I just finished watching game 1 of NIP vs G2 and was blown away when I heard the commentator's mocking the US's president. I hadn't realized that Riot had taken a stance on US politics. I didn't realize that by watching an esports game I would be forced to listen to political jokes. Are Trump supporters not welcomed by Riot?
BigBellBrute3 votesLMAO well when your president is the lowest of the low hanging fruit for comedy, he's going to be the butt of quite a bit of it.
Rewt2 votesEULCS takes place in Germany. Germany really hates Trump. While I believe mocking Trump is wrong and unprofessional in a Esports environment, I think i know where it came from.
(Also it would have been fairly well received with a German audience, you piss off a lot of people that are watching the stream.)
EDIT: aparently from reading comments after refreshing I see that you probably misunderstood what they said, but if they were to make a mockery of Trump My prior statement would still stand

It's the Ninjas in PJ's vs G2 series. The vod isn't even up yet. I think it was Game 1. But don't hold me to that. They did indeed take a swipe at Trump. But it was a very mild one. Maybe we'll get an idiotic tweet from the President about how Esports players are just a bunch of losers in response.
Nørse1 votesHonestly, I was expecting a lot more Trump jokes in regards to Taliyah's ult. Seems like a missed opportunity really.
