In this scenario, a rule existed against this and he chose to do it.

The "rule" was

"Engaging in any act that, in Blizzards sole discretion, brings you into public disrepute, offends a portion or group of the public"

Ok, so they can terminate you and get rid of all your prize money if you "offend anyone". That's the rule that was broken here. This could apply to almost anything; wearing the wrong kind of clothing (there are definitely people who would be offended by a MAGA hat, for example).

And yet, somehow this is the first time they have ever enforced this rule, or at least enforced it so fast. Like...a few weeks ago, a player was caught playing their Hearthstone GrandMasters game and an AutoChess tournament at the same time, so distracted he literally forgot to keep his combo pieces in hand. They just warned him not to do it again. A few years ago, a player was caught straight up cheating, took them a year to even act, people would spam "Roger is a cheater" in chat every time he came on camera. The community was outraged. Nothing.

Also, why are the casters fired here?
