When you are streaming you are representing your sponsors and team... You must act professional or you will not get support. Like so. | ||

Just like people are free to say to his team and sponsors that they think he's racist and ask them to drop him. Freedom of speech doesn't mean there are no repercussions, just that you're allowed to speak. You still have to deal with whatever the repercussions of what you actually choose to say are. Just don't be surprised when you insult people based on their race if they get offended and exercise their freedom of speech by, quite correctly, calling you a racist scumbag. | ||

Some people here saying him being fired is bad for esports, tell me: a newcomer gets here, he watches a random stream that happens to be Destiny's. Since it has a lot of people it must be good and what the community of this game likes. Now he sees how he behaves. What might he think? If this community supports a player that is xenophobic, angry, and badly educated the viewers either are having fun at the character or probably aren't that different. Either way, see ya. Esports is better without people that behave like this. If we allow someone to misbehave like this, there's no reason not to allow everyone else. And about all the comparisons to other sports. I wonder how much you really watch any sport, because at least in my country, we don't see this kind of stupidy in television. Were destiny a football player, i would laugh if he would tried to appear as if he was right after insulting someone. If someone on the field insults someone else, and that happens to be caught on tv, i assure you it's not good for the player. If the referree is insulted, instant yellow card. If you insult someone here on TL, you get warned / banned. What's the logic behind that, that suddenly stops being valid in twitch.tv or battle.net ? Football players insult each other all the time nonstop, you are being naive. It's a common tactic to bait cards when the insulted player goes harder than he should trying to get the ball. And really? Do you really care about what people say on effin battle.net? TL is a place with standards and that's why we're all here, but battle.net is a gaming hub. All kinds of people saying whatever the hell they want, it's hasn't been that pretty since ever. | ||

I am sure another team will try to pick up him up for entertainment value... not for winning tournies. | ||

Trying to make it more than it is doesn't do anything but inflame the situation, though we're long past that point. | ||

So if you know any other pro players going "gook" or other racial slurs out there just post the screenshots here and let the community decide and tell the sponsors (and Blizzard for that matter) if they find it acceptable. thanks for asking. God, this is such a toxic attitude. Yeah, let's have a very vocal minority on one forum or two debate whether someone should be fired or not. | ||

Journalist or politician on national TV is anonymous? Is anyone submitting his photo with his face on it on facebook/other site with his name in profile anonymous? What are you talking about? + Destiny didn't suddenly become person he is. He's been like this for years, that's the reason he got popular and you won't tell me that quantic or anyone involved with him didn't know that. | ||
