The player is indhoyaar and made a rough challenge, commentator simply stated that it was very brutal it was similar to martial arts, doubt he intended to make a comparison because the player was Asian, but it’s crazy what’s going on. Cancel culture is coming for everyone

They're racist for implying that martial arts is inherently Asian.
