We cover a variety of NBA topics.' yeah I feel like his answer to me was patronizing....Imma write him another one. | ||

He has said a hundred times on his twitter that he wrote it not to be taken seriously but seeing as all of his pasts articles have been written with the intent on being taken seriously, did he just jump on this topic and say "oh this will be my tongue-in-cheek article that nobody will take seriously" because he thinks we're the type of "nerds" that would allow that to happen? No matter what the situation is he clearly went in with the intent on belittling a community of tens if not hundreds of thousands and is using the tongue in cheek moniker as a pretty bad cop-out. | ||

Suggest you do this guy a favor and tell him why he's wrong yourself. Perhaps he'll realize the Sc2 community is one you don't mess with User was warned for this post | ||

The twitter reply's are getting out point across, no need to take it to that level. | ||

<3 Gordon, keep doing what you enjoy in life. Edit: Because this has become so relevant to me lately and I hope GH can find some meaning in it as well. From Day[9]'s Daily #100 "There is nothing more cool than being proud of the things that you love." | ||

I enjoyed watching Hayward when he was at Butler it's awesome to see him repping SC2 now that he's a pro. | ||

Fact is: There is no1 in the world that would be like, 'Oh gawd this Gordon Hayward is playing? I better stop playing Starcraft now'. There will only be more people getting in to the game. That writer just sounds very angry there's other things to do then basketball. | ||

Find it amusing that the writer of the article that upset everyone is still responding via Twitter. Turning into a situation where this publicity will be best for him and not the game. | ||
