After the first time he was caught using racial slurs in public games, he was warned that his job was on the line. He did not control himself, and made the same mistake twice.
Stop acting like he was a helpless victim caught up in something that was out of his control.
It's ridiculous that it still has to be said. If I go around in public loosing my cool and cursing people out and using racial slurs and that gets back to employer, it's my fault if I get canned. If my employer has the decency to give me a final warning and I can't control myself after that, it doesn't matter how well anyone can justify my actions, it doesn't matter whether or not going around in public acting like an idiot does any major harm. It is my own responsibility to conduct myself in public in a reasonable way. If I don't want to, than I, as a mature adult, have to accept that my actions have consequences, just like Orb had to accept the consequences of his actions.
Now move along and watch the damn games, please.

Except after he was warned the other incidents were old ones from a year +. So yea that shoots your theory in the foot. People literally went thru 2 years of his VOD's to find those other 2 screenshots.
