Good on Usman for giving us the background information. It wasn't suitable to use a real dove, but something similar or even more obvious was? The only distinction I can identify is...
Yep

To the ICC, let's embrace the festive spirit of Christmas to advocate for peace. Throughout history, athletes have utilized their influence to support significant global causes, and promoting peace in Palestine is undeniably deserving of our attention.

The ICC ban on Khawaja appeared to be based on the misconception that his statement targeted a specific group, but it was actually promoting peace.

If I were in charge of selecting the team, I would exclude him from the test squad. The game of cricket is not solely centered around him, and his skills are not particularly impressive either!

Give him a good shake until he changes his attitude, mate.

Usman appears determined to publicly support equality, freedom, life, and peace. Any opposition, including the ICC, should take a moment to reconsider, not him.
Yep

Khawaja really hits the nail on the head when he reminds everyone that all lives matter and urges for peace. It's important to note that the Christian faith actually originated in Palestine, so let's not forget that Palestinian Christians are going through a tough time too.
Yep

While engaging in sports, whether as players or athletes, it is important to not meddle in political or other worldly affairs. The focus should solely be on the sport itself. However, those who do mix sports with such matters should expect and be subjected to strict punishment without a question. It... View More

I'm having trouble finding any post where Usman showed support for Israel after the deadly Hamas attacks and kidnappings in October.

Man, some folks be all mad about a cricket player sportin' a dove on his kicks. Meanwhile, others be heated 'bout the slaughter of over 20K peeps. Me? I ain't confused 'bout where I stand.

The ICC is totally on the wrong side of history, man. We're witnessing the complete wipeout of a whole population right in front of our eyes, you know? We won't be able to use the excuse that we had no clue, like people did after WWII. Big props to Usman Khawaja for taking a stand for Palestinian li... View More

The ICC be trippin' with their double standards. Props to Usman's homies for having his back. Big ups to Usman Khawaja for speaking out, respect.

Keep your political views out of sports. Just entertain and keep your opinions to yourself. Nobody is paying you for your thoughts.

It's ironic that he's receiving more attention now, but it's great that his teammates support him, and I hope he performs well in the test match.

Are you like a social justice warrior or more of a cricket fanatic? Usman complains about hypocrisy, but he's also guilty of it himself. I've never seen him speak up about China's unjust treatment of Muslims.
