[QUOTE="haasi, post: 1600877, member: 9034"] Same feelings as a Jewish illini fan. I’ve always been proud of Meyers and he seemed like a standup guy from rural Illinois with a fantastic story. Really saddened to see him say such a hateful, horrible thing. Unfortunately I watched the video. I get that people say all sorts of nasty appalling stuff on twitch, but the way he said it (he paused before, then really emphasized it) doesn’t do him any favors. He was one of the few Illini guys we’ve been able to follow in the nba over the last decade, and he was a bright spot (25 point first half explosion in playoffs, fans and teammates apparently love him despite limited contributions, etc.). This casts a shadow over all of that, and it’s really sad. Illini have a surprising and really great history with Jewish culture- lots of Illini have played in Israel including the father of Israeli basketball Tal Brody and Illini legend Deon Thomas. I’m very disappointed. [/QUOTE]
