NFL's Puka Nacua Called Out Over Antisemitic Touchdown Celebration Plan


Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is being called out online over a gesture he said he would do if he scores a touchdown in tonight’s Thursday Night Football match-up against the Seattle Seahawks.

While on a live stream with Adin Ross and N3on, Ross suggested a gesture for the 24-year-old athlete’s next touchdown celebration.
