Pro Bowl linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was one of several Houston Texans players fined by the NFL ahead of Week 2. The post Azeez Al-Shaair Punished for Pro-Palestine Message as NFL Docks Texans Teammates appeared first on HEAVY.
Al-Shaair has previously faced the NFL ’s discipline for a similar message. He was fined $11,593 in January after displaying “stop the genocide” on his eye black during a playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Al-Shaair has divided opponents and fans in recent seasons with both his aggressive play on the field, as well as his vocal support for Palestine in its ongoing conflict with Israel.
