NFL player Azeez Al-Shaair paid tribute to Wafaa Akila, a Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, by wearing her name in his eye black during a game, despite having previously been fined for displaying messages about the Israel-Gaza war on the field. Al-Shaair has since honored another Palestinian child killed by Israel, again risking league sanctions after being fined the previous week. The repeated tributes underscore his continued willingness to spotlight Palestinian civilian casualties despite NFL pushback.
