Man this is pathetic. You guys are gonna hold Rick fox in Twitter buzzword jail for someone elses actions? "Omg someone's being tooooxxiiicccc! Let's condemn his entire career and everything hes done for esports cause some guy in his company said things that hurt our little feewings" these game companies and this buzzfeed of esports channel need to grow up and hold the right people accountable… not threaten the one guy who's helped launch esports miles ahead from where it was.

Sounds pretty "toxic" to me! We dont have any place in esports for fun or hurt feelings!

Idk why but even though this case is a given, thescore esports made the video sound so whiny. I don't really like these videos from them, the OW ok hand sign ban video was the 1st of it's ilk and they really don't go along with controversial topics.

People have to get that Rick Fox was one of the first "main stream" people to invest and be public in Esports. He's done alot for Esports. I dont play nor watch LoL but you gotta give the man credit. I hope he stays around.

i wish the score esport had done a more complete coverage of this by trying to give what this supposedly racist has to say for his defense (or his attorneys). if they released any statement. might be BS, but still, covering both sides !!! i'd rather has the score esport say "they are yet to react" or they released that statement but my position is to not believe it because".

I love toxicity I believe it is what makes sports grow and establishes them forever with the more passionate crowd. That said, racism, sexism threats or wishing death etc. is not fcking cool. Call someone a btch and move on.

I play nothing but CS:GO and even I can't deny the extent to which Rick Fox has defended eSports being considered as a 'sport' against mainstream media.

Having had parents that despise everything about games/esports I have an astounding amount of respect for Rick Fox. He's such a nice guy. I really hope they get this issue resolved and Echo Fox stays in the league.

I have to admit that although I'm full with the Dota 2 family and don't like league, racist shit doesn't belong to esports and that was a really nice move by Riot to force echo fox's racist member to get out of this thing.

Senario 2 Sounds Good to me. I do got to say. I really do support Rick in the situation.

Wait, wasn't Echo Fox actually founded by Rick Fox (and hence, is named after him in a cool way as well)? It's also good to see Riot actually stand up for the people who actually tried hard to make esports mainstream.

If the Clippers can change owners because of a similar incident then so should Echo Fox! Rick has done so much for the community and esports in general. The very least they can do is support him.
