercede in behalf of all those French born Africans and Arabs who struggle finding jobs because they’re not ethnically French. The picture the ambassador paints is nothing more than an ideal, a slogan. That France does not exist in real life.

        Dear sir, there is no such thing as a French ethnicity. There are people of different colors, identities and religions living together as French citizens. We do fight racism and unequal opportunities which are undoutbly real in France, but these are two different things

        Well said. It’s striking how all these comments (« African team » and racist slurs) are coming from out of #France. Ignorance is driving them. Our country is enjoying its #WorldCup title and lifting its French heroes. The social issues are real but not exclusively in 🇫🇷.

        This article is kind of a joke. First, how about the author spelling his name correctly -- it's N'Golo. Secondly, Kante was very much looking to also play for Mali, where his parents are from. So he may be French, but he still very much identifies w/ Africa in some way still.

        N’GOLO is not French language. NGOLO is French language. CORREA is not French language. CORRÈA is French language. There is rules in the French language to be followed...and to be know before writing it in the right manner.

        That’s actually a little sad. The original message even said they were all united by France, but he’s still so insecure about his identity. No insult to him, but I’m proud to fall under multiple banners.

        Wow... so one of the guys directly concerned is basically saying that he is French first and for most, but because it doesn't fit your point of view that means he is the one insecure about is identity? Mindblowing a little

        If you think Mandy is insecure 🧐 (that’s a laugh) try observing other players’ reactions. Listen to what Mbappe or Pogba - a man of the world who speaks 4 or 5 languages fluently - have to say. Read their interviews, watch what @brutofficiel has broadcasted about Mbappe.
