Because of course …
Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is getting hammered on social media again. Already facing backlash for his dirty and completely illegal hit on Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, Al-Shaair is now being knocked with another round of fire over the cleats that he wore in Sunday’s game, cleats that demand “Free Palestine.”
The Texans unveiled their “My Cause, My Cleats” for this season.

Born in Tampa, Florida, and raised in Saudi Arabia for a portion of his childhood, Al-Shaair revealed his “Free Palestine” cleats awhile ago as a part of the My Cause My Cleats program that the NFL is currently running. Both the league and the Texans gave their approval for the cleats, with Al-Shaair representing the Palestinian Children’s Relief Fund.

Al-Shaair, with six years experience in the NFL, was sporting the cleats when he knocked Lawrence out of the game and into the league’s concussion protocol.
Watch Trevor Lawrence immediately after this horrific hit. His right arm suddenly flexes as his left arm simultaneously extends.

Al-Shaair was ejected from the game and is now facing a suspension from the NFL. Hell, the hit was so bad that the Texans even disavowed it themselves.
And things aren’t getting any better with the Palestinian cleats being involved:

So Azeez Al-Shaair was wearing pro-Hamas cleats when he nearly took off the head of devout Christian Trevor Lawrence? They say it was just a cheap shot?
Fox reports there was a message on one of his shoes: “Surely to Allah we belong and to him we will all return.”
No doubt…

Azeez Al-Shaair chose to knock out Trevor Lawrence while wearing Palestinian cleats … We very well may have the top candidate for the NFL’s biggest idiot.
