Play! Pokémon breaks silence on champion after antisemitic accusations
Play! Pokémon has today released a statement on an incident last month involving a regional champion and a video featuring an antisemitic symbol, with the player set to escape punishment.
After claiming victory at the Hartford Regionals in Connecticut back in May, TCG player Rowan Stavenow was called out for antisemitic behavior when a video circulated of him with a swastika shaved on his head. He has since apologized, explaining he was unaware the symbol was being shaved on his head at the time.
