I must have missed the part where all of society regards professional poker as a noble profession consisting entirely of well-adjusted people who conform to traditional norms and standards and are all Mother Teresas.
#1 tournament player in the world tweeting about how men need to grow up and eat more pussy would be just as cringe.
I basically agree with that (maybe your example would be less well-received on that specific platform), but what brand standards are there to be enforced for public communications? Does being the top tournament earner convey these responsibilities of ambassadorship for the game, and for people to perceive the game well, by way of some sort of contract?

Of course not. Furthermore, if it turns people off of poker who might otherwise be interested---GOOD!
