so you're basically saying that cause some websites/companies have shitty reputation no1 should sponsor?
so you also suggest that no1 should buy games from any gaming company cause EA is so shitty and has such terrible reputation?
from what i gather, brazzers is pretty legit, solid and respected company in that field

I just feel they are going to illegitimize the whole industry in one fell swoop.

Meh, the fighting game community have always been the 4chan of esports. And I highly doubt they'll even see that as an insult.

You are a prime example of what many people in the fighting game community don't like about esports. Instead of focusing so hard on the industry, how about you just play + watch the games that you love so much.
Too much drama is being spread about ONE PLAYER who is being sponsored. LI Joe clearly stated that he isn't going to be escorted by pornstars to tournies or force the tourny organizers to play a bunch pornographic ads. He's just going to wear t-shirt with brazzers logo to rep the company, and then brazzers pays for his flight tickets and possibly hotel bills. As of right now, that's all there is too it. He even said that he will pull out if things start to get a bit iffy.

That's because their forum moderation is pretty lenient on letting their community express themselves freely. If the TL forum moderation weren't so strict you'd probably see the same type of behavior. Also there are people in the FGC that are taking this discussion seriously, and there are some that are for "esports" despite what the guy above is saying.

baaaad idea, the quote in the OP which was edited in says it all, this would be bad for esports
|
good, the fgc is severely lacking sponsorship. you know there is something wrong when vVv is an organization at the top of the community, they hardly even sponsor players.
more money and exposure for the FGC, a niche community, is always good, no matter the source.
fuck colombian drug money would be a good source of income for a member of the FGC.

lolololololololol
New update from the LI Joe stream, BangBros is now talking to a specific player looking to sponsor. LOL so good I can't wait until fighters actually have a professional scene based entirely off porn and liquor companies rofl

Also the FGC is resisting MLG because of two people in capcom for the people mentioning that.

There's quite a bit of misinformation on this thread. That's my two cents. Those who follow the FGC will know I am. Anyways, just don't take everything you see here on TL about FGC as absolute truth.
Remember what ponies teach, love and tolerate <3

OP is a little vague, but overall this is kinda ridiculous if it is hurting e-sports by taking away sponsors then a brazzers team should definitely be denied imo...

Now here's a question: what can the leagues really do to stop it? Teams might not accept Brazzers (or other porn sites) as a sponsor, but what's to stop an independent player from wearing a T-shirt with their logo on it?
I know MLG* can have you change your 'attire', but is that to MLG's benefit? My understanding of that rule is so you can't walk into the booth in a giant penis costume, or a 'screw MLG' shirt or something. If they choose to reject players based on who pays for their plane tickets, they could get into a mess.
To bring up something from recent E-Sports history: I'm sure most of us have seen/heard about Scarlett's impressive IPL run. She got there through a 'sponsor me' tournament, and was talked to by at least one team manager we know of. What if there's more Scarletts out there? Would they take a Brazzer's sponsorship to have a shot at the top? If a league were to put the kibosh on sponsorships like that, they could be squashing independent talent.
*MLG selected as an example because I know they have such a rule. Please consider all leagues hypothetically in this discussion.
