It turns out that the less troublesome part of Rams receiver Puka Nacua‘s recent appearance on a livestream with two persons I had never heard of before, Adin Ross and N3on (not a typo), may have been his remarks against NFL officials.
Several readers have emailed us about another part of the film, in which Nacua performs a touchdown dance that contains an antisemitic cliché at the request of one of the hosts. During a game, Nacua pledged to perform the celebration.

SBNation.com’s James Dator provides an overview of the scenario. He said: “At best Nacua was uneducated about Ross and did something extremely stupid on a livestream. At worst he’s a willing participant in perpetuating stereotypes about the Jewish community.”
If Nacua scores a touchdown against the Seahawks on Thursday night, the next question is whether he will fulfill his promise to perform the dance. Nacua and the Rams should receive a clear warning from the league and the referees that Nacua will be flagged and punished if he participates in the Lions’ new booger-flicking celebration.
