“Fucking cowards, Don’t fucking snipe me you fucking…. k**e bitch”

I mean come on man, after all the shit that has gone in throughout the world and country the last year plus you have to know better than to drop a slur like that. ESPECIALLY when you are live streaming yourself playing a video game for thousands of viewers.

Leonard is someone who is very familiar with the video game world and Twitch, he has his own channel that he streams on frequently during the NBA season.

For someone who is in the public eye so frequently, it is very disturbing for him to say something like that. Like it or not, NBA players are looked upon to be role models and saying shit like that is hurtful to so many people.

Leonard is currently injured and out for the season, so he has been streaming more and more on Twitch to remain relevant and make some extra cash using his stream.

He is a member of FaZe, albeit an honorary member, who is also an investor in the organization that has always been the most notable eSports team/company.

He quickly ended his stream after the incident, saying his wife needed him and “something came up.” Yeah Meyers, we all know what just “came up” you got caught being an anti-semitic fuck and had to go figure out how you and your PR team are going to try and spin their way out of this mess.
