Gardner was on Adin Ross' livestream on Monday
New York Jets star Sauce Gardner came under scrutiny on Tuesday after he suggested in a livestream video with Adin Ross that Jewish people "run the world."
Gardner was on with other popular streamers in Ross’ studio. The conversation was about how Ross was able to purchase the Tesla Cybertruck when it first came out. Ross said a "Jew sold it to me because I’m Jewish," which prompted the cornerback’s remark.

"Y’all gotta see how they be walking in the airport," he added, mentioning how some Jewish people wear their hair.
Gardner was met with laughter and more analysis about those who are Jewish. Ross then tried to defend everyone who was talking about it.
"I’mma tell y’all the truth. First of all, everyone here is allowed to speak about Jews because I’m gonna give everyone the Jew pass," Ross said. "Y’all are observing. I’m not offended."
