Brent Celek has changed his name to Celek-X after joining the Nation of Islam

What the heck? Is that for real? The Nation of Islam is a black supremacist organization - why would he join it? And why take the name Celek-X, since presumably his ancestors were not trafficked as slaves?

Farrakhan has permitted caucasians to join the Nation of Islam. This is true.

I realize that. But that is not the point. The NoI ideology remains racially charged and because of this there are very few Caucasians who have taken Farrakhan up on the offer.

If you are Celek, why not join a more mainline version of Islam which doesn't have the history and ideology of the NoI?

Maybe they don't like sitting on the back of the bus?
Hmmmm........Hog-X...

Who knows. Likely he was just joking around

I'm changing my name to Bob Umenyiora.

I don't know if this has been posted, but kudos to (Carolilna's) Steve Smith:

This reportedly could be a majority ownership transaction

We're apparently looking at Cedric Benson or Ryan Grant.
