In the United States, a Muslim head coach who wore a Lebanese pin has been removed from his position.

The dismissal of New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh has drawn the reaction of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Saleh, the NFL's first Muslim coach, was fired on Tuesday due to the team's poor performance.

The incident occurred after Saleh wore a Lebanese pin during the game against the Vikings on Sunday. It is believed that Saleh, who is of Lebanese descent, wore the pin in response to Israel's attacks on Beirut.

The circumstances surrounding the dismissal have become a topic of debate. According to some sources, Saleh was escorted out of the team facility by security personnel. This situation was described by CAIR as "extraordinarily hostile."

CAIR questioned the Jets' stance in a statement and called for an explanation. In particular, concerns were raised due to team owner Woody Johnson being a former Trump administration official and having previously been accused of racist remarks.

Jets owner Johnson stated that Saleh's dismissal was a performance-based decision. However, it was reported that quarterback Aaron Rodgers was unaware of this decision and was taken aback.

When Saleh became the head coach of the Jets in 2021, he made history as the first Muslim American coach in the NFL. Upon his appointment, he praised the NFL's structure for bringing together different cultures.

This incident has once again highlighted the sensitivity of race and religion issues in the sports world. The Jets management has yet to make an official statement regarding the allegations surrounding Saleh's dismissal.

The sports community and the public are awaiting a clear explanation regarding the details and true reasons behind the incident. This development has reignited discussions about diversity and inclusion in the NFL.
