NBA star Irving pledges to pay Al-Shaair’s NFL fine over Hind Rajab message

Kyrie Irving has offered to pay the $11,941 fine imposed on Azeez Al-Shaair, a player for the Houston Texans, for wearing the name of Hind Rajab, a Palestinian girl killed by Israeli forces. Al-Shaair wrote Rajab's name on his eye black during a game as an act of solidarity. This gesture was followed by a fine from the NFL for violating player equipment rules.
