Flamengo counselor calls their League of Legends team \u201cautistic nerds\u201d \u2013 brTT and Rakin respond Riot GamesA counselor at Brazilian sports club CR Flamengo, has labelled the club\u2019s esports division, specifically their globally renowned League of Legends team, \u201cautistic nerds\u201d, apparently angered that they receive more promotion than the women\u2019s soccer team. Marion Kaplan, who works at CR Flamengo, one of Brazil\u2019s top sports clubs, responded to a promotional Tweet about the League of Legends team, considered one of the best teams in the world. In now deleted Tweets (translated from Portuguese), Kaplan wrote: \u201cWho would of thought, huh? Flamengo promoting a nerd from the worst kind, symbol of anti-sports, anti-physical activity, and NOTHING about women\u2019s soccer! Not even a line\u2026\u201d After being called a \u201cmoron\u201d for her first Tweet, Kaplan doubled down, stating: \u201cI will fix it: a nerd that spends hours in front of a screen, practicing something that isn\u2019t an physical activity nor cultural, that isn\u2019t outdoors, and doesn\u2019t worth nothing. In other words \u201cautistic nerd of the worst kind\u201d. Is that better?\u201d \u201cHi Marion All right? I have seen your remarks that I consider to be very aggressive and of closed mind, but instead of attacking you I would like to ask you to talk and open your mind a little to try to free yourself from this ignorance. I await your reply.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s too late. I\u2019ll do everything to end LoL. My first goal was to report the neglect of almost every sport on CRF (Flamengo), while LoL is promoted. But since the violent attacks and mass threats (nothing close to what I said) I see how badly LoL needs to be extirpated.\u201d After deleting her Twitter account, Kaplan later made another account, on which she apologized to autistic people and their parents, for her use of the disorder as an insult. \u201cI need to apologize to the autistic and autistic parents who were super kind and polite to me, contrary to the nerds they were violent and rude.\u201d Thanks to u\/gustavoviza for the translation. voc\u00ea tem que se tratar isso sim \u2014 Felipe Gon\u00e7alves (@brttOficial) February 25, 2019 CR Flamengo currently sit in first place in the top level of professional League of Legends in Brazil, CBLOL, with a 13-1 record.
