Pro Overwatch player gets banned for racist rant

[Return of the Jedi]

Can't agree on losing your job for saying something on your off time. Black, Yellow, red, green , purple, etc. I don't care what your race is, you should never get fired or even be brought to question, when you're at home, saying and or doing whatever you want. I know plenty of people who would come off as racist monsters if people knew what they said at home. Its sanctuary, you should be able to say anything so long as no one is getting hurt (obviously).

I understand what you're getting at. I'm all about not having employers get in on someone's private life, but this is wrong for a variety of reasons, especially in this context.

1.) This dude's job is pro gaming ( ). That is, for all intents and purposes, self employment.

2.) He has agreed to Blizzard's ToS, which I'm SURE has something in there about not using hate speech online.

He didn't play by their rules so they showed him the door. Fair game.





..in other, more traditional career fields, this is very commonplace. Employees are, whether they like it or not, a reflection of their employer in the public domain, including online gaming platforms. They can't do shyt like spout the n-word 50 times without fear of repercussion. It could effect the employers bottomline. Its even stronger in the public employment world. Military members are in violation of military law if they bash the President . Think about how hard that is in the year 2017.

There's consequences for everything. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from suffering the consequences for what you say

Not if its broadcast online via video or social media. Companies care about public image cuz thats money, if youre an employee of that company, you rep them and their brand which means they can fire you if you publically say shyt on record which could be a liability on said image. Also, stfu cac

So let me get this straight. You would say that in person to someone and expect them not to say something back?
