"I think about Meyers Leonard last year, two years ago. Meyers Leonard, you know, he was a forward for The Heat who was caught. He was streaming on Steam playing, like, I cannot remember what game he was playing, and he used a pretty offensive term towards Jews. I think it was, like, Call of Duty. And we called him out. The Heat dropped him. He hasn't been picked up by another team. So he pretty much got cancelled. By the way, we've worked with Meyers over the years. We worked with him right away after that. He's done some good stuff with us calling out hate on video games since then. … He lost his whole career."
