Joel Embiid Posts Pro-Packers Tweet During TNF Sure to Drive Eagles Fans Insane

Joel Embiid never sheies away from banter, controversy, or any manner of opportunity to make his opinions well known. That's just life for the Philadelphia 76ers All-Star. But the big man is sure to be hearing some blowback from a number of his own fans now that he's chosen a surprising side in tonight's Thursday Night Football matchup between the Packers and Eagles.

Well, then.

Hey, just because you play basketball in Philadelphia doesn't mean you're automatically required to support the football team like some kind of lifelong fan. Nobody's demanding that. But to cast his lot with the Green Bay Packers, of all teams, on the night they're playing the Eagles?

That's bold, even on Embiid's brazen, often merciless standards. Let the fireworks begin.
