There’s some other black athletes who converted. I can’t think of any who were born to Muslim parents and were raised in that religion.

Well, Saints fans probably fondly remember Az-Zahir Hakim. He dropped a punt for the Rams in the 200 season playoffs helping ensure a Saints win.

We Rams fans curse his name.

Olajuwan of the NBA was born in Nigeria as a muslim. But I agree, almost all muslims in professional sports converted, and most to “The Nation of Islam”, not actual Islam, which is an entirely different critter. Malcolm X was assassinated by The Nation of Islam because he became an actual muslim and started following the Sunni faith.

Farrakhan has his followers read Dianetics and has The Church of Scientology “audit” them, for crying out loud.

Ahmad Rashad? TJ Houshmanzadeh? Lew Alcindor (oops, Kareem Abdul Jabbar-wocky)? Muhammed Ali? Ain’t heroes to me! They would have to do something, like, heroic!

Willie Mays, Bo Jackson, Jackie Robinson, Reggie Jackson, Michael Jordan and Hank Aaron were all Muslims.

Off the top of my head I cannot think of any Muslim major-league baseball players, and of all the team sports in the US, I don’t think there is one that is more racially/ethnically diverse, in both its players and its fan base, than MLB.

Well, I have never understood Blacks’ attraction to islam. Islamists enslaved Africans, sold them, to some extent still practicing slavery today. But they - blacks - somehow think this great religion with the arab buggerers and pedophiles is going to treat them better than the evil white man?
