But even that one doesn't really make sense. He is barely Basque. He got into Bilbao because his great grandparents were Basque. He isn't even Spanish (not that Basques want to be).
I just think it is premature to say fuck off to this guy if we don't know what really happened.
Basque Country extends into France and he's from French Basque Country which would qualify him.
He went to a basque football academy which would qualify him as well.
