I often felt that as our world is moving towards digital and modernization, we have become more inhumane, our hearts have become shrunk. We as human beings have lost apathy for those in need.
A resurfaced video of two football teams uniting for a brief moment after a woman’s hijab came loose during their match in Jordan, has gone viral again.
Now This reported that The video, which is from a women’s championship match in 2018, shows players on the Shabab al Ordon club helping the hijabi player on the opposing Arab Orthodox Club when her hijab started to come loose and fall off. She stopped playing to fix it, which is when players on the Shabab al Ordon club huddled around her so that she could adjust it with some privacy.
Later, Shabab al Ordon went on to win the championship with grace and dignity.
ABC reported that as it was claimed by the Jordan Football Association, the players who formed the human shield are Stephanie Naber, Hiba Fakherdine, Shurooq Shathily, Yasmeen Khair, and Noor Zoqash. The woman with the hijab did not wish to be named.
This shows the sportsmanship of the game, and how we can care for others without a reward!
