PS: I'm anti fascist. That kind of anti-fascism that still remember regimes first move is always to ban FREE speech.

Sounds more like you're a free speech absolutist. Anti-fascists tend to know that in a tolerant society, you must be intolerant to intolerance. We can't just be out there normalizing Nazism.

The fact of just changing the language thinking that we are stupid or something it’s mad. He doesn’t care a bit about the community thinks, for me he should not be involved in anything relative to manage in BB for a second longer. After everything that he has donde in the past, now doing such a disgusting thing and not regretting about it but laught at our faces it’s wild.

For me it’s clear #AlonsoOut

If Alonso were not part of the game staff, his 'joke' would bother me, but it would be up to the GMs to decide whether it is sanctionable or not. The problem arises if he is (supposedly) part of the game staff, which would mean that his words represent those of the current owners of BB.

Therefore, if Alonso makes an apology for Nazism, jokingly or not, until there is a clarification from the new staff, I will assume that they do not see anything wrong with this situation and that they are not opposed to the apology for Nazism.

What really bothers me is the awkward silence from someone on the BB staff.
No GM has even dared to write anything, but let's not lie... If we were talking about some other manager, this thread would already be closed and everything solved.

I was reading the Discord tonight and there was also an accusation towards Alonso, referring to him advising other managers to buy 34-year-old players at the end of last season, before the implementation of the new age-limit of dropping skills.
No evidence, but also no denial... I'm sure someone in his position wouldn't dare to do this, but it's funny that his name always comes up in every case that doesn't bring anything good to the game; we all here have seen some of his posts in Forums of other countries after playing against Israel.

In the end, it's one action after another, which shouldn't matter, but coming from who it's coming from, it's something that shouldn't happen anymore.

A GM without title in the nickname. The special one.

Free speech ≠ speech without consequences

There's a difference between consequences from the government and consequences from the court of public opinion. Freedom of speech protects from government consequences, not public opinion consequences.

If I harass someone and follow them down the street and they record me and I lose my job, that's a consequence. If I make Hitler jokes on the website of the company I work for I'll probably lose my job as well. If I say Alonso is a potato and he should be planted in a field, BB can't put me in jail as a consequence, they can however choose to give me a warning, fine me, or ban me if they feel it is appropriate.



I think this is going to become a political debate, and this is not the right place to have it.

The point about Alonso is this: there are no motivation for sanction, there is no damage done, there is no offense made, there is NOTHING.

this is plain stupid (I know internet is full of wrong Popper citation, but nobody read the original)

Anyway. This is not the place for a political debate.

That is fine and dandy but this is the same guy who banned someone for giving a player a sexual nickname.
I think it was Dan "long dong" Silver. In my opinion, if you can't follow the rules, don't try and enforce them on others.

I'm sorry I don't consider that someone can make jokes about Nazism, Nazism has no place in bad taste jokes.
The apology for Nazism should be condemned anywhere who may consider it to be a joke in bad taste, so they have the same problem as someone who defends a genocidal movement.
That said, Alonso should be out of this game immediately, he, his team and everything that has to do with him.

If a normal user says five insults on the forums in fifteen years, he is banned from the game forever.

BB-Alonso sends DMs to the Polish coach laughing what happened in the past, calls his players offensive names (that is not a simple joke) and go around the forums laughing at everyone, going unpunished for any crime. .

Where is the line between "inappropriates" attitudes or not?

I'm sure most of the BB staff laugh at all BB-Alonso's jokes, otherwise someone would have written something here or made a decision about it.

I don't know if this is true, but I agree with the principle.

What I disagree are the requests for ban..
Imho people that can't stand a joke on hitler or distinguish a bad joke from a crime, well they should be considered a danger to the community.
