In honor of the forum....

McDonald’s dumping Larson is the pot calling the kettle black...

I heard Chic Fil A and Hobby Lobby are now sponsoring him and he was invited to the White House.

Well you know KFC isn’t going to step up...

A dumb 12 year old that screams whatever he wants on a game chat is not the same thing as a grown ass man who’s supposed to be a professional.

True but they could just sack the fuck up and say something like "While we don't endorse that and we told him not to do that again or else, it's just a fucking word, get over it you pussies".

There used to be a time when most of these companies either wouldn't respond, or would give a response that resembled "get bent" when confronted with the soccer mom losers. Mcdonalds isn't going anywhere. Chick Filet isn't going anywhere. These companies don't have to just bend over and take it from the retards that make up these outrage mobs.

Granted this is all only if they like that sponsorship a lot. If not then eh, fuck 'em.

bro. i will be dumb as i want to be. do not tell me how to live my life.

i was not comparing this guy’s situation and kids online. more so just stating the shit kids say online gaming is beyond crazy, racist and crude. and that is all i really had to add in this thread.

i did not see the video, but you can tell when someone has hate in his or her heart.

If I had sponsors I'd be screwed; nigger is one of my favorite words.

Kind of overkill IMO, but like I said above. A poor decision on his part. Have no idea why he wouldn't think there wouldn't be any ramifications. Maybe he was just making a joke. However, like Jerry Seinfeld said you can't really make jokes anymore.

So I guess you don’t clean many pools for black homeowners? Or at least not after you drop an “N” bomb around said homeowner....

Don’t be dumb, guys. This driver exists because of sponsors. How much of Mickey D’s bottom line is is influenced by ‘the Community”. They have to ditch him to save face in front of their target audience. A dumb 12 year old that screams whatever he wants on a game chat is not the same thing as a grown ass man who’s supposed to be a professional. You can guarantee he already had contracts in place that deal with this sort of thing directly. He’s just an idiot.

Exactly, he's an adult and his sponsors can expect him to act like one.

Or you could choose not to believe a word or two that this guy ever says. His routine and stories are almost robotic.

I have black clients I have know for 20 years and I am not afraid of saying nigger around them. They know me well and are not offended. It is all about context and being being forthright with them. Do you seriously believe any of them would think that I don't say nigger?

Black people have pools?
