Highly inappropriate words, which he later stated that in his language, the expression is part of a meme often used in Spanish, and he didn’t really mean that he would literally bomb them. Nonetheless, I think all statements of this kind should not be taken lightly, no matter what they mean in a different language.
Some think that this is a harsh punishment that the player will be facing, others think that he should be punished even further for using violence in such a light way.
