CoD pro F3rocitys defends use of racial slur said on stream MLGCall of Duty pro Maurice \u2018F3rocitys\u2019 Henriquez defended the use of racial slurs during his stream, and hit back at those trying to make the incident \u201ca big thing\u201d on social media. In since-deleted messages on Twitter, the inactive Team Envy member hit back at a post on the popular CoDCompetitive subreddit pointing out the instance using a clip of his September 2 Twitch stream. After a game of Search and Destroy, Fero and his teammates were reeling from the tight 5-6 loss in the post-game lobby. After light banter, Fero shocked audiences by apparently using the word on stream. 600While there was a ton of fan speculation in the moments after, the 20-year-old seemed to confirm the incident by hitting back at those that worked to \u201cbring (him) down.\u201d \u201cSo funny how people try to make me saying the word \u2018n***a\u2019 a big thing,\u201d Fero said in reply to the Reddit thread. \u201cMeanwhile 99% of pros say it but everyone loves me a lot so they constantly try to bring me down. So sad. Sorry for saying it (in-game)\u201d While he apologized at the tail-end of his message, he followed up the response with another account detailing why he believes some Call of Duty pros never seem to stream themselves. \u201cI realized why some pros never stream,\u201d Fero said. \u201cBecause what\u2019s the point. It\u2019s like I\u2019m getting arrested 24\/7 by \u2018supporters\u2019 who I\u2019m trying to provide entertainment for\u2026 Anything I say can and will be used against me, sorry officers!\u201d 600While the second message was made in support of his initial response to the backlash, the Call of Duty pro quickly took down both messages. This isn\u2019t the first time the young pro experiences backlash from using a racial slur. Previously, clips from 2016 surfaced in which Fero can be heard saying he would never play with \u201cfucking n****rs again.\u201d He later apologized for the resurfaced video. Fero hasn\u2019t had the best 2019 season, according to his reflection about his time on the 100 Thieves and Team Envy rosters. The pro is hopeful that he will \u201cget picked up by a franchised team\u201d in the upcoming Call of Duty competitive season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
