The Milwaukee Bucks recently signed Meyers Leonard to a 10-day contract with the team. Two years ago, Leonard was with the Miami Heat when he used an antisemitic racial slur while caught on tape playing the video game “Call of Duty.”
The Heat quickly distanced themselves from Leonard and later cut him. Leonard, who later apologized for what he said, almost considered quitting after what took happened.
But he seems to be back on the right track and credits his newly formed relationship with the Jewish community and the support of others as the reason he has become a better person.
“I spent some quality time with my family, tried to rehab myself, and feel pretty darned good about where I’m at.”
