Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua has apologized for performing an antisemitic touchdown celebration on Adin Ross' livestream Tuesday.

During the livestream, Ross guided Nacua, a star wide receiver, through an antisemitic touchdown celebration, which ended with Nacua looking into the camera and rubbing his hands together — a stereotypical gesture indicating greed that Ross' fans call his "iconic Jewish dance."

Ross then asked Nacua to perform the celebration during the Rams' game against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night, and Nacua promised he would.

Nacua has faced backlash since his appearance on Ross' livestream, including from a prominent elected official.

"The Los Angeles Jewish community is on edge after the Bondi Beach massacre," Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said Thursday on X.
