Damn, that’s gonna leave a mark. But I bet it was a last ditch effort to save him from radical Islamic hatred and brainwashing.
That, and laying in bed at night with ol' muslim wormtongue whispering programming instructions in his ear:
NESSA DIAB: "You're important...you have a stage...people will listen to you...you have to speak out...you have to stand up for people of color...the people who raised you don't really care about you...you have to address the injustice...you have to make people hear you...you're a great athlete, you have a voice...you need to speak out for the oppressed people of this hideous country...people of color all over the world are depending on you...you have to speak out on the murderous butchery and slavery this country has subjected minorities to...you follow the prophet now, you are obligated to speak out...you cannot turn your back on Islam to make money..."
And so on.
Ever see a bull with a ring through its nose being led around? That's him...
