I just heard Daniel Klein got fired. Is this true or is this just a rumor?
Anyone have any actual news on this?
Forum Discussion
@hayhor well that puts a very jaundiced view on things.
@hayhor he's saying it's from 2007

- @OldTreeCreeper Yeah we knew that when it came out. It doesnt help when he interacts with the community in a negative way, which is what he was doing recently in response to criticism. So then he became a target and people dug it up. He was let go from riot a few years ago for similar.
Good lesson for the kids out there tho. If you post things online they can bite you later in life.@hayhor I wasn't aware of the negative interactions. Looked up a bit of it and he appears to have been very self important. Surprising that they let him away with it for so long. Sad way to live imo, with the opportunities he was given.
- @hayhor Give a breakdown! I’m not watching a vid! I did read the posts treecreeper linkposted :P
You’ll gey xp if you breakdown what’s said in vid ^.^@Koochi-Qjust the first bit

As for the others saying that he shouldn’t be fired for what you say outside work, as a company, you don’t want to associate yourself having employees who are racist and sexist. Even if DZK was good at his job, public perception is major consideration especially for a gaming company. Same reason why the sponsors of Overwatch League ditched Blizzard because of the recent accusations. And yes you should behave outside of work too. And no being racist is different from having different religions.
