The "antisemitism" cries are a complete joke and I actually feel bed for him in that regard.

 

The rest, he's just dumb. 

 

And I quote “and said he'll do a "Covetus Jew" TD celebration this week.”

 

Go ahead and try that at work, report back how that goes for you.  “Covetous Jew” is about as antisemitic as it gets

They are in the middle of a playoff and Super Bowl push with the one seed on the line, the NFL and Rams are like you need to apologize for this but nothing is going to happen to him unless he does something stupid again.

Go ahead and share the clip where Puka says those words.....

 

If you want to cry about it maybe blame the streamer, a proud jew I may add, who got Puka to ignorantly perform the dance

The guy whose livestream he went on, Adin Ross, has hosted Nick Fuentes numerous times. Do I think Nacua is an antisemite? Probably not, but who knows. He does seem dumb as the proverbial box of rocks, however. Ross has claimed to be a Christian, a Jew, A Muslim, etc., most likely to deflect from the fact that he has repeatedly hosted America's most famous (at the moment) virulent antisemite (Fuentes).

Cook has definitely streamed with one of those guys in the Puka stream a year ago, luckily they didn't get him to do something too stupid

 

Also  he knows ball

Damn, I had zero clue what covetous jew even meant. Never heard the term before and had to google it. So I guess rubbing your hands together is now offensive too? 

 

He's an idiot for the other stuff and hanging out with Adin Ross. However, I'm giving him a pass on this because it was Ross that suggested it and an unknowing Puka that was going along with it. Dude had zero clue it was seen as derogatory.

Maybe I misjudged, but I liked him when he took the league by storm as a rookie mostly because (in addition to snagging him on waivers in my fantasy league) he seemed to be the anti-diva keep your mouth shut type of WR

I actually have no idea what that meant so looked it up. 

 

I did hear the portion of the clip when Nacua said he "went to Shabbat", and the interviewer asked Puka if he was Jewish? and he said no, but he was invited to Shabbat before the Lions game so he went.  I thought that was pretty cool.  he seems like a guy that's just out there and you never know what he's gonna say.  So I personally don't think he's antisemitic but i do believe he's kind of dumb, or maybe lacks impulse control and doesn't think before he pops off a thought....or before he does things like stream in a locker-room.

This is why I wear Bills gear, but I have never owned a jersey.  I have no idea who they really are, even if the public persona isn’t obviously whacko like this.  

 

Maybe a bit odd, and my family wears jerseys, but it’s just not for me.  🤷‍♂️

I just remember bad guys rubbing their hands together in cartoons. Had no idea those bad guys were Jewish.

Everybody who doesn't understand the covetous J line.....

 

Remember.. Adolf Hitler stereotyped the covetous J or the greedy J as enemies

 

That slope is very slippery and you'd think the world would move past that

I watched the video. The livestream host - who is himself Jewish - asked him to rub his hands together. He clearly had no idea what that meant, and now he's being forced to go on an apology tour?

 

It's ridiculous.

These kinds of tropes were much more common in the past and have correctly been largely excised from general polite discourse.  When you see someone using them, or referring the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, you are safe to assume they’re an antisemite.   Anyone looking for constant daily reminders of this can go to 4chan, or better yet do not

 

Simon - that’s it for the politics for me i’ll shut up now

You’re doing more harm than good. Now I had to look up Protocols of the Elders of Zion.  All you’re doing is identifying more forms of antisemitism. LOL

I know I'm old but the amount of times this younger generation says the word "bro" drives me insane.

It feels kinda cool when a guy in his 20s calls me “bro” though. Better than “Gramps”.

I coach little league, 9-12. If they call me bro, they run poles! They run a lot.

His teammates most assuredly are not OK with him live streaming the locker room.

A LOT has been going on with this young man just THIS WEEK.

 

1. It started Sunday after the Rams game when he tried to go live on stream in the Rams locker room and even team mates told him to turn it off (he didnt and lied to them)

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

2. Continued on this week when he tried to bring other streamers into the Rams practice facility during the short week. Got him in big trouble with McVay.

 

Puka Nacua tried to bring internet streamers into Rams' facility but Sean McVay shut it down

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

3. Went back on live streams and aired the following takes (I'll condense these down to one point but could be 3 individual)

 

          a. Refs "are the worst" and make bad calls on purpose so they can get on TV for their friends

       

         b. Concussions arent real

 

c. Then made some comments about Jewish people I wont repost here, and said he'll do a "Covetus Jew" TD celebration this week.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

4. To top it all off, his brother has been arrested for stealing the truck of LA Laker Adou Thiero.
