Says who you? Just because YOU aren't capable of seeing multiple angles and narratives, doesn't mean everyone is. Speak for yourself.

It doesn't matter if society says Kermit the Frog is "safe" to post about, my company said don't do it. If I like to post things about Kermit the Frog, then I need to go to a different company that allows it. It's that d*mn simple.

What you don't grasp is that a Code of Conduct itself when it comes to what is deemed 'offensive', is many times subjective, ambiguous, open to flexible interpretations, trendy, and culturally different. There is a bigger narrative here. Freedom of speech in the work place. When too many jobs, NBA 2K League or otherwise, demand a code of conduct that is reflective of a censorship praising society -- it becomes ubiquitous. So it'd be nice to get some transparency from a league who already has had a problem with it (season 1). You can keep repeating the same stuff over and over and not grasp the different angles to this.

Well, BE CONSISTENT.

Sigh...you agree to and sign a Code of Conduct on the first day of work during the onboarding process. The paperwork/handbook/course is pretty black and white about what's acceptable and unacceptable behavior while you're employed. The employer would be right, because you agreed to the Code of Conduct as a condition to have employment with the company.

Since the team acted so swiftly in their actions (before the picture even went viral or known about by the general public), it's pretty clear that their Code of Conduct covers use of social media.

Here are some Code of Conduct for some esports leagues....make note that some don't even allow swearing.

Now, let this sink in after I mention it...the 2K League is sponsored by the freaking NBA. The same NBA that tries to maintain a "squeaky clean" image and have CORPORATE lawyers on their payroll. How thick you think their Player Code of Conduct is?

In before he ignores the last part and spouts off about you not having the 2KL code of conduct in there.

I dunno, but sounds like alot of dudes around here think that it's okay to agree to terms and then simply 'meh' them under the guise of 'free speech'. While I support free speech, at work, it's a different deal.

I work a job where I often run into topics, with clients, that I know can lead to 'questionable conversations'. I either proceed with caution (keep my position vanilla), or I refrain altogether.
