Toronto Ultra\u2019s Cammy to undergo sensitivity training after vulgar tweet Call of Duty LeagueThe Call of Duty League\u2019s Toronto Ultra is sending Cameron \u2018Cammy\u2019 McKilligan to sensitivity training after the Scottish CoD pro had to apologize for posting a vulgar tweet. On April 1, Cammy issued an apology on Twitter after he used the word \u201cc**t\u201d a day prior. The word, which is considered very offensive in North America, is used much more liberally in other parts of the world. \u201cLast night, I posted using a word that is completely unacceptable,\u201d the Ultra star said. \u201cWhile I didn\u2019t mean offense, I know words matter and have consequences. I take full responsibility and wholeheartedly apologize.\u201d The pro further added he would be working with his team to address the offense and \u201cseek more knowledge\u201d on the impact of his words.

While many on Twitter took the Ultra\u2019s message as some sort of bizarre April Fools joke, the team clarified that the tweet was in fact real in a message to Dexerto. \u201cIt is not an April fools joke,\u201d the team said before addressing how cultural norms didn\u2019t factor into the decision: \u201cWhile he is Scottish, he lives and works in Canada and competes for a Canadian franchise. We have standards and values for our players and staff \u2014 and using words that demean women and their bodies is something we will never tolerate.\u201d Numerous fans and CoD pros expressed their criticisms of Ultra\u2019s decision, tweeting with a mix of sarcasm and disappointment while also pointing out that this sort of lingo was a lot more common outside of North America. I couldn\u2019t believe my eyes when I read it. It seemed like the earth stopped spinning and life came to a stop. Thank god you apologized. \u2014 Sam Larew (@OctaneSam) April 1, 2021 That word is just what we use instead of a full stop at the end of a sentence in the UK \u2014 Shane (@SHANEE) April 1, 2021 Cammy has not been suspended by the team and will feature for them at the CDL\u2019s LA Guerrillas Home Series, with the Ultra kicking off their final week of Stage 2 against the New York Subliners on Saturday, April 3.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
