He’s crashing out! (LMAO)
Nick Caserio, the general manager of the Houston Texans, is absolutely livid when it comes to the three-game suspension that the NFL slapped his linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair with. And we’re not just talking about your average anger here — Caserio is so mad that he’s “embarrassed” by how the league handled the situation with his dirty-hitting, Palestinian-loving player, even labeling the portrayal of Al-Shaair as “bullsh*t.”
Oh yeah, things got real. (RELATED: Palestinian-Loving, Dirty-Hitting Azeez Al-Shaair Gets 3-Game Suspension After Trevor Lawrence Knock)
“We’re going to say Azeez Al-Shaair, who — nobody embodies our program more than Azeez,” said Caserio to reporters Tuesday. “What he’s about, what he’s been through — you all know his story. There’s not a more selfless individual, more about the team, who’s earned the respect, that represents everything we want this program to be about. I mean, this morning, he was at a United Way event.”
“So we’re talking about some of the commentary that’s been made about his character, about the person that he is, about what his intentions are, from people who quite frankly don’t know anything about Azeez Al-Shaair. And for the league to make some of the commentary that he made about lack of sportsmanship, lack of coachability, lack of paying attention to the rules. Quite frankly, it’s embarrassing.”

Caserio also “took umbrage” with how Azeez has been painted as a person, saying “quite frankly, it’s BULLSHIT”

Caserio is referencing the NFL‘s suspension letter sent to Al-Shaair from their vice president of football operations Jon Runyan.

“What we take umbrage is is just the picture that’s been painted about Azeez, his intentions, who he is as a person. I mean, quite frankly, it’s bullsh*t,” stated Caserio. “And it’s unfair to the individual. It’s unfair to the organization … To speak on Azeez’s intentionality, what he intended to do and some of the comments that have been made, quite frankly, it’s embarrassing.”
“That essentially implies Azeez doesn’t give a crap about the fans, doesn’t give a crap about playing football the right way, is not coachable. It couldn’t be further from the truth, but when you make these statements and accusations and then you paint a picture of a player, quite frankly, nobody has a lot of respect for that,” he continued.
But never mind that the guy has a reputation of doing stuff like this:

Nick Caserio … definitely today’s donkey of the day.
