Texas Battlefield 3 launch LAN bans women from attending

Let's also ban anyone with darker skin from attending because we know that the typical gamer can't help but use the "N" word too. Brilliant reasoning.

Edit: Did anyone downvoting me bother to read the article? This is exactly the reasoning they are using to ban women from this event.

You probably got downvoted because you repeated the article and didn't add anything. I come to comment threads for original discussion.

I added an illustrative analogy that wasn't in the original article. Maybe it was too obvious? Thanks for the feedback.

Edit: Since we're getting pretty deep in the comments here and the timer is in effect... To joshuacc: I did miss that line. Looks like the parent here is right I didn't add anything to the discussion. Thanks!

Perhaps you missed this in the original article:

I wonder if this party would so outwardly ban any black gamers from registering. Because it would be so, you know, uncomfortable to hear them being insulted.

You're absolutely right, I did miss that line when I read the original article.

Countered - I was thinking sarcasm along these lines too.
