Holy shit wow. How does an almost 30 yr old not have the self control to keep themselves from screaming niggers across a hall?

did you ever play sports as a kid?
when you're a competitive person performing at a high level, politeness and courtesy tend to go by the wayside
That's not a word that I would ever use, so I can't say that I'd do the same, but I know that I said a whole lot of nasty stuff to my opponents back in HS basketball/football. Stuff that I would be embarrassed to repeat now and stuff that even then I realized was crossing the line.

Indeed... way to break the stereotype of comp video gamer as some kind of socially stunted man child.
Then to come in and be all like "I stopped after a while as I realised it was wrong", like you should get some kind of fucking badge for not being a total autist or something. Congrats, you weren't a douche nozzle for at least 15 minutes, have a prize.

Because Autist describes a condition where you have issues with social interaction I'm not using it as a slur per se, merely a description.

25 is almost 30? like I said, that was right after I got a 5k to win the first map of Grandfinals, suffice it to say we were a little hyped up. it's not like I planned it to stand on a chair and scream at the top of my lungs. I'm sorry to whoever got offended, if you search for the members of it that are of colored descent, you will find none. They should be the only ones who were potentially offended.

I think this might be the worst post in tf.tv history. You've done it man, congratulations! I love how much effort you put in to try and justify using a slur, instead of just admitting to it like anybody else would.

I don't understand how you people can get so worked up over this. Someone shouted a bad word in the heat of the moment in a competitive game? Big deal. It's not like he started sieg heiling like some soccer players seem to do.

It is just a massive fucking shame you/your friends default to racism and homophobia as insults. You look and sound like cunts, congrats. Even worse you are influencing the sheep that wish to ape your behaviour.
"autist : autism : A pervasive developmental disorder characterized by severe deficits in social interaction and communication, by an extremely limited range of activities and interests, and often by the presence of repetitive, stereotyped behaviors."
Sounds like you lot to me, I stand by my statement. Enjoy your circlejerk.

I feel like all of these people referencing sports haven't actually played any themselves. I played on pretty much every team that my elementary, middle, and high schools had to offer and I never once got shit talked nor did I shit talk anyone myself. Just because you're being competitive doesn't mean you suddenly forget how to conduct yourself in public. Even in university now I've never experienced shit-talk.

Ah, the classic "I've never experienced it so it doesn't exist" argument. Do you assume everyone else is just making it up when they say shit talk happens in sports? Yes you may not have experienced it but go look on youtube for any professional sport and you will find plenty.

im sorry what? since when did you have to be black or gay to be offended by someone yelling nigger or faggot at the top of their lungs? shittalking in a competitive environment is one thing, but acting as if everybody in the room should take it as lightly as you is just ignorant. Also, im pretty sure that if you played in real sports and yelled out nigger at the top of your lungs after a match there would be some pretty pissed people...

I wonder how many people are joining in this argument just to freely use the N-word without actually caring about anything else.
Adrenaline fueled shit talk in sports isn't a thing...oh wait

Why does it matter... its in the past. People have apologized.
If you would notice, Sherman at no point curses nor uses a racial slur. Instead he just yells. Also, he utilizes some of that communication degree and stares directly into the camera while speaking coherently. It just happens that he is yelling and describes Crabtree's skills as deficient. Looking at the habits of the 49ers receivers (looking at you Boldin) the trash talking probably went both ways throughout the game.
Back to the main point. At no point does he use a racial slur. Or Curse.

The fact that it exists in sports doesn't mean it isn't fucking caveman behaviour.
Do marm and I need to start shot taking again because u guys are killing this thread to death ATM
I received an official warning from the ISHAA for hitting a runner in the head because he tried to steal a base on me :/ Also ejected and suspended lol. Physical sports give you a different outlet but trash talk definitely happens. I've calmed down a lot since then :p Also I only had one batter for the rest of my career attempt to steal a base when I was pitching :/
HallowThe fact that it exists in sports doesn't mean it isn't fucking caveman behaviour.
What makes you the person that gets to determine that? You honestly sound like the most boring person on earth. Trash talk brings intensity to the game, if you want everyone to be friendly to each other maybe competition isn't for you.

Shit talk happens all the time in sports, and esports as well.
Example
I played hockey, soccer, lacrosse growing up and have experienced shit talking in all settings, whether it be at a high level or in a houseleague game. I've even experienced it in a pickup game at university. It's a tactic which may be frowned upon, but if you can get into your opponents head and mess their game up, why wouldn't you use it?
Yeah you're playing in front of potential sponsors and ESEA, however you can't seriously tell me that the CS:GO, LoL or any other competitive gamers never used slurs before.
