WWE superstar Tamina Snuka recently took to Twitter to express her concerns about Muslim women not being able to pursue their careers in the world of wrestling. Tamina seemed to support Muslim women and called out pro wrestling companies for not providing them with an environment to compete.

This whole scenario started with coverage from The Huffington Post. The coverage included a story about three Muslim women not being able to follow their dreams of becoming pro wrestlers.

The story received many reactions from viewers all over the world. One of the most prominent reactions came from the legendary Jimmy Snuka’s daughter. She seemed outraged at the whole situation.

Tamina advocated for the rights of women to follow their beliefs. She insisted that the sport of professional wrestling be more inclusive and open to women from all backgrounds.

Discrimination has no place in today’s society. Everyone should be allowed to follow their ambitions. Religious customs should not be stated as a reason to stop someone from competing in a sport.
