Should this racist be cancelled?


29 y/o Miami Heat Centre, Meyers Leonard was heard screaming a shocking anti-semitic slur during a live Call of Duty game stream on TWITCH where he yelled "F***ing cowards. Don't f***ing snipe me, you f***ing k-word b****"

Leonard is then seen taking a call before excusing himself saying he needs to speak to his wife which presumably he was called out on his channel and someone he knew told him about it

Dailymail has reached out to the Heats team for a response

He already raised eyebrows during the NBA's 2019-20 restart outside Orlando last summer when he was the only player who STOOD during the national anthem while others knelt in protest against racism

He explained his decision stating he could be a "patriot" while supporting BLM. He said "I am with the Black Lives Matter movement and i love and support the military nd my brother and the people who have fought to defend the country i love fought for our freedom and rights"

The 7 foot former University of Illinois star was taken with the 11th pick of the 2012 NBA Draft by Portland where he played most of his career before moving to Miami where he has earned nearly 60 million so far

The Heat has a team option on his contract meaning they can cut him and save 10 million should they do so

Leonard also has a decent following on twitch with over 64,000 followers as he said in an interview he is a "gamer" at heart

Should this racist be cancelled?

do you think that's an acceptable thing to say? if you were the CEO of a company and he worked for you, would you be OK with him staying on?

alright so I listen to a lot of sports tv and podcasts and stuff, and I have listened to a lot of actual Jewish sports talking heads who were legitimately hurt by this. This whole thing brings up so many questions (that they have all asked):

  1. what if this was the N word? Would be still be on the team right now?
  2. how much does a players worth mean when cutting him for saying something racially insensitive/doing something terrible
  3. why are people more okay with some racism than others?


the weird thing about this guys situation is that.. hes hurt. Hes not even playing for the heat right now. He likely was never going to play another game for him, and literally all he is.. is a contract they were going to try and trade away by the trade deadline, and if they didnt, theyd keep him till the end of the year and not renew his team option.

so they can cut him.. but it may really affect the teams ability to trade for a semi star player, and they were literally in the nba finals last year, and pat riley is old as fuck..

its just a strange situation

honestly this is a good take

it may be the case that this is just garbage propaganda news meant to rile people up so we're at each others' throats over stuff most people haven't even realized is important

like, jesus people most Americans are still stuck in the 1990s as far as critical race theory is concerned because they never had internet and they don't talk to anyone outside their bubble of drinking friends
