SHAQUILLE JOINS FARRAKHAN'S FOLD

TIRED of his partying ways, Shaquille O'Neal not only got married, he changed his religion as well. Spies said the Los Angeles Lakers star, formerly a Christian, is now a Muslim and good buddies with Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan. "They are very close," said our source.

Farrakhan was even said to have presided over O'Neal's wedding to the mother of his three children, Shaunie Nelson, on Dec. 26 at the Beverly Hills Hotel. But a rep for People magazine which covered the wedding said, the official officiator was Judge Greg Mathis, although Farrakhan was a guest.

"Shaq is trying to keep his conversion under wraps because of all the anti-Muslim sentiments right now," we're told. O'Neal's agent, Mike Parris, said, "I don't comment on my clients' personal lives or religious beliefs."

O'Neal started with Orlando Magic. Still owns huge home here. I spoke with some Jewish business owners last night. O'Neal has, or should I say, had, long standing business relationships with them. They confirmed last night that O'Neal is pulling out of deals, citing "Directives from Minister Farrakhan."

O'Neal also recently refused to play on 2004 US Olyimpic Basketball team.

Wonder how soon he will change his name like Ali did, and become another vocal America hater?

Little wonder he'd be an America hater, as mistreated as he has been. < /sarcasm>

[MindBender26]

How true, just like Cassius Clay was.

[mhking]

Is this still a rumor or has it been confirmed yet?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

Another question is how many "fans" will follow him into the folds of Islam?

...how many "fans" will follow him into the folds of Islam?

Many thousands of black kids in sneakers. If true, this is a big score for Farrakhan.

So what. All he needs to do is re-injure his foot in a non NBA game to end his career. Why would he or the Lakers or anyone else in America want him to play against 2nd level competition? I want to see him play, and LOSE, against the Sacramento Kings.

How true, just like Cassius Clay was.

Well,it is true that some white trash bikers beat Clay and his brother up,and took their Harley's.

[WhiteGuy]

I couldn't care less about this guy.

[Semper Paratus]

I guess that proves that Shaq isn't a memeber of mensa.

For the life of me, I don't understand why Americans continue to financially support professional sports. Your money is going directly into the coffers of criminals, drug abusers, black militants, and muslims.

[BenLurkin]

It is getting harder and harder to care about what these thugs in uniforms are doing on the field and on the court.

O'Neal's wedding to the mother of his three children

How conscientious of him!

Shabazz O'X?

"For the life of me, I don't understand why Americans continue to financially support professional sports. Your money is going directly into the coffers of criminals, drug abusers, black militants, and muslims "

I've been thinking the same thing for years . Also one of the myriad ways in which wealth is being re-distributed in Amnesia ( nee America ) .

I knew there was a reason why I hated the Lakers.

GO JAZZ!!!!

[PallMal]

the official officiator was Judge Greg Mathis

The same Greg Mathis that assaulted Reverand Jesse Peterson:

Jesse Jackson, Judge Mathis sued by Rev. Peterson

[GOP_Raider]

I dont know. The same thing could apply to movies, music, and the entire entertainment industry. It's a complete moral decay (due to harebrained social engineering) on the whole, not just in the sports world.

To say so is a little shortsighted.

Bingo!
