Not at all, rather Leroux claimed that the celebration was in response to racist Tweets, and a chant of JUDAS from a game a year prior, not anything that was said during that particular game. I would argue that calling Leroux JUDAS is not racist nor something overly offensive based on her decision to play for the US.

The allegations of racism were merely based on a Tweet from Leroux implying racism and was never really clarified beyond that.
