which to me is the most straight forward line of thinking. Intel gives money to EG to represent their brand. Intel is an international company that wants to sell their product to every single human being on the entire planet. the N-word is offensive to many black people. any one representing Intel and using this language is harming a segment of the market Intel is attempting to sell its product to. If EG does not do something about it you can be damn sure Intel sure will. Intel will not allow some foul mouthed adolescent (in mind if not in body) screw up all the hard work they are doing attempting to sell their product to the world. Its all about money. Intel is not going to pay someone to screw up any segment of any marketplace they've worked very hard to acquire over the past 20 years. "So you think that money is the root of all evil?" said Francisco d'Anconia. "Have you ever asked what is the root of money? http://www.aynrand.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=7429 the small business that i own is a profit maximizing entity. i never offend my customers for emotional self absorbed reasons. i may offend them with my hourly rate or my opinion on how to solve one of their problems. but never because of the kind of silliness displayed in this incident. Capitalism is the cure for racism. | ||

Capitalism is the cure for racism. not to mention EGs numberous other sponsors, i mean people aparently wrote to there sponsors complaining, so while im pretty sure EG would ahve kicked orb out regardless (i believe Scoots said just that on Lo3) they probably also got some pressure from sponsors | ||

Like CatZ is a player for coL, and he is a well respected member of the community. He is not really a liability. Orb on the other hand, for such a big corporation like EG, huge liability. | ||

So sponsors like creative don't care but intel does? And what if CatZ switched to EG? Would it be a big deal then? And oh, btw, CatZ was on MLG Winter Arena, even though he makes racist comments? What's that about? MLG is not that big of a corporation I guess. Stop trolling dude. CatZ: Nigger in front of 3000 viewers -> Nobody cares Orb: Nigger in front of 200 viewers -> Outrage as fuck This is ridiculous. | ||

Orb your good bro don't let this get you down i still watch your stream some people in this community just sit at there computer and find things to complain about because they have nothing better going on in there lifes. To be offended by this just shows how immature part of this community is I am a grown adult words don't hurt me or offend me as much as it did when i was 13. Instead of complaining about this people should be talking about how some casters just don't know what they are talking about even though they have been casting for months. | ||
