Texas star Azeez al-Shaair fined for pro-Palestine message on eye black: report

An apparent message in support of Palestinians has cost a Houston Texans star.

Linebacker Azeez al-Shaair was spotted wearing eyeblack that read "Stop the genocide", likely regarding the ongoing conflict in Israel and Gaza, last week during the team's 30-6 playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

ESPN reported Sunday morning that al-Shaair was fined $11,593 for wearing a "personal message," which violated the league's uniform and equipment rules.
