>get rid of any "rules" they had that caused these punishments, and do not enforce this in the future.

Great, I cannot wait to see all the political speeches while trying to catch some esports or sports. If you're an (e-)athlete, what better time and place to let the world know about your feelings on MAGA, ICE camps other than broadcasts of your gameplay?

Go ahead! That is great that you agree on this!

Also, people are more than just their gameplay in a specific game. There are storylines, and personal developments, and lots and lots of things related to players that do not have anything to do with who won or lost in a game.

If someone has politics as a big part of their identity, I don't see why it would be wierd to talk about it. Just like any other big part of someone's identity that has nothing to do with the game.

I am eagerly awaiting participant advocacy for a free Ireland/Palestine/Kashmir/weev at the next annual StarCraft tournament.

Awesome! Me too.

I love knowing more specific details and storylines, related to an individual person.

This is true for real sports. People have lots of details about them that aren't directly related to the game.

And I am glad that you are also as excited as I am to see these personal storylines play out!
