nigga you serious? Oh, its from reddit, MAYBE that's why this is stupid. just maybe. Hes a caster who actually isn't pants-on-head bad like most casters, who cares if he calls someone a dumb nigger? To be fair, how stupid do you have to be to attack a protoss up a ramp? | ||

we have a lot of work to do here ladies and gentleman, thats at least 3 citations of nigger, so we know the punishment must be grave let's get him fired and harass all of his current and previous employers with comments about it let's make sure he leaves esports forever let's make sure to comb over every game or vod or replay of him so he loses all sense of privacy and security let's be certain his friends and family know so that they hate him as much as we do, the all powerful, all seeing internet let's repost it in every thread and social network so everyone knows Okay good, now i'm sure nobody will ever use the word nigger on the internet again. That'll show them. | ||

Nigger is pretty much a normal thing to say tbh, its got nothing to do with racism, its just a word thats easier to say then black people.. just like niggers say whiteguy, it also isnt racism.. also niggers can say nigger to fellow niggers, while when a whiteguy says the same its all of the sudden racism? People saying that nigger cant be said should lighten up a bit And about the lying part, who cares that Orb lies... (i dont even know him while i have the feeilng i know pretty much players in the sc2 community) Now i think about it, this topic is pretty bad I don't know where you're from, but I dare you to go around saying that. Here's some advice, don't. On topic, I've never really liked orb. | ||

And it doesn't matter if its ladder or at a tournament, should make no difference. He is now in the eyes of all his followers as he has grown, he should now take responsibility in everything he does. I want eSports to pick up as much as the next guy, and it is stuff like this that needs to change. | ||

I'm from Belgium, studying in the UK. In Belgium people don't really care much about the n-word, as WallieP describes. In the UK though, everyone is damn sensitive about it! I guess it's different everywhere. | ||

He is so stiupid:D The fact that you think the term "gay" can be used to describe something you don't like is inherently homophobic. | ||

He's a "professional" commentator, if you want the e-sports scene to be taken at least SOMEWHAT seriously from the rest of the world, there needs to be a higher standard than this (this, also referring to the countless people in this thread saying who cares). If he was some no-name on ladder, then yeah I wouldn't care.. but guess what? He isn't some no-name. He is, like it or a not, a representative of OUR community because of the viewers he gets. So an example needs to be set by EG, or whoever, so that it doesn't continue and our community improves. That said, let the guy continue commentating. | ||
