Well said.
I never had any use for sports in general, professional or otherwise - but at least professional athletes USED to have some kind of code about what they would and would not say publically about competitors, teammates, coaches, owners, spouses, or life in general. That's certainly begun to break down, but in Esports it never even was. It's always been a crapfest where anyone can say almost anything they want and rarely is anyone held to account. I'll be watching to see how this whole nickmercs thing goes. I know it isn't exactly the same thing... but really it sort of is.

@reconzero Wait are you trying to tell me athletes used to not trash talk each other? Is it because it didn't happen or because the media didn't understand the affect it had on ratings? I don't believe for a second they didnt.
