Bud Light launches their all star program where fans can vote for which Esports players they want BudLight to sponsor, which could prove a problem when facing tournament organizers like ESL who enforce their code of conduct banning teams with sponsors linked to porn, drugs, alcohol, or other adult content. And this week Team YP or Team YouPorn gets pounded for just that as they are banned from all ESL competitions. Capcom also bans Team YP sponsored Street Fighter players from wearing their Team YP shirts which show a sword penetrating a mountain range. Team YP responds by selling their Team YP T-shirts with the name pixelated and and the tag line “censorship in Esports.” Team YP follows up with a tweet saying “Team YP will overcome these obstacles and usher in an age of equal opportunity in esports for all” This is what the civil rights movement has been working for and if you allow this injustice to continue you are actively unraveling 62 years of work. To ensure the movement’s success Al Sharpton & Barack Obama have announced plans to champion this movement converting converting YouPorn’s previous moto of you will overcum to we shall overcum.
That’s it! Have a great week :)
