By calling them an African team, it seems you are only denying their Frenchiness.

The radical left just keeps feeding its “victims”. They have nothing else to do.

Note to the NFL....

EVERY French player stood and sang “La Marseillaise”. Yes even the “African” ones.

Good thing he’s a creature of the far left Daily Show.

If he worked for Fox, the pinkos would be calling for his resignation.

Actually this was an improvement over 1998, when the Algerians acted like they won the World Cup because of Zinedine Zidane.

France seemed much more united this time around.

Which begs the question: Why does this man have a television show in the United States?

So says the dictator of Venezuela too.

Get a clue, when will the same be said for the NFL and NBA? One reason, I’m not really into those two leagues.

Yep, by that same token they should call the Golden State Warriors an “African” team.

The “African” players were born in France. France has had blacks for decades, especially since the end of WWII. They aren’t the problem in France, it’s the Arabs that are the bigger problem.

Well, if Trevor Noah wants to insist, then Africa won the Olympic basketball gold medal.

I guess French Olympic figure skater Surya Bonaly was skating for Africa as well?

She’s the one who did the backflip, which was subsequently banned.

And then there was Joakim’s dad, Yannick Noah (ironically named).

>>Noah was recognizing the multiethnic background of France’s team. <<

As “multiethnic” as an NBA team. After Byrd retired.

And by the way, not all the French players were African, Griezmann is a German. ;)

host Trevor Noah was ready to celebrate. “Africa won the World Cup! Africa won the World Cup!”

Where's the lie?

Noah read more of the letter, which was posted to the French Embassy’s official Facebook page, in a faux French accent

This is the kind of stuff that usually triggers leftists.
