HELLOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WTF does "on behalf of Blizzard"? Is there an agreement? Where did you find this information?
How do you know those kids are paid by Blizzard? Where did you find this information?
If you have a problem with "muh politics in games" then take it up with the studios that create the problem, not those of us commenting on said news.
Will you just calm down? Nobody here made Blizzard do this. Nobody.
I don't care if Blizzard sides with Communists. I'm not surprised at all. I boycotted them long ago.
I just would like to know more information (not pulled from your ass) to form an opinion as to who is in the wrong here.
Is that fair? Is that reasonable?
If even with that statement from Blizzard, you still don't get it that everything was bound under Blizzard, then .. keep believing whatever you want!
Cheers!
PS: And Blizzard didn't created this problem. It was that player who has been banned, who created this whole problem.

Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.
It's not, it is in Blizzards rules. if you don't like it Don't compete, if you don't like the decisions your government makes? You have multiple avenues, you can leave, you can take a political stance in the proper forums, hell you can even participate in an armed revolt if you feel that passionately about it.
I actually support free Hong Kong, I have been there, love the place, but this professional competitor could have done much more for his cause had he complied with the rules and then used another forum to voice his political agenda.
At any rate, I doubt very much Blizzard will feel much from this at all.
If you want a new idea, go read an old book.
In order to be insulted, I must first value your opinion.
That political thing right now is VERY sensitive. Like..waaay sensitive. I mean, WAY WAY sensitive, andso , Blizzard had 1 way to resolve this. Banning him. A warning would just be TO less for what the guy did, because of how sensitive the situation in Hong Kong is.
A warning is equivalent with not doing anything to him. Next thing you know, other guy comes and make other political remarks and based on the past situation, he should be ok, as he would get a warning at worst. WHAT? Ban?! But that guy with Hong Kong , got a warning and you are banning me for less?!
And bum, same situation. You would come then here with a topic like "Blizzard is banning a guy who did less then the Hong Kong guy! Blizzard is EVIL!"

I can care less about your or others political views when I come to mmorpg.com . I have my own websites where I go and "feed" my political shit. I don't want to see that here.
But it seems you guys are already grabbing the forks and knifes and going on a crusade on an gaming website.
I wish you good luck with that.

Years after Jesse Owens' triumph in Berlin, he was in attendance at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico. On October 16 American athlete Tommie Smith won the 200-meter dash, breaking the world record at the time. Another American, John Carlos, finished third. As the two stepped up onto the podiums to receive their medals the crowd noticed that they had removed their shoes and were wearing black stockings. As the flag raising ceremony began Smith and Carlos, each wearing a black glove on one hand, raised their fists in a Black Power salute and looked towards the ground, creating one of the most memorable moments and photographs in Olympic history. Smith and Carols were suspended and removed from the Olympic Village.
Two black track athletes using the Olympics as a platform for a political protest caused all eyes to turn to Jesse Owens for a comment. Owens did provide his opinion in an interview. He said:
These kids are imbued with the idea that there's a great deal of injustice in our nation. In their own way, they were trying to bring out what is wrong in our country. I told them that the problem certainly belonged in the continental borders of America. This was the wrong battlefield. Their running performances would have done more to alleviate the problem. Rather than the disrespect they showed to our flag and the discourtesy shown to the Mexican Government.

As I said... I agree with what the guy said, but the stream was the wrong place for it. Just as if he had talked about how bad President Trump was, or how bad Elizabeth Warren was, or Obama, or Israel, or Mexico or anything else. He chose to make a political statement in his place of work and thus received the consequences.

sadly most people even in China have no problem with Hong Kong wanting to be on their own, just like people in the US could care less if Florida wanted to be its own country
No one is agreeing? Well , I think there are some who do. But even if there were none, is still my right to say my POV, right? ..right?
That's .. new to me. Is this real that people in US could care less if Florida wanted to be its own country?!

Nobody is stopping you from reporting the OP for starting this thread. If you're right, then the OP will be banned. It's that simple.
Now wether or not you agree with your employee is not the question. The question is whether an employee should be able to make such a statement while representing your pizzeria without prior permission.
To me, the answer is self-evident. Of course the employee has no such right to make such a statement while representing your pizzeria and potentially alienate many of your customers. To argue that they do is ridiculous. Now if that same employee wanted to wear that shirt at home on the weekend, more power to them, but that is quite different from what happened here.
