Donald Trump couldn't name any Muslim athletes. Here are 38.

Last night, Donald Trump livetweeted President Obama’s speech from the Oval Office. One part of the tweetstorm stuck out: Trump’s reaction to the President saying, “Muslim-Americans are our friends and our neighbors, our co- workers, our sports heroes.”
