Packers Fan Joel Embiid Sings “Fly Eagles Fly”
Published:
“Go Pack Go” tweeted Joel Embiid last week, right before his unbeaten Green Bay team went on to lose at home to your Philadelphia Eagles.
At media day on Monday, Embiid went on Zach Lowe’s “Lowe Post” podcast and was asked about his Packer fandom and whether we was just trying to play with Philly fans. Embiid explained that he has a good relationship with Aaron Rodgers, whom he met at Kansas before being drafted by the Sixers. However, when the Eagles play anybody but Green Bay, Embiid is a Birds fan.
