Nacua's mindset and values than any apology (which looks like something written by a professional PR person, btw) he offers.

a little word with Mr. Nacua about this idea!!

He got tricked by Adin Ross, who I have never heard of. I have no clue what the gesture was, either.

Good on Nacua for apologizing immediately when Swalwell called him out.

Though he doesn't seem like a bad guy, I sure hope he fails to score a TD tonight.

Go Hawks!

And he apologized.

Don't get the celebration gesture, either.

I will be rooting for Seattle, too.

I seem to recall some actors playing Ebenezer Scrooge (and probably Dicken's writings themselves) describing/making that devious gesture as they count their money to illustrate their greed. But, I certainly don't think there was any suggestion of Scrooge being Jewish.

So, I honestly don't know, but then I certainly don't frequent those sites either. News to me.

But, this player certainly should have known who he was hanging around with..

I thought it was from 1930s Germany. Apparently it’s from 1990s USA. Yikes.

The Happy Merchant is an antisemitic caricature of a Jewish man. The image appears commonly on websites such as 4chan, Reddit, Twitter and Instagram, where it is frequently used in antisemitic contexts.

Pepe the Frog, I knew, but no... This is new to me.

While Scrooge, himself, was not a Jew, his actions, even descriptions were meant to evoke that of a greedy Jew. His "redemption" was turning away from being like a nasty, greedy Jew and returning to a good Christian life of charity. "Oliver Twist" was much more blatant in its anti-Semitism as were some of his other works. "A Christmas Carol" was about "redemption".

I get that I'm a person who doesn't do celebratory dances, but I can't figure out how that gesture qualifies as celebratory even if I could look past the antisemitic nature of it.

Shame because he seemed to be a cool story. But then he does this nonsense.

I do hope that much like blackface has gone out of fashion that this sort of bigotry does too. Given I've seen a couple of articles about this, maybe the negative publicity will help on that front.

The player antics are juvenile.

How can you not know that a gesture called "the covetous Jew" is anti-Semitic? I'm not buying his plea of ignorance or apology at all.

It was in reference to him owning more than one home.

purposes.

And those accusing the Left of hysterics over this country's move toward authoritarianism and the rise of absolute Fascist and Nazi factions, are damned clueless. I'd like not to know about these examples, but it is best that we ALL do.
