PokerStars Official Statement

PokerStars releases an official statement regarding Daniel Negreanu's recent interview with PokerPlayer.co.uk

On August 19 PokerPlayer.co.uk published an article – The Evolution of Daniel Negreanu – that has created a lot of debate in the online poker community. In response, PokerStars contacted us this afternoon (August 25) with the following official statement...

“PokerStars does not support the use of derogatory or hurtful language directed at any other player. While this was a personal matter between two players, we wish that better judgment had been used in the choice of words.

“As to the PokerStars email posted in ‘open letter to PokerStars’ on Annie Duke’s site, our support handles over 10,000 emails per day, and this was a case where our staff member incorrectly speculated with personal opinion, and overstepped their boundary. However they did not ‘condone’ the use of Daniel’s language at any point as is implied. Rest assured, this email was not PokerStars’ official statement on this issue.”

I was very suprised how Daniel spoke about Annie Duke he was way out of order.
I have lost a lot of respect for Daniel.
How does Howard Lederer feel about this,and are we in for slanging matches
is this a good way to promote the game.
probaly a good way to cause major damage

It would only be opening old wounds - this thing between Negreanu and Duke has gone on for a decade...
