Los Angeles Rams receiver Puka Nacua’s tumultuous Thursday started with an apology, and ended with more controversial remarks

Nacua promised streamer Adin Ross on a livestream that he'd do a dance called the "covetous Jew," and did it for his viewers.

Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua apologized Thursday after he agreed to perform an antisemitic touchdown celebration during an appearance on a live stream. Nacua issued a statement, saying he was unaware the celebration contained an antisemitic gesture. His full statement read:

Nacua, whose Rams face the Seattle Seahawks on "Thursday Night Football," isn't the only member of his family who has recently made headlines for the wrong reasons. His brother, Samson Nacua, was arrested Saturday for allegedly stealing the SUV of Los Angeles Lakers forward Adou Thiero.

Puka Nacua did not hit a controversial dance following a touchdown on Thursday night. The Rams superstar scored in the fourth quarter of Los Angeles’ road matchup with the Seahawks, but when he got up to celebrate, he spun the ball, performed a quick gesture with his arms, and then had some fun with his teammates.

Critics raised concerns after the wide receiver appeared to mimic an "antisemitic" meme during a recent livestream.

Rams WR Puka Nacua on NFL referees on Adin Ross’ stream: “The refs are the worst. These guys are lawyers. They want to be on TV too. You don’t think he’s texting his friends in the group chat like, ‘Yo, you just saw me on Sunday Night Football. That wasn’t PI but I called it.’” pic.twitter.com/roNonieP0d

Sean McVay appeared blindsided when reporters asked him about his star receiver Puka Nacua's social media post immediately after the Rams' loss to the Seahawks. The post on X came just after Nacua slammed NFL referees during a livestream and accused some of them of making calls in games just to get on television.
