Given the way Oliver Luck looks, and his academic and sports executive backround, I would think it's very possible he could be Jewish. However, we all know how this works: The minute an athlete garners any sort of acclaim, he will be sniffed out and put forth by the media if he is Jewish. So I say if Oliver (and his son Andrew) have not been "outed" (for the lack of a better word) by now, it's safe to assume they are non-Jewish.
I don't follow the draft that much, but I know the media is making a big deal about the OT from Wisconsin (Gabe Carimi?) being Jewish. Don't be surprised if he gets a lot more praise than guys like Anthony Constanzo and even the useless sumos.Hemight be theone "white guy" that won't face undeserved ridiculefrom the Jim Rome, Mike Greenberg and Adam Schefter types going forward. Look at howthe "draft gurus" constantly brought up the name Robert Gallery when talking about current Pro bowlers like Joe Thomas and Jake Long. They also labeled them not quite athletic enough forleft tackle andpegged them as"hard-workingright tackletypes, that will play 10 years based on grit and toughness".It will not happen to Gabe Carimi, be sure of that!!!
Jewish peoplelove "outing" athletes that have any hint of a Jewish name, or will dig even deeper to check both sides of the family. After the Pats 1st exhibition game in 2009, calls were pouring in to find out if Julian Edlenman was Jewish. He claimed to be half Jewish....Ike Davis of the Mets and Eric Nystrom and Mike Cammaleri (sp?) in the NHL have become instant media darlings because their mothers are Jewish.
Even declared gentiles like David Cone and David Eckstein have said they are constantly bombarded with questions of them being Jewish.Edited by: Truthteller
