Puka Nacua puts antisemitic controversy behind him with touchdown

Puka Nacua, a standout receiver for Los Angeles, returned to the field and scored a touchdown just days after sparking controversy with an offensive touchdown dance idea shared during a livestream. Nacua had planned a celebration that referenced a harmful Jewish stereotype, leading to widespread criticism and a public apology in which he stated he was unaware of the dance's meaning. The league condemned his actions, but Nacua kept his on-field celebration simple during his next game, avoiding further controversy. The week also brought additional challenges for the Nacua family, as Puka's brother Samson was arrested in connection with a stolen vehicle, and Puka himself made critical comments about referees during the same livestream. It remains uncertain if further disciplinary action will be taken against him.
