Victory Poker pro in hot water over Tweet

[The Buzz]

Victory Poker pro Dan Bilzerian is in a lot of hot water over a movie quote he posted on his Twitter account. The quote is from the Clint Eastwood movie "Gran Torino," and if you're familiar with the film, you know Eastwood's character is known to use some colorful language when describing other ethnicities.

Victory Poker itself might feel the repercussions of Bilzerian's Tweet, as ESPN producer Joy Miller said no Victory Poker would get any ESPN WSOP coverage before unless Bilzerian apologized. She also left a profane voicemail on Bilzerian's phone.

The incident has prompted a thread on 2+2 to reach nearly 50 pages. A recap can be found here:

What's that saying? Any publicity is good publicity.
Maybe not - at least in this case.

It is not funny to say that in fact it is idiotic and nazi-facist talk and he should be banned

Think twice...tweet once. (Comes from the old carpenter saying, "measure twice, cut once".)

True. His explanation was it is a movie quote, yea right still stupid

He probably had no bad intention, but intention and tone can't be properly relayed in a tweet. No doubt, you have to think before you tweet.

I believe that most times things are drawn out of proportion. I think it is a catch22 situation.

[webmacho]

I think is not.
If I start to quote movies here I know for shure this forum will soon be a history for me
