    This is why Trump will get four more years.

    Well, given all the info that has since come out, obviously this really happened, though the guy being a broken-English speaker does change it a bit.

    I really want to know if the two had history prior to this.

    Is it possible that he heard black guys saying stuff like "What's up nigga?" in rap videos, and didn't realize it was offensive for a white guy to say to a black guy at the table?

    If they had history arguing with one another, then I'd say it was more likely meant to offend.

    I don't really have a problem with disqualification for using racial slurs, but I hope it also extends to physical threats of violence (even with no race factor involved), which are actually worse.

    WSOP pretty much had to disqualify the guy for optics, especially after Maurice made it public.

    Nice that this happened yesterday, just in time for tonight's radio!

It's like calling your girlfriend a whore when you are fighting with her.

    people who take responsibility for their actions will say that makes him a racist and misogynist

    people who do not take responsibility for their actions say I was mad and provoked. It was somebody else fault.
    Disagree. Calling someone a n-word in a heated shouting match doesn't make you a racist. Hating black folks just for being black does.

    What do you mean?

    Do you doubt that such a thing could happen?

    Picture a foreign dude who barely speaks English who watches rap videos occasionally, and sees black guys saying "What's up nigga?" to each other in a friendly fashion.

    So Maurice wins a pot, and the Euro stupidly repeats what he heard on TV, thinking he was being funny or giving Maurice some form of congratulations.

    If an American said it, 100% he knew what he was doing. A broken-English-speaking Euro, who knows?

    On a side note, I received a "tip" that Maurice has been betting sports pretty heavily the past few months, and is doing quite well.

    Err no

    The guy literally called him a n-word (or was it dirty n-word?) and every Euro on the continent knows the difference between n-word and nigga.

    Laughable that you're trying to paint a scenario where it was just a language misunderstanding.

    Trying to make a defence where there just isn't one, is a bad look.

    It actually highlights the absolute absurdity of this cultural norm, because if he had been visiting from a country where people had slightly more melanin in his skin it would have been perfectly fine for him to say that, and asking foreigners to completely understand and navigate our complex Social Marxist rules of reverse discrimination and oppression pyramid is actually asking a lot.

    Read the thread again.

    It came out that he said, "What's up n-word?" after Maurice won a pot.

    You are a Brit, so of course you know that word is off limits, but what about someone from a country like Poland? Do all of the people in Poland know that word and its history?

    We have to know the context in which the word was said. If Maurice and the Euro had no history, and the guy just said it out of the blue when Maurice won the pot, it probably really was a misunderstanding or a failed attempt at humor.

    Admit I didn't read whole thread so didn't know he said "what's up n-word".

    But I'd be amazed is it wasn't meant as a slur considering that Euros know the difference between both meanings of the word/s.

    If he was Eastern Euro, like a Pole or something, then it would make it even more likely it was meant as a slur.

    For what it’s worth I’ve played with him a few times. For some reason he’s not a very well liked player but if you ask me he’s a decent dude and really great for the game. He’s one of the rare players who is “action” but also ends up with the chips most of the time. From what I’ve seen he’s a good player.

    I played with him briefly at a WSOP event 2 years ago.

    It was on Day 1. He was moved to our table, and wasn't doing very well. He survived with a short stack for awhile, then busted.

    He was talkative, but not obnoxious. Overall opinion of him was positive.

    Ladies and gentlemen, a PFA exclusive... the identity of the alleged racist:

    Adrian Lovin Sorin

    He's from Italy.

    I can't take credit for the research, though.

    Someone else PM'd it to me.

    seriously this had to be said.

    the whole point of voting for trump for probably a solid 20%+ of his base hinged on being able to call 'problematic' black people n-words in public.
    That might be the dumbest post in PFA history ... and that is saying quite a bit #libtards101

    Also bet the dude gets his 10k back ...

    interesting that anger allows freedom from ones action. Calling someone a racial slur has to come from an internal core belief. I guess if one suffers from a low IQ maybe a slur is their only viable option.
