They also thanked the Raptors for recognizing the role Muslim women play in"changing the culture around sport" in the city.Amreen Kadwa, founder and executive director of Hijabi Ballers, said the Raptors were accommodating and respectful of the club and what they needed to bring to the hijab to market."It's one thing to do a launch.

Designer misogyny.

Disgusting! That crap doesn't belong in America!!

So are all sports going to be so accommodating?☹

Disgusting

the world is being taken over

Respect for personal faith comes from within.

What BS

Soooo your Monetizing a religion and pandering to the PC crowd for cash... I mean you have Kaepernick7 as mascot boy so why is anyone surprised.

This isn't going to work out to well, but what's going to happen to the audience when the game becomes politicized by the athletes, this is not a religion, this is bullying everyone else.

Marketing run amok.

The women in Iran who are removing their head jobs are braver then any leftist pushing for them in the states

As the majority of Muslims do not believe in Evolutionary theory, the Raptor claw in a religiously prescribed garment is a bit confusing.

Women in the Middle East see it as a sign of oppression

Too bad the women wearing them have no power to change the game of misogyny in which they are trapped.

In a capitalistic society everything is up for monetization.

Damn. Canada outdoes US again.

Change the game and enslave women and slaughter christians. All brought to you from the religion of peace

That’s just dumb 👆🙄

Should be banned in America. Screw all this zhit.

Trying to compete with Adidas and the priest collar.

Please include the veil also.

Probably toss you off a building for wearing this is some Islamic countries

Stupid.....

She gonna be 🥵!!😂😂😂

Hideous...not inspired

We all need that we respect each other and everyone Respect All Religion Then you want to see how the world comes to peace WORLD want peace Not Allow Hates

we can expect more exploding results!

Gross

🙄

No branded yarmulke? I guess a yarmulke is far less woke than a hijab and they're trying to earn social credit with the kind of people who saw the lack of branded hijabs as a legitimate issue facing the Muslim community. More power to them I guess, doesn't affect me in any way.

YEAH THEY'RE ALL HEROS.
