In their statement, Toronto claims that they are "building an inclusive culture" with players and staff "having the responsibility to meet those standards."

Cammy tweeted out a separate apology, claiming: "I will work with my team to address this & seek more knowledge on the impact of my words."
Ultra Cammy on Twitter Last night, I posted using a word that is completely unacceptable. While I didn’t mean offence, I know words matter & have consequences. I take full responsibility & wholeheartedly apologize. I will work with my team to address this & seek more knowledge on the impact of my words— Ultra Cammy (@CammyMVP) April 1, 2021 Twitter
Fans, fellow pro players, and casters have sided with Cammy, as they perceive the Ultra's decision to punish the pro player as a harsh decision. CDL caster Miles Ross jokingly asked McKilligan "what have you done now, ya wee c*nt?"
If this is the precedent the CDL team has set, it remains to be seen if other teams will follow suit or if they'll brush Ultra's decision aside for being too strict.
