And also, some muslims sisters would tie their hijabs backwards. So can you still play any sport when the hijab is tied backwards??

Is there any chance of getting strangled? Would there be a possibility of an obstruction to your view?

Rules are the rules. Even caps aren't allowed in the game. Players could suffer heatstroke but it still isn't allowed. The only person allowed to wear a cap is the goalkeeper.

Try pulling on this. You don't think she'll get strangled?

I think perhaps the sisters that wear one would know best. I do know that there are many different styles that can be worn. They even make ones that can be worn in a pool. I am sure that at least one of these many styles could be used for sports that would not strangle them!!

No.. i dont think that she would get strangled.. How can you tho.. I think its impossible.. and as i said i wear hijabs during games and ive never had the hijab strangle me. The only problem that i had with the hijab during games is that it would get untied and i would have to fix it but other then that.. I think it should be allowed to wear one when to play sports!.. and also some refs. would know that muslim sisters were the hijab for religious reasons and they understand. so just cause of the hijab they shouldn't play. I know, the are being catious but still..

I think wearing the hijab is safer than not wearing one.
 
i agree.. cause look.. Girls that wear their hair tied up in a ponytail.. her hair can ge pulled by another player.. but wearing the hijab. what can the other player pull on? Nothing.

The hijab.... It's fastened round her neck it seems, which would be more dangerous than pulling someone's hair. :-\

I personally don't care about womens football. I don't watch women's football.
 
but the thing is tho.. how can some1 pull on it tho when the hijab is tucked into you shirt. like this girl i know when she would wear her hijab during a sport she tucks it in her shirt.

I totally agree with the referee. Before I even read it I thought "well yeh if someone was to pull them back they'd get strangled.":-\
It's not only Canada that banned it. It wouldn't be allowed here either or anywhere else. That's the reason why jewellery is banned too.

It's not surprising. Why do muslims make a big issue out of everything?

Because there are ways and means to allow the girl to still wear a hijab and be safe. The sport I do is VERY physical, you can and do get hurt sometimes. This is similar to what I wear http://www.thehijabshop.com/capsters/index.php I have tucked into my Gi and it doesnt come loose, it doesnt flap about and enables me to take part in my sport and retain my modesty and not compromise my religion or way of life.

Nope, it was a great decision. Prove to me how a hijab can endanger a player, and let me know how many people died from strangling from a hijab in a game. Put up or shut up :)

I cannot tell you how many people have died, it's too soon :rollseyes As I said, it is a NEW rule. We'll eventually see.
Someone will chase her, pull it from her head and keep on pulling it with it being tied around her neck until eventually the player catches up with her.

Well why would you do that when you will get called on it. wouldnt it cost you the game?.. like for example.. its like the last 5 mins of the game and a girl comes and yanks off the other players hijab. The hijabi then take the penlty shot gets it in.. then you try hard to win the game but then the hijabi girl team win. Its like in basketball you foul some1 it would cost you the game.. soo why would you keep on pulling it just to catch up to some1
 
Plus, you can also get hijabs which do not require a safety pin. I've been playing sports for a very long time, and i also wear the hijab. The hijab, if warn properly is not a safety hazard.

The point that the referee is a Muslim is not relevant in this matter. He made an absolutely ridiculous ruling.

So you admit that you cannot prove me wrong. Then why do you come up with conclusions that the hijab can be harmful?

Well that will always be against the rules and is a red card offense. Maybe we should now wear chest guards in fear of head butts to the chest?? :D
