Last night, Donald Trump livetweeted President Obama’s speech from the Oval Office. One part of the tweetstorm stuck out: Trump’s reaction to the President saying, “Muslim-Americans are our friends and our neighbors, our co- workers, our sports heroes.”

Obama said in his speech that Muslims are our sports heroes. What sport is he talking about, and who? Is Obama profiling?


1) Muhammad Ali, boxer




2) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, basketball


3-4) Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O’Neal, basketball
