Christian College Wrestler Under Fire for Criticizing Islam in Post-Match Interview

March 24, 2023 by Staff

Penn State wrestler Aaron Brooks is under fire for comments he made after a recent match. While Brooks clearly expressed his faith in Jesus, something that is not entirely uncommon for Christian athletes, Brooks raised eyebrows with his offhand criticism of Islam. 

Brooks’ comments came after his win over Northern Iowa’s Parker Keckeisen, which secured Brooks his third consecutive individual NCAA title.
