Azeez Al-Shaair forced to remove name of slain Palestinian girl from eyeblack
Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was forced last week to remove an eyeblack that bore the name of Wafaa Akila, an eight-year-old Palestinian girl killed earlier this month by an Israeli air strike on the first day of her school, according to The Athletic. Al-Shaair made international headlines after Week 1 when the NFL fined him for writing the name, Hind Rajab, on his eyeblack in a game.
