Xalimo becomes first UK hijabi referee

[kickz]

“My dad said to me from when I started: be careful, there’ll be haters out there,” she says. “But I see myself as a strong person. If someone says something to me I don’t get emotional. I just think they’re ignorant.”

And immediately she did so, she came to appreciate that this was not a pursuit for the faint-hearted as she was racially abused, she reported the abuse to the local FA, but did not hear any more.

Its great that you are confident in yourself, but think of everyone else.
Representation is always a good thing, we need more hijabi politicians, newscasters, etc.

So you think a referee is more representation of hijabis than a congress woman?
