Critics raised concerns after the wide receiver appeared to mimic an "antisemitic" meme during a recent livestream.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is in some hot water after doing a "Jewish emote" on a live stream and promising to do it as a touchdown

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay appeared flustered when reporters asked him about Puka Nacua's since-deleted post ripping referees after their loss to the Seahawks on Thursday, Dec. 18.

CBS Sports has reported that Puka Nacua's dance clip went viral merely days after 15 people were slain in an attack on the Jewish community in Australia. The incident took place on the first day of Hanukkah.

Puka Nacua repeated a celebration dance from Adin Ross that has been described as antisemitic while on a stream.

Just days after a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia, Jewish communities across South Florida and the Treasure Coast gathered to celebrate the Festival of Lights.
