Geoff Lepper, Renaissance Man

It turns out it's not just sports with this guy. He will fearlessly (and incompetently) take on any topic, including religious conversion. Nothing earth-shattering or interesting in this "article", save for this little piece of camouflaged racism in the form of an attempted joke:

"Now the 6-foot, 3-inch, 245-pound junior is getting into opposing backfields in less time than it takes to spell his new Islamic name: Fahim Mujaahid Abd Allah."

Very witty, Geoff; right up there with a joke about Asian names relating to banging pots and pans. At least Lepper has the decency to refer to the kid as Abd Allah for the remainder of the piece, avoiding a beating like the one Ernie Terrell took from Ali, with Muhammad screaming "what's my name?" the entire time.

However, you will note that only about half of this "article" is available through the link. In addition, the "click here to view full text link" produces this. We can only assume that The Council on American-Islamic Relations is attempting to delete any existence of association with Lepper. CAIR could not be reached for comment (not that we tried).

Is there anything this man can't (fail to) do?
