League’s first Muslim player didn’t want to wear jumper on religious grounds but is said to have support and respect of teammates
GWS Giants midfielder Haneen Zreika will sit out the club’s AFLW clash with the Western Bulldogs after deciding she could not wear the new pride jumper due to her faith.
Zreika, 22, grew up in Western Sydney and was the first Muslim AFLW player when she debuted in 2019, coming to Australian rules football from a rugby league background.
Now imagine if it were a Christian girl.
