Azeez Al-Shaair honours another Palestinian girl after NFL fine
The NFL linebacker has made another public tribute to a Palestinian child, according to Al Jazeera, after receiving a league fine the previous week.
NFL linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair has honoured another Palestinian girl reportedly killed in Gaza, according to a report by Al Jazeera Global News.
The tribute came after Al-Shaair received an NFL fine the previous week. The supplied report does not identify the girl, or provide details of the fine’s amount or reason.
Al-Shaair previously wore eye black bearing the name Wafaa Akila during a game. Al Jazeera reported that Akila, an eight-year-old Palestinian girl, was killed with her father in Gaza in an Israeli attack. That account has not been independently verified in the supplied material.
Basketball player Kyrie Irving reportedly offered to pay Al-Shaair’s latest fine. The latest tribute marks another public expression of support for Palestinian children by the NFL player.
