TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors say a new line of team-branded hijabs is part of an effort to be more inclusive to fans of all cultures.
MLSE senior marketing director Jerry Ferguson says the organization was inspired to create the hijabs by a local Muslim women’s organization known as the Hijabi Ballers. The women regularly play basketball at a community court associated with the team.
What’s wrong with Nudists?
Wow! So now the Raptors are supporting the enslavement of women and the complete abolishment of womens rights. Bravo. You stupid ppl really should read the history of the hijab and what it actually stands for. There is not one mention of hijabs in the quran.
Talk about bricking a shot.
So basically calling the head scarf fashion? I reckon we'd all be better communities if it was an article of fashionable clothing than an article of religious clothing.
1. The hijab isn't oppressive, many religions, including Western Christian-based faiths have head coverings. Go to a Latin baptism. 2. Organized religion is shit. 3. I feel like this isn't so much about inclusion on the part of the organization, but a cash grab.
Stop.
According to this all women must be below men so wear a hijab you 2nd class citizen
They gonna toss some gays and women off rooftops as well, just to be more inclusive, ya know?
Women in most Islamic cultures are not ALLOWED to attend male dominated sporting events. But yeah, brand that hijab.
Canada. You've got a liberal problem. Much worse than ours. You need to solve it.
Crazy stupid world indeed. People will use any lame excuse to increase sales. Amazing how money makes people so cheap in values.
Dumb idea.
so the Raptors are willing to support the oppression of women to seem more inclusive. Scary
The World becomes a little bit dumber every day
Except women who dont want to be subservient animals.... This is such a lame PR effort.
EVERY n I repeat EVERY religion has examples of head coverings for women particularly the orthodox varieties. Perhaps it isn't just one religion but the entire idea of it that oppresses women. Seems that's the number 1 complaint.. all religion is INTOLERANT of 'others'
Love Canada
How is this news?
Lol. Weve officially lost our fucking minds.
Coming next: Swastika
So they promote an article that represents misogyny and oppression.
Sorry but this is bullshit !
What will the Scotiabank Arena security do when someone wears a full hijab with the Raptor's logo when entering for a game? They had better not ask to see what the person is carrying underneath it. That would be SOOOOO islamophobic!!!
Phucking Canadians have lost their minds
Sell outs
Ok
Ohh for fuck sake lol
Bwahahaha 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
Hijab is winning!
Culture of oppression must not be celebrated.
Sure. Got caps. Why not scarfs too. Support your team!
Great idea!
“Cover your offensive head, lowly woman!”
they represent intolerance and control ! Do they not get that ?
this makes me PISSED! 😠 - white people
Hijabs isn’t really the thing we should be celebrating imo
Yeah okay
