Caserio pointed the finger at the NFL for portray an “unfair” image of Al-Shaair.
“It’s an unfortunate play and situation,” Caserio stated. “One of the biggest issues that we sort of take umbrage with, as a team and organizationally, is the picture that’s been painted of Azeez, quite frankly is unfair. I would say one of the biggest issues, and I probably speak for a lot of teams not only Houston Texans, but I think that’s all teams ask for is consistency from the league. I say in this situation quite frankly there’s no consistency at all relative to the level of discipline that’s been handed down.”
Caserio additionally prompt the league made feedback about Al-Shaair with no need a real figuring out of the soccer participant’s non-public personality.
“We’re talking about some of the commentary that’s been made about his character, about the person that he is, about what his intentions are from people that quite frankly don’t know anything about Azeez Al-Shaair. For the league to make some of the commentary that they made about lack of sportsmanship, lack of coachability, lack of paying attention to the rules, quite frankly it’s embarrassing.”

A portion of Runyan’s letter delved into Al-Shaair’s “lack of sportmanship” and prompt he had a “disregard for NFL playing rules.”
“Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL… Your continued disregard for NFL playing rules puts the health and safety of both you and your opponents in jeopardy and will not be tolerated,” Runyan wrote.
However, Caserio made it sunlit that the group he works for loves “everything about” the veteran linebacker.

“… What we take umbrage is the picture that’s been painted about Azeez, his intentions, who he is as a person, quite frankly it’s bulls—. It’s unfair to the individual, it’s unfair to the organization and we love everything about Azeez Al-Shaair.”

Al-Shaair issued an apology to Lawrence on Monday.
“I’ve always played the game as hard as I could. Never with the intent to harm anyone and anybody that knows me knows that,” Al-Shaair wrote on X, previously referred to as Twitter. “My goal is to hit you as hard as I can then I pray you’re still able to get up and play the next play. And when the game is over go home to your family unharmed because it’s not personal it’s just competition! We both are trying to do the same thing which is provide for our families! I genuinely didn’t see him sliding until it was too late. And it all happens in the blink of an eye.
“To Trevor I really make an apology to you for what ended up going down. Earlier than the sport we spoke and I informed you the way it used to be admirable to farewell again out at the ground and wanted you neatly. I’d by no means need to see any participant harm as a result of a collision I placed on them, particularly person who’s deemed ‘late’ or ‘unnecessary.’ To the remainder of his teammates I will without a doubt perceive you having his again and protecting him in a condition like that.”
Al-Shaair also took aim at members of the media who he believes framed him as a “villain.”
“To the remainder of the population who I’ve been known as each and every unmarried identify within the retain, from newshounds with their fingers in a position for a tale to seek out their villain, to racist and Islamophobic fanatics and population, you don’t know my middle nor my personality which I don’t wish to end up to any of you. God is aware of my intentions and somebody who has ever been a teammate or pal of mine is aware of my middle.”
It remains unclear whether Al-Shaair will file an appeal. But if the suspension is upheld, he won’t be eligible to return to the Texans active roster until after Houston’s Christmas Day game against the Ravens.
