HOUSTON -- Houston Texans guard Oday Aboushi is among the Muslim players in the NFL troubled by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's suggestion that Muslims be barred from entering the United States on the basis of their religion.
"It’s surprising it’s come down to this, that it’s actually like, this is a serious candidate for our country," Aboushi said. "To have someone as closed-minded as that running such a big country and having a lot of people's freedom and opportunities for jobs and things like that in his hands, it’s definitely alarming."
