Most people are pathetic and there is no need to give examples, but almost in every day we hear or see on the internet or in real life about such a thing. Daniel Negreanu's wife did not need to be offended, but people have no respect. This thing it's a big shame.

He is a human being and can be acting wrong if you only could see his professional responsibilities, but if you are losing his tournament and a stupid person tell some bad thing about your wife, I think that you can be reacting seems like him. Is not good for him lost his concentration at that moment, but is easy to understand, I think

This is an unacceptable behavior and reaction by Negreanu . These things cannot be said on an online public platform , whrere kids or teens might be some of the viewers , especially on Twitch platform which so popular .mShame on him for these words . He should have been more carefull.

Daniel Negreanu proceeded pretty good because insensitive or frustrations people continue to offend more and if they are left alone that's not good. An insult must not be accepted. You have the right to an answer or defense,

I agree with you dule-vu. Daniel Negreanu is a human being and may react like any of us. Especially when you are frustrated by a downswing in the middle of a tournament. Is not his best way to react, and he recognizes it, but that´s is it. He doesn´t wrote some words or spells heavier than some popular sketches on the tv. Nothing to be horrified, and look for a glass of holy water to throw to the screen, don´t you think?

Guy of his renome just cant afford something like that by my opinion. He is like world ambasador of poker. First the stuff with pokerstars "more rake is better" now this. I think he will loose allot of fans.

He was provokated for sure , no doubt . This poster was an imposter , a disgusting idiot cursing sb's woman . He was a coward for sure . if sb did sth like this to a man , in a club or on the street or anywhere else , I think many would not behave in a civilised way , like calling the police , suing him . etc , maybe he would get his ass beaten . But this is online stream , idiot keyboard warriors with fake accounts are everywhere , waiting to trigger you for fun or to create problems to you . He might have been an enemy of his or a tottally unknown idiot . Children watch these streams , so no reason to behave like this . Also no one saw these comments i think , so as to feel embarassed .

Mankind must relearn to become human. Wildness is generated by the fact that many people have financial problems and you can't be frustrated with someone else who has money, then get angry and offend his wife. Daniel Negreanu he proceeded good.

rogerio what fans he will lose?he dont have 10 years old fans that can be offended by this move,so its at least 18 years old people,but most of them older and they will understand this move!so you cant tell me that somebody will stop to watch his streams just because he is human and he did protect his wife!

Yes, and I think that if the actual children read to him they loved! Is very hypocrite of my part ask to him (Negreanu) a kind of pure that al the media don´t have. Any time you start the tv in any channel and could see and hear the worst things than he writes. Anyway, who said what is the expectable conduct of an ambassador of poker? I say daily or weekly some of those words, and if I would be losing in a tournament and some idiot spells bad words of my daughter....come on!

I don't think that anyone actually saw these comments from this poster , so who knows 100% if it's absolutely true this story . So , if this poster actually said these things , he's a troll , idiot keyboard warrior for sure . But Daniel's reaction , is also idiotic . He's not a child to act like this , threatening an unknown during a stream that he will smash his teeth or break him anally , doesn't seem very mannish to me , even for the sake of his wife . Online extreme threats to an unknown , silly or childish courage ....

I feel annoyed by the hypocrisy of the people. All people say tremendous words, inclusive in the face of their children, anytime. You can stay in a car when some discussion starts between two or three car drivers, and you can see a blood matter. But when some notorious person does it...the hell is waiting for him! I think that, if we are worried about the bad words, the menace and the violence, we have to start to be careful with our attitudes, and then wait that the notorious live up to the society we build

Society does not build what it needs because politicians do not do their job. The law is no longer what it used to be and I would reinvent the death penalty, castration, etc ... for all people who commit crimes, rapes or are aggressive and hurt people. The penalties are too small and that's why a lot of crime happens.

You have to read son history CALICUL. The human being has taken all the horrifying kind of punishment to fight against the crime: to cut the heads, to amputate hands and noses, to impale, to skin alive, to burn them alive; and all the devil measures that the persons can think. Those were useful to show the power but not to solve the crime. Sometime a more just society should be proved to construct, with more food and less richness concentrated

I read about past punishments. Bad people have to pay through ugly methods for them. Today's law is far too lenient with criminals, rapists, etc ... and that's why criminality it is at alarming levels. Receiving 10 years in prison after killing a man is horrible because that man no longer lives and the culprit comes out after 5-6 years.

This poster , might actually have been an idiot underage person , a kid , so cursing like this , is too much and beyond limits or acceptable angry response . On the streets or your neighbourhood , in front of you and your wife , it's a whole different story ,
Twitch has millions of watchers , just imagine everyone of them start insulting or threatening one another , with or without provocation , doesn't matter , it would be a complete chaos , anarchy .. He has to be punished as an example to avoid , not do the same . It;s a social platform , you are given the opportunity to have all these spectators , this platform is not private , is not yours , people are not in the mood to hear your curses , your threats , you have to restrain yourself , even if you were provokated . Anyway , theese are also the rules of twitch , he borke them, now he is punished .
