Live broadcast, February 24 news Meyers-Leonard, who signed a 10-day contract with Bucks, was interviewed by the media.
In March 2021, Meyers-Leonard, who was still working for the heat at that time, used anti-Semitic words in the live broadcast and was ordered to leave the team indefinitely. Then he was traded to thunder by the heat and finally dismissed by thunder.
Meyers-Leonard said that because he was strongly opposed after the incident, he sometimes wanted to escape, and he admitted that he had earned enough money to pack his luggage and start a new life elsewhere.
Meyers-Leonard: “Of course, the emotions here are very complicated. As an adult and a man, this is undoubtedly the most difficult two years in my life.”
Meyers-Leonard said that if no team had a very difficult period, it was an ignorant mistake to use this insulting word. He apologized again to all the people he offended. Since his whole life changed, it was a tough battle, but he believed that he had put himself into work and made people believe in his regret. He reiterated that he did not hate anyone and appreciated that he had established a great relationship with the Jewish community since his journey.
“I had a good time with my family and tried to recover myself. I am very satisfied with my current situation.” Meyers-Leonard said.
