Fournier also added his own part (in french though this time).
But basically all this debate is ridiculous honnestly. If we play this game, the country in the word who should praise Africa the most, i let you guess which it is. And considering the historical circumstances ...
Anyway back to Batum, i already said it plenty of times, since the first communication fail when he criticized D. Rose defense when he was a very young blazer in some itw without thinking about what the writers would do with what he said, he should think twice before saying something to the press or any media. And limit his usage of social medias.
Of course this won't happen.
edit : The reference is the reaction of french athletes to the comment they have heard/read on tv/reddit/soccer forums about Africa winning the world cup. Those athletes, incl. Batum, said clearly they were proud to be french and that France was the legit winner, without forgeting the african roots of some of its players.
There had been some drama over it between some usual racists comments and wannabe spindoctors & trolls of all kind on social networks. And some backfire to Batum's comments because in his 1st message he seemed to forget where he came from (well, his father at least) and some cameroon were - rightfully or pretending to be since there are facing internal disorder - offended . hence his clarification
