Dan Bilzerian Banned from ESPN


So I posted a joke on twitter quoting Clint Eastwood in Gran Torino. The joke was

"A mexican, a jew and a colored fellow walk into a bar... The bartender looks up and says... Get the **** out of here"

Joy Miller read this and lost her mind... She told the CEO from victory poker that neither myself or any of the 20 sponsored pros would get any ESPN coverage until I gave a formal apology. I explained to her that it was a quote from a movie. She flipped out and started swearing and screaming at me about using the word colored. She sent me a bunch of angry texts, yelled at the CEO, and you can hear the voicemail she left swearing and yelling at me in the link below. I explained to her that the NAACP stands for the National Association for Advancement of Colored People, and if had a problem with the use of the world colored, she should seek an apology from them as well.

Thoughts?

Crazy Voicemail/video

NAACP

Re: Dan Bilzerian Banned from ESPN

I think the NAACP is allowed to use the word colored similar to how black people are allowed to use the n word.

Re: Dan Bilzerian Banned from ESPN

Something tells me this free publicity isn't going to hurt Victory Poker... especially to the demographic they advertised towards.

Re: Dan Bilzerian Banned from ESPN

The NAACP comparison is foolish. The group was founded in 1909 when the term 'colored' was probably the nicest description of blacks one might use. OP is a tool

Re: Dan Bilzerian Banned from ESPN

Just be sure to keep moving your head erratically when you make the final table so they will have a harder time focusing the blue dot over your face.
