  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis has apologised after using an anti-Asian slur on social media, stating he had been unaware the term was racially offensive. In a since-deleted post on Twitter, on Sunday, the 24-year-old Super Bowl winner had remarked: "Gotta stop letting gooks in Miami." Davis later apologised, saying he believed the word was specific Florida slang for disparaging someone as "weak" or "lame". "I would never offend any group of people," Davis wrote in a subsequent tweet. "You reporters can look for another story to blow up. "The term was directed towards a producer claiming he 'ran Miami' With that being said I'll retire that word from my vocabulary giving the hard times our Asian family are enduring. "I used a term that from where I come from has always meant 'lame' but I did not realize it has a much darker, negative connotation. "I have learned a valuable lesson and want to apologize to anyone that was offended by seeing that word because we need to focus on helping each other during these tough times." Davis's tweet comes amid a surge of crimes against people of Asian descent since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Activists have attributed the rise in attacks to repeated references by former president Donald Trump and others to Covid-19 as the "Chinese virus." rcw/dmc
