Al-Shaair Wears Wafaa Akila's Name Despite NFL Fine

Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair wore the name of Wafaa Akila, an eight-year-old Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, on his eye black during Sunday's NFL game against the Cincinnati Bengals. This came days after the NFL fined him $11,941 for wearing Hind Rajab's name, a penalty NBA star Kyrie Irving offered to pay. Al-Shaair has vowed to continue raising awareness.
