If the former, that sets a potentially dangerous precedent. If the latter, would TL display the same caution if Budweiser decided to sponsor a player? Murky ground. | ||

But not allowing it is perpetuating the thing we've spent most of this thread discussing, the ROI of a pornsite sponsoring an esports team. In my opinion if Dragon is allowed to be featured as a streamer then this thread should be featured. Featuring Dragon but not this thread would still advertise porn to the people on TL via dragon streaming. Now if he's no longer featured because his channel would advertise YP to potentially minors that's a whole different conversation. but as long as he's a featured streamer the end result is still the same. EDIT: I realize I use "advertise porn" and "advertise YP" interchangeably, as they're basically the same for all intents and purposes | ||

There might also be a problem with the type of ads that this discussion makes likely to pop up | ||

If E-Sports wants to be legitimate, pornography sponsors are exactly what it doesn't need. What a step in the wrong direction. Back in 2011, I really thought I'd be watching SC2 games on TV by now, with teams sponsored by Budweiser and stuff. Instead, I'm still watching games on streams with viewership that has declined, and teams sponsored by pornographers. How could SC2 have been managed so poorly? | ||

Is he even in Korea, I had no idea until today he was even still trying to be a player as opposed to just a streamer | ||

How could SC2 have been managed so poorly? lol, you're a perfect example of the type of people that cause sponsors to not want anything to do with the scene. whenever anyone decided they wanted to step in and help, they had to be judged by the TL community first and the only ones to talk would be people like you who wanted to complain, start witch hunts, and chase the sponsors/players off with your illogical thinking. How exactly is a beer company sponsoring a team any different than a porn company? If anything, porn would be more accepted right? I don't remember porn causing accidents, unruly behavior, and other problems that break up families. Also, the legal age for viewing porn in most states is 18 (lower in some others). The legal age for drinking is 21 and you're concerned about the minors who watch and see the letters "YP"? Sounds hypocritical to me. Maybe I'm not being logical here because my jimmies have been rustled a bit, but don't you think you're part of the problem with your way of thinking? | ||

I've never understand what's so wrong with pornography. It's a legitimate business. | ||

But this team isn't sponsored by YouPorn : their logo doesn't appear anywhere and no advertisement of YP is made. It is funded by YP, which should be an important difference. | ||
