Muslim women basketball players are on the brink of winning their battle to wear hijab while playing the sport after basketball's governing authority today approved a proposal to allow headgear to be worn by players.

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) said in a statement that "the Central Board approved a proposal put forward by the Technical Commission for a new rule that will allow headgear to be worn by players. The new rule was developed in order to minimize the risk of injuries and preserve consistency of the color of the uniform."

The long-awaited decision is expected to come at the end of this week, two and a half years after FIBA first started looking at revising its ban on headgear in September 2014.
Yay. These gals "choose" to wear that stupid shite. It's not imposed on them at all. LINK

It will lead to more injuries via basketballs to the face because their peripheral vision will be limited.

The absurdities of religion make me realize as I get older that there really is no hope for humanity.

Is pulling them by the hijab a foul?

If the hijab falls off or they lose it in a rough game, is the father or husband able to come out on the court and beat her for dishonoring the family by showing her unclad head?

#ReligiousTolerance ftw!

Only an idiot cares about a Muslim Women's Basketball League.

I wonder if the Pentecostal women will be allowed to wear denim dresses.
