Puka Nacua scores TD, skips antisemitic celebration after streaming controversy

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua scored his seventh touchdown of the season during Thursday night's game against the Seattle Seahawks, opting for a subdued celebration after recent controversy. Earlier in the week, Nacua appeared on a livestream where he practiced a touchdown dance that referenced an antisemitic stereotype, prompting backlash and statements from both the league and the Rams condemning antisemitism. Nacua apologized on social media, stating he was unaware of the gesture's meaning and expressing regret for any offense caused. The Rams reportedly instructed Nacua not to repeat the gesture during the game, and the incident has sparked broader discussion about discrimination in sports.
