    Default Hogwild Poker Leagues not Minority Friendly

    While playing at Hog Wild Poker Leagues, for the better part of the last year I had suffer abusive racist names and comments from a certain group of players, Being called Nigger, and Black Trash was not uncommon. I tried to go through proper channels but it appears that the support manager screen name "Tillis" and the worst of the offenders are personal friends, and yesterday, after being called a Black Piece of Trash, I notified support. The racist name caller told Tillis to call her on the phone. Within minutes my chat was blocked, and within a couple hours access to my account was suspended. I just thought I'd let people of color know what kind of people you will be dealing with if you choose to play at Hogwild poker leagues. If you are against racism, please spread the word.

    I played there for the better part of a year, and much of the time I had my actual photo for my avatar.

    Thanks for the heads up man. I'll be honest, I'm lazy and I probably won't spread the word but I'd like you to know that I am officially boycotting hogwild poker league as a direct result of this message.

    (unofficially I'll continue to play there. But I'll do my darndest to cut back on the racism)
    Congratulations, you've won your dick's weight in sweets! Decode the message in the above post to find out how to claim your tic-tac

    Ginger is very close to an offensive word to describe lazy people.
