Maurice Hawkins Told "Shut Up, N***er" At WSOP Event? - Page 12 - Poker News

I'm the author of the article. Yes, you got everything right except for the penalty: it was a two level penalty, so he was basically forced to miss the rest of Day 1.

There's no two level penalties in the WSOP rules - if this is true they decided to make it up on the spot. How long was left in the day when he was forced to miss the rest of the day?

the difference between a slur and a threat is one uses a verb. the intent is rather similar.

Hmmmm.....

"You're a stupid N*****"

"I'm going to blow your head off with a shot gun"

I'd hate to be so sensitive to words that I think the two statements above are similar in intent.

And who cares how good or bad of a person the guy who got called ****** is? It's not OK to call him ******. If he calls someone honkey or chink or **** or whatever, notify a floor and have him DQ'd. None of that is OK.

Do you honestly think that if Hawkins called this guy a cracker, he would've been DQ'd?? There would not have even been a penalty I reckon.

What about homophobic, transphobic and Islamophobic slurs?? They get banned as well?

what if i call someone a monkey

a.) the person is asian
b.) the person is black

do we just go off history where monkey has more commonly been an insult directed towards blacks rather than asians?

or can i just call everyone a monkey, which i think is the most fair.. kind of unfairly judging me to assume that i would mean "monkey" towards a black person differently than i would an asian.
