You'd not see a response by some one on tv like this in any other arena. On the plus side, pure class from John. Have you ever watched actual sports? You seem to have some kind of wild, brood-war inspired misconception that they're just mannerfests. They're not. The scandals in real sports are so big that shit like what happened here wouldn't even go reported because of how minor it is. | ||

You talk bad about my friend? I broadcast that to thousands of people to make you feel bad. The whole reason Tasteless said it on air is to make this guy feel bad. I don't believe he thought that story was interesting to tell, just that it made him upset. Having watched Tasteless commentate for BW and now SC2, you can tell Tasteless gets very emotional and has an awkward sense of righteousness. I hope he becomes more professional about his work and keep private matters private. Otherwise, despite many people liking tasteless, he may get knocked due to bad ethics. In America. | ||

User was warned for this post Anyway, I think we can all agree that going up to someone, saying they do their job poorly, and asking to replace them is not a kind thing to do. Even though he said he was nervous and not fully composed when he asked, there still wasn't any reason for him to ask in the first place. That aside, I feel like there was no reason for Tasteless to tell this story publicly. I don't hold it against him, and I'm not saying that it was wrong of him, but realistically there's no real reason to say that kind of thing in a cast. Then again, I haven't watched any of the GSL streams and I don't know what the tone of the commentary typically is, so I can't really say much about that. Afterwards, however, I feel like this guy is a hero for coming out, admitting it was him, and publicly apologizing. It would've been very easy for him to keep his mouth shut and let everyone forget about the incident, but he did what he should've done, which is admit that he made a mistake and say he was wrong. What I really appreciate from his apology is that he didn't even ask for forgiveness because he realized he didn't really deserve it. Yeah, he did something stupid, but he did the absolute best he could've done to make up for it after the fact. | ||
