"A coach for a Dallas-based esports team in Activision Blizzard's Overwatch League was reportedly ordered to delete a tweet that criticized Blizzard's punishment of a gamer supporting protesters in Hong Kong, the latest jolt to the league as it tries to navigate a contentious political issue."
Here is the deleted tweet.
I think this counters Bracks Blizzcon statement that they encourage the free speech of their employees. The entire angle of Blizzards defense in this matter has been that the HS player broke the rules of the esports event and that it had nothing to do with China but here we have a situation like in the NBA where there was a tweet and not a statement at an event but Blizzard still wanted it silenced. I am aware that this is a month old but it directly counters Brack's recent statements and frankly was kinda of lost weeds at the time it happened.
