Loved the article Rich, really appreciated the sourcing.

I'm shocked that Harris is such a dead duck that they're keeping Biden around and not letting the man get some rest.

The push for Biden is heinous, man is so out of it at this point it would be better to put plank from ed, edd and Eddy up there for election should have cut the losses way earlier if they wanted to win but doubt they can pull it in now or at least I hope cause I don't want 4 more years of any of this, don't want the media bullshit shoved in my face and down my throat 24/7. Thanks for always keeping it real Richard!

Biden is old, maybe too old but still the best candidate they have, the jokes kinda on you. You’re not American and still obsessed about him, why? And why is all twitter saying positive things about him and you’re just touting negative things about him, are you this ignorant? Rhetorical question. Fact is he’s a more succesful president than all of the priors who served in the last 25 years. Why not judge someone on his performance? No instead you’re obsessed with his alleged health being too bad, and focusing on the wrong things, attacking his weak points. Sorry man, this article is more than cringe, your esports articles are solid and keep me here but if this happens too many times I’m gone.

Nonetheless, it’s funny you cited a article for “groping Eva Longoria” that didn’t even agree with you, no, instead telling a story of “it was nothing and surely no groping” - this tells me that you simply hate the guy and you’re making up things as you go, for your own personal agenda. At least you’re not a trumpist, that would be the next lower level after this.

I don’t think you need to threaten to leave if rich doesn’t start writing what you want him to. In fact I’m quite certain he would encourage a muppet like you to fuck right off and go read something else if it bothers you this much.

The only “muppet” in here who can fuck off is yourself, twink. I never told him what to write, but it is in my right to criticize him for his opinion, get a life, fanboy.

Gotta love the homophobic slurs. Nothing says enlightenment as much as good old bigotry 👍🏾

I’m not aware that “twink” is a homophobic slur, as far as I know it just means you’re a small weak guy. And that’s quite befitting. Your behavior is that of some weak fanboy who can’t stand his idol being criticized . Too bad

Funny how I am the small boy even though you are the one who clearly doesn’t understand what the words you choose to use mean. A quick google search would prove me right but again, I’m the stupid little boy who doesn’t understand anything so what does it matter anyway. ;)

Quick question, did you read his substack profile tagline on what his content is about? It says this:

"Sports, Esports & Politics free from the tiresome spin and bullshit. "

Stop telling him what to put into his substack. This like you would walk into a stripclub and be offended that people were stripping but you just wanted to have a drink. You are that level of ignorant and dumb with this comment. Congratulations on being the first dribbler of the substack comments section.

Are you his lawyer? I will do whatever I want. Stop telling ME what to do, goodbye.

Pathetic. Maybe learn to address the argument instead of going into some childish defense mode.

So people can’t tell you what to do, but you can tell Rich what to do? How big of a fucking idiot do you have to be not to see the double standard.

Strange, where exactly did I tell him what to do, weirdo? Come get a life, stop stalking me and stop fanboying your idol, kid.

Right here you muppet: “your esports articles are solid and keep me here but if this happens too many times I’m gone.” - Threatening to leave seems like a pretty obvious way of telling someone what to do. But judging from you inability to google the meaning of a slur before using it, I’m not really surprised that you can’t remember what you wrote 3 comments back.

Nonsense, you can interpret whatever you want into anything, nowhere did I tell him what to do and I am free to leave if I don’t like his articles. You’re beyond idiotic, fangirl.

I don't need to address any of your arguments, you do not set the rules of the comment section. And in fact, you are the one engaging in "childish defense mode" when your asocial retardation was called out. I know a place in Kuopio where you can get some help with your issues.

So you are unable to argue, you’re just here to throw around insults, and you’re calling me “asocial retard” funny, that is classical projection. You’re basically projecting on me what you are yourself.

Come back when you reached the mental level I had over 25 years ago.

Aside, all my points stand, and low people like yourself who insult me for my opinion just proof and reinforce my opinion further. So thanks for that. If people can’t argue and just throw around insults, it just proves how good my points are. The easiest W.

Yup, nope, not what I signed up for. Made a mistake by signing up to support esports coverage, not political ramblings that are supported with dailymail and fox news...

Then you didn’t have a clue what you signed up for.

Right on the front page:

"Sports, Esports & Politics free from the tiresome spin and bullshit."

Can see how that one would pass you by.

There is no point to argue here, I respect you as a journalist, but I don’t care for your political opinion. I can do both.

Richard Lewis's avatar

But you quite literally signed up for:

"Sports, Esports & Politics free from the tiresome spin and bullshit."

I also strongly doubt you read the article given you're comparing it to right wing media and yet several paragraphs are critical of Trump as a candidate. Oh well, guess I'll have to cope without you. Seeya buddy.

I guess I joined during the drought of political writing and abundance of esports content. Maybe I just have selective attention and didn’t notice politics until I disagreed with your take.

Again, right on the front page:
