Heat's Meyers Leonard Uses Anti-Semitic Slur During Call of Duty Live Stream

Miami Heat center Meyers Leonard used an anti-Semitic slur while playing Call of Duty during a live stream.

Leonard can be heard calling another player a "f--king k--e b---h" (warning: video contains profanity and an anti-Semitic slur):

The 29-year-old has built a following through his streaming sessions on Twitch and announced a partnership with FaZe Clan in June 2019.

Leonard's use of the slur comes amid an increase in anti-Semitism in the United States. The Anti-Defamation League reported acts of anti-Semitism began to increase in 2016 after dropping for almost 15 years.
