EPTThe reason that high-profile sports people are held up to incredibly high standards is because they make an insane amount of money, while Demuslim probably gets a rather low salary compared to a day job. So Why should he have to live any more cautious than a normal working person? Most person will be unable to work when they break a bone, not just pro-gamers but most clerks, office workers, manual workers (obviously lol) etc.

If you can't see the difference between the unavoidable risk you take by leaving your house in the morning and the avoidable risk you assume by consuming alcohol, then you're reaching. I'm not saying that it's an unreasonable risk. I drink all the time, but I would never argue that's it's not inherently a risky behavior. It's just that I'm willing to assume the risk for what I perceive as the benefits of having a good time. But remember that when you're consuming any substance that dulls your wits or senses whether it's beer or cold medicine, you're almost always increasing the risk of something happening that could otherwise be avoided. This risk compounds when you're doing it in a setting where other people are assuming similar risks (bars, parties, etc.). Personally I really don't care a whole lot about the professionalism issue. Even though I believe it was unprofessional behavior, it's his right to behave however he wants so long as he is willing to assume the consequences. Besides, if things don't turn out well he has much more to lose in this than I ever will so whatever. Of course I wish him well as we all should, but this really isn't going to affect my day that much. People are getting a bit too emotionally invested in this, I think. | ||

Their story is "they got into a fight with drunks" and "DeMusliM broke his hand" and "they went out drinking after and only noticed the broken hand later". Right. Quite frankly, none of us know any facts other than "they went out drinking" and "they got into a fight with drunks". From my point of view, they did a stupid thing. Trolling does not equal disagreement. I've already made my side of the argument. You don't agree, whatever. I'm just going to end up repeating my arguments ad nauseum until every person on TeamLiquid has read this thread. Later. If you're gonna assume DeMuslim is just a drunkard getting into fights, we also have the right to assume you're just a troll. Don't even bother coming back. Here's hoping you recover soon. | ||

Assuming that this doesn't affect his ability to play well in the long run, which is something we don't yet know. Injuries are funny that way. | ||

Why do people here believe they have a right to judge this guy? You guys would not like your private issues being discussed on the internet either. This is all so ridiculous here with comparisons with NBA stars and what not. This guy earns probably less than the average person in Germany. Just because his profession is playing a game he is now somehow public property and people feel the need to discuss his stuff or even demand he displays some special "professional" behaviour? Its just absurd. | ||

Also lay off him, you can't expect him to stay locked in his bedroom all day. Also, hahahaha at the amount of people stating he took a risk. Going out for a drink with friends should not be and is not a risk. If that is a risk then so it's turning his PC on in the morning because he could get electrocuted. / InsurrectioN | ||

Its just absurd. Welcome to the world of celebrity. His income doesn't matter. The fact that he's well-known means that people are going to have opinions and express them. If he doesn't want people judging him or talking about him, he always has the option to fade into obscurity. I'd wager that he really doesn't care, though. People have every right to judge him and he has every right to ignore their judgments. On February 04 2011 04:31 Castiel wrote:. Also, hahahaha at the amount of people stating he took a risk.

Driving shouldn't be a risk so long as everyone obeys the rules and drives carefully, but it is because not everyone does. You calculate risks and make decisions in life everyday based on those calculations. I drive not because it's not risky, but because the overall benefits outweigh the probability that I might get broad-sided by an 18-wheeler. I don't think it's right to shrug off risk just because it seems reasonable to us because something that may be a reasonable risk for you may not be for someone else and if we misrepresent it, someone might get hurt because of it. Texting while stopped at a red light usually won't lead to anything bad happening, but it's not something I would write off as not being risky simply because it takes your attention away from the road and you may not be able to react as quickly in the event that someone else screws up. Drinking is essentially the same thing... Of course it's certainly less risky than playing with explosives, but that's really not the point I'm trying to get at. :/ | ||

The going out and drinking is no big deal, the getting into a fight is stupid as hell. More often than not whoever decided to start the fight isn't going to be happy until he had one. You try being diplomatic with an angry man with too many beers in his belly, it's actually impossible. | ||
