Joel Embiid really angered Philly fans with his pro-Packers tweet before ‘TNF’

Philadelphia 76ers star center Joel Embiid loves to have fun on Twitter, but usually he’s taking shots at opponents he just embarrassed or defeated on the basketball court.

On Thursday night, however, he seemed to take a shot at another Philadelphia team as he made it clear who he was rooting for in Thursday night’s NFL game in Green Bay.

And it was not the Eagles.

Nope, Embiid is a big Green Bay Packers fan and before the big game started at Lambeau Field he let his feelings be known on who he wants to win this game.

These three words really annoyed Eagles fans:

Go Pack Go

UPDATE: The Eagles had a great response after the game, which Philly won:
