Daniel?

http://www.cardplayer.com/poker-news/blogs/article/453

really?

I think you are as good as they come in the poker world . great player (or greatest player?), great ambassador, great everything. serious on above. no level.

but just some advice from the peanut gallery. promoting the ghey ritez is -EV for your image in the testosterone filled poker world.

not homophobic, I dont care what other people do and its not my right to judge.

and I was making no statement as to my approval or disapproval of ghey rights


I just think as a businessman and poker brand to be marketed. -EV for Daniel to come out so vocally on this topic. I guess he has his deal with stars so he doesnt care.

sort of like a Q'back in the NFL coming out in support of gay rights. His sponsorship deals shrink up to some degree.

you can argue that our society sucks because this is true, but thats another discussion

You have no basis for your contention that vocalizing support for equality will have negative business consequences for a professional poker player.
Your characterization of the issue as one of gay rights reveals your bias -- it is an issue of fairness and equal treatment. Your refusal to spell the word correctly also reflects your contempt. The "I'm not a bigot, but the consumer public is bigoted" argument says everything about what goes on inside your head. This kind of discourse does not belong here.

Is that DN's way of saying hes gay? or testing the waters for a future coming out? He is pretty effeminate. Not that I care, but he seemed pretty impassioned about it.

And basically, I'm much more interested in how I can be as good as he is at poker than whether he likes fantasy hockey, proposition 8 or freakin flapjacks for breakfast for God's sake.

Oh, and to my original reason for this reply - OP sucks.

LOCK Thread and ban OP
11-15-2008 , 05:39 AM
OP is a homophobe, ban and lock imo. I think its bold for negreanu to speak out on a contaversial issue, major kudos to him and fwiw i 100% support what he is saying.
