"Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua was fined $25,000 by the NFL on Friday for comments he made about league officiating on a livestream, NFL Media reported. The fine comes in the wake of Nacua also criticizing NFL referees in a post on X immediately after the Rams' 38-37 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. The tweet was deleted a short time after it was posted."
"During a livestream Tuesday with YouTubers N3on and Adin Ross, Nacua was asked if he thought referees might bend the truth at times when making their calls. "Oh, a hundred percent," Nacua answered matter-of-factly. "Yes, the refs are the worst." It was a tumultuous week for Nacua, who apologized Thursday for making a antisemitic gesture during the same podcast, saying he didn't know that the gesture was considered offensive."
