"Professional Call of Duty player Maurice &#8220;Fero&#8221; Henriquez has been criticized after an old clip in which he uses a racial slur surfaced on Reddit, from before his days competing in the Call of Duty World League.\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\nPrior to turning 18 last year, Fero was an up and coming amateur player in the Call of Duty scene, well known in the online tournament and Search and Destroy community.\n[ad name=&#8221;article1&#8243;]\nDue to age restrictions, he was unable to compete professionally in CWL events, but still made a name for himself as a proficient player.\nNow 19, Fero has found himself on a top roster competing in the CWL Pro League under Team Kaliber, a storied organization in Call of Duty.\n\nMore: BitterSweet Return for CWL Anaheim with a New Call of Duty Roster\n\n[ad name=&#8221;article2&#8243;]\nAs a young player, he has made numerous faux pas during his breakout season, including using the &#8216;n-word&#8217; as he announced himself a free agent, prior to joining tK. He was quoting a line from a Drake song.\nOn June 5th, a Reddit post uploaded a short clip from Fero&#8217;s live stream, presumably from during the Black Ops III season (Nov 2015-16).\nIn it, he becomes infuriated after dying, exclaiming that he is never playing with black people again in money 8s and uses the N-word.\n&#8220;I&#8217;m never playing with f****** n****** again dude. I literally am blacklisting black people from money 8s, bro, I don&#8217;t give a f***. All they do is flank, it&#8217;s so dumb.&#8221;\nWarning: the following clip contains very strong language.\n\n[ad name=&#8221;article3&#8243;]\nIf during the Black Ops III season, Fero would be aged between 16 and 17 years old at the time of this clip.\nMany fans on Reddit were disappointed to hear the language used by Fero, despite the clip obviously being dated.\nComment from discussion Not a good look for fero.\nCard\n[ad name=&#8221;article4&#8243;]Card\n\nOthers also called his language &#8220;inexcusable&#8221; and &#8220;unprofessional&#8221;, and some were even harsher still.\nWhile his comments are vulgar and extremely racist, some argue he is simply being &#8216;edgy&#8217; in his youth and ignorance at the time of the clip.\n[ad name=&#8221;article5&#8243;]\nThere has been a recent trend with high profile personalities being exposed for past transgressions, particularly with searches on Twitter displaying racist or homophobic language used years ago.\nIt serves as another reminder that anything said on the internet whether by live stream or on social media can and will resurface years later."
