eUnited CoD pro JKap apologizes for use of homophobic slur DexertoTwo time Call of Duty world champion Jordan \u2018JKap\u2019 Kaplan has apologized for his use of homophobic language, after it was caught on a fellow CoD pro\u2019s stream. JKap has been a hot topic in the CoD community of late, after he was moved to a substitute role for eUnited following their disappointing finish at CWL Fort Worth. There has also been community discussion over his relationship with eUnited teammate James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks, and how much this impacted the decision to drop him from the starting line-up. It was while referring to Clayster that JKap used the homophobic slur, which was picked up on the stream of 100 Thieves player Kenny \u2018Kenny\u2019 Williams. On March 23, JKap issued a public apology via Twitter. JKap explained that he was sorry for using the term and that he let his emotions get the best of him \u201cin the moment\u201d. Kaplan went on to acknowledge that the use of the term was \u201cunacceptable\u201d and that it \u201cdoes not reflect my values as a person\u201d. The apology concludes that the behaviour will not be repeated. I want to apologize for something I said the other day. I let my emotions get the best of me in the moment and used a homophobic slur. This is unacceptable behavior from me and does not reflect my values as a person. I’m sorry for the language I used and it will not happen again. \u2014 Jordan Kaplan (@JKap415) March 23, 2019 I want to apologize for something I said the other day.

His apology has received a largely positive response, with fellow Call of Duty pro Renato \u2018Saints\u2019 Forza replying \u201csalute bro\u201d, and others generally being forgiving of what happened. It is clear JKap wants to draw a line under the incident and focus on what\u2019s next in his career, which currently lies in the balance as he sits on the bench of eUnited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
