NFL star fined for displaying name of slain Palestinian girl
NFL player Azeez Al-Shaair was fined more than $11,000 for wearing the name of a Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces on his face markings last weekend, a league spokesman said Wednesday.
Linebacker Al-Shaair had the words "Hind Rajab" written on his eye black a sticker or paint frequently used by American football players to reduce glare for the Houston Texans' clash with the Buffalo Bills.
Rajab was a five-year-old girl whose death in Gaza in 2024 after Israeli troops opened fire on her family's stranded car became the subject of an Oscar-nominated docu-drama.
