yeah it is kind of disappointing but it's not like any actual sport is immune to it. when you have a basketball talker man saying, "nappy headed ho's" you get a backlash and he gets canned purely because of how large and emotional the basketball fan base is. gamers and esp. dota viewers are not that emotional

also worth noting that this is just twitter. twitter is a cesspool. the live couch stream is something else.

and chess has its own questionable history. hell there's probably more corruption and racism involved in the national spelling bee than here
