Talk:Rocket Ismail

Conversion to Christianity
While the article isn't exactly clear, I am copying comment which was placed into the article: "He couldn’t possibly have converted to Christianity in his early teens, because a sports illustrated article from 1989 shows him at Notre Dame still practising Islam. Here’s the link to that article. https://www.si.com/.amp/vault/1989/09/25/the-light-and-the-lightning-notre-dame-sophomore-raghib-ismail-has-brilliant-speed-on-the-football-field-but-he-is-if-anything-more-dazzling-off-it

Now I know you’ll delete this fact and put the propaganda lies back up there again. Whatever. Fix this." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.118.206.19 (talk) 21:30, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

This article is wrong. Ismail went in the 4th round because he had ALREADY signed with the CFL. That is, instead of him being a lowly 4th rounder because of his talent, the Raiders took him in the 4th round on the off chance that he would play in the NFL after his CFL contract was done. That's a big difference.

zoo?
"Ismail was removed from the zoo that had surrounded him" Whats that supposed to mean? --Yodakii 03:44, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a figure of speech suggesting that it was a wild and unpleasant place to be, because of the pressure that had been heaped upon him. Lord Bob 04:37, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Reliable source?
The content sourced to the article (Article on Raghib Ismail: Rocket shows strong path) doesn't seem to be a reliable source. It contains sentences like,
 * "...Whatever God put on his soul, the former Notre Dame football standout..."
 * "Christ said there is always going to be trouble..."

The article seems to be biased a bit. Can someone find a better source?Bless sins 17:33, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
