"Lucas made a regrettable decision in the heat of the moment after a tough loss," the statement reads. "He searched for an explosion GIF using generic keywords to express how his team "blew up" during their loss, and in choosing one that matched the intensity of his emotions, he failed to realize how the imagery connected to a painful moment in Japan's history. We believe that there was no malicious intent, only a very serious lapse in judgment and awareness."

Ah yes, a "heated gamer moment". heated-gamer-moment

Yeah dude he was looking for a generic explosion and picked one of a super-shaky grainy video probably in black and white, sure. Maybe try a different lie lmao.

a "heated gamer moment".

[X] doubt.

He knew exactly what he was doing and is going with "It's just a prank, bro."

(Not directed at you, OP. I just don't give white boys the benefit of a doubt anymore)

Is this the most important expensive tweet ever? Wouldn't be surprised if it cost them millions of dollars in sponsorship money. Honda is in the team name, on all their merch, etc.
