直播噴種族歧視髒話！Meyers Leonard遭聯盟介入調查並無限期停賽！

今天Meyers Leonard涉嫌在遊戲平台的直播中，說出了一些歧視猶太人的字眼，聯盟隨即介入展開調查。

事源是這樣的：Meyers Leonard在TWITCH直播遊戲《決勝時刻》時，突然說出了歧視猶太人的字句「去你的懦夫，不要偷偷狙擊我，你這個該死的Kike。」當中"Kike"屬於歧視猶太人的意思。

引用在發現這件事情的嚴重性之後，Leonard馬上在自己的IG發出道歉聲明:「對於昨天在直播中使用了歧視詞彙，我深感抱歉。我當時並不知道那個詞語的確切含義，我對歷史的無知絕對不是冒犯猶太人的籍口，我真的錯了。我現在知道了它的含義，還有我正致力尋找可以幫助我了解這種仇恨和把它解決的人。我承認自己的錯誤，當然這次錯誤並不能代表我是什麼樣的人，我要向Arisons、我的隊友們、教練團、管理層和所有跟熱火有關係的人道歉，也向我的家人和我們忠誠的球迷道歉，還向猶太族群裡被我冒犯到的人道歉。我保證以後會做得更好，我未來的行動會比用這個詞影響更強大。」

"I am deeply sorry for using an anti-Semitic slur during a livestream yesterday," he wrote. "While I didn't know what the word meant at the time, my ignorance about its history and how offensive it is to the Jewish community is absolutely not an excuse and I was just wrong. I am now more aware of its meaning and I am committed to properly seeking out people who can help educate me about this type of hate and how we can fight it.

"I acknowledge and own my mistake and there's no running from something like this that is so hurtful to someone else. This is not a proper representation of who I am and I want to apologize to the Arisons, my teammates, coaches, front office, and everyone associated with the Miami Heat organization, to my family, to our loyal fans and to others in the Jewish community who I have hurt. I promise to do better and know that my future actions will be more powerful than my use of this word."

要知道自從美國爆發種族主義"Black Lives Matter"的大規模遊行後，聯盟更著重有關種族言論所帶來的影響。無論你是球星或是普通球員，你在任何場合包括網上也必須注意自己的言行舉止。否則，捲入種族仇恨的風波只會為自己帶來不利的影響，甚至是人生安全的威脅。
