Canadian poker pro Daniel Negreanu has gotten his account banned from streaming on Twitch after he spurted out some profane expletives over the weekend.
The 6-time WSOP bracelet winner got his account suspended on Sunday (July 26), after an incident that happened on Friday - while streaming a WSOP event on WSOP.com, he fiercely responded via stream chat to someone who said a rude comment about hi[...] Read more » 2020 WSOP: Daniel Negreanu's Violent Meltdown gets him Banned from Twitch

Normally those who offend or swear should be removed from social media accounts. Others who have done nothing just need to be warned not to respond in an ugly way. It is not normal to receive punishment when someone else is guilty.

What do you mean now? from your point of view, is it good that Daniel Negreanu has to be trampled on, by a garbage man who insulted his wife? In this situation where they were in front of each other he also had to accept some fists or feet?

In situation where Daniel Negreanu would not have acted in any way, it would have meant that he would not respect his wife. When someone verbally attacks your life partner, you don't take any action? What are you doing? Do you apologize for aggressor phase, run or avoid? Hmmm...

He also has this sponsorship with GG poker , they want him to promote their site , get more new players on their poker room and win more money , not to throw money on him for the good of their mothers' souls or whatever . So they need the publicity , they need him to go to TV , or social platforms , embrace a larger audience , more spectators and potential new customers for GG poker .
By losing twitch channel people or youtube otr sth similar , you lose power , your status is less significant , your influence is less , Daniel should have thought it from the moment he started streaming on twitch , be ready for insults or awkward moments from trolls , from people with personal problems , from haters .., this is not a mature grown up , a logical man behavior .....

he will find another way to stream or to make videos,its not such a big problem for him!somebody will make another platform,he will stream,but for me its great that he is just normal person that react on this kind of things and he will stay no matter what money is in game!but for me,his reaction was something that normal person will do,maybe with not so many bad words,but ok!

It doesn't matter now where he does Stream, because he is only banned for a month. Owners of Twitch are not monsters to refuse him, after 30/31 days have passed. Anyway, Daniel Negreanu is a mature man who respected his wife.

I do not know if it's only for 30 days , I thought I also it read somewhere thatt this ban was permanent . I mean , these words and threats , this language , being said online .... They have banned temporary other streamers just because they used once a word that MIGHT hvae been used with a racial predisposition , or because a little more from their body was exposed to the viewerd , or for a littlle harrassment or sexual comment on another viewer or streamer . These words , about an*** f*** is much worse imo . they have banned permantly great names with millions of fans/followers , 20.000 or 30.000 or more subscribers , will they give a break to Daniel with his only 11k followers and how many , 100 or 200 subscribers ????? It will seem very strange to me .
It wasn't that another streamer during his stream said these things and everyone heard them or sb during an IRL offended him in front of his wife and everyone else , then an outburst might have been excusable and more understandable . Just answering to a idiot poster .... There are other ways , ban this viewer permantly , report him to twitch , sue him ....... ...

It's all the fault of GG PokerOK, who direct Daniel's actions, prescribing a strategy for him and demanding a show from him. Literally in early July, when he was not playing, Daniel pretended to beat his laptop. Joe Ingram generally suggested that in this way Negreanu was changing his image from the soul of the company to an evil monster, which is much more promising in terms of increasing the number of viewers.

So what you mean here is Daniel Negreanu does this thing for advertising? Everything is possible but you thought that he could choose another way and in the end he would be offended, not his wife? Does DNegs not respect its life partner?
Lol! I support Daniel..those trolls in Twitch are some of the worst on the internet. Twitch itself is lead by a bunch of idiots (my opinion) that, at the very least, are as hypocrite as it gets, and have double standards all over the place (many, many examples, but please don't ask me for sources, just do some research if you don't believe this) so i'm not one bit surprised. I hope we'll get a better alternative in the future, or that Youtube does it better.
Whatever the case, i probably would have reacted the same way. Since when is cussing back a crime? It's not cool, but it's just human nature...As long as people stick to cussing, and don't actually do as they say, it's pretty much all forgivable i.m.o.
But we are living in the age of snowflakes and SJW's so, im afraid it's going to get worse!

The previous years we had less poker played or streamed on the TV channels . Online platforms like twitch , youtube came on the foreground , became extremelly popular . Poker streams appeared on these platforms , many got known and famous on these platforms , or kept on winning money or win a lot more via twitch streams , with the donations and the deals with some sites to be advertised on their stream So you need these platforms . These corona virus days , with almost no live poker games , online streams , platforms , audience and spectators have become extremelly important . They are in need these times , Daniel should have though all these things , before saying what he said , for the sake of his masculinity .... Profits over losses , simple as that ... And when ti comes to an unknown idiot , who didnt do this in front of your wife , then you don't even have to thin k about it.... If the ban was remporary , he has time to think of the actionsa and the consequences . if it's permanent , a good lesson it will be for sure dor the future ...

Human stupidity is a place of honor on this planet and things continue to get worse. Many animals that move on two legs ... and i don't know how to behave civilized, when they have a discussion. I support Daniel Negreanu from beginning of this scandal.

One man disagrees with my comment and that means he likes people to be offended on American live video streaming service or socialization network like Twitch. What incoherent thinking. I wonder about who gave me a minus vote, if she was his wife...

This person who insulted him might have been an idiotic kid , who wanted to have fun , laugh by insulting someone's mother or wife , some idiot kids do such things . Online kids are allowed to watch far too many thigs , participate in these streams , their age identification is proven not enough many times . SO just imagine , if he talked like this to a kid , does it worth it ?? If it was a kid , ofcourse he wouldn't do to him the things he said that he would do . So , pointless , an outburst of no meaning , maybe he was on tilt , maybe angry of another reason , don't know , it doesn't make much sense

There must be some harsh laws in social networks for those who insult and swear. People who defend themselves should not be punished, but only warned. I don't like innocent people to pay and Daniel Negreanu is exactly that.

I have seen innumerble times , on every twitch stream , which has a moderator , some idiots saying something , sometimes offending for the streamer , then this message.post gets deleted instantly , and the streamer not even bothers himself to comment on this idiotic viewer . Ofcourse many curse the streamers , many times with sexual offensive words , especially towards women , almost never sb pays attention to them . Only a streamer who wants drama or fights with trolls for increased viewership . , also a mucho man swellhead streamer ...........

antonis but if didnt react on that words,this "person" would continue to do that and maybe some other would start to write something like that and they daniel would have even bigger problems!in this way he maybe did react roughly,but he show to other people that he dont allow something like this,especially when his family is in question!
