Rams’ Puka Nacua Apologizes for Antisemitic Gesture on Livestream

The NFL and the Rams condemned antisemitism, with potential discipline still pending.

Overview

  • During a Tuesday livestream with Adin Ross and N3on, Nacua rehearsed a hand‑rubbing motion and agreed to use it as a touchdown celebration.
  • Nacua later posted an apology saying he did not realize the gesture’s antisemitic meaning and stated he rejects racism and bigotry.
  • The NFL and the Rams issued statements denouncing antisemitism, and no formal league penalty has been announced so far.
  • In the same stream, Nacua criticized referees as seeking TV time, a violation that typically draws fines under league policy.
  • Team officials blocked Ross and N3on from entering the Rams’ facility for the planned stream, and public backlash included Rep. Eric Swalwell calling for an apology or his removal.
