During the World Baseball Classic, when JP finally won from the US after a long time and it was hot, Sensei kind of opened a Twitter thread that he didn't understand baseball but for him WBC was interesting and started asking questions. In one part of it, when there is a dead ball incident in the game, he says "Means if you throw the ball at the head of the opponent's champion's batter, you can make the batter not come back to court, right?" << This tweet went viral, because someone actually died from being hit by a ball in the head. Sensei then said he didn't know baseball was that dangerous because he "didn't know baseball at all" (edited) This tweet went viral, because "there is no morality at all" because it can lead to death and not playing fair. As bad as it is for you to be a person, why don't you think about hurting someone like that (you can even die for real) just so they don't hit you anymore? << something like this. (edited)
Things that make Sensei's image not improve: a. Sensei once made a baseball joke on his stream before, so few would believe he "knows nothing about baseball"
b. On his "behind" account, sensei actually tweeted "I'm super genki really" even though Nijisanji was being battered by a large-scale news outlet, so it seems he has no regrets at all...
Sensei enters Japan's major news channels, both Sport and general news, the public is furious. Why the big deal? Because Nijisanji at that time had an affiliation with Japan's major professional baseball league, and was pioneering cooperation with other sports as well. Sensei's news tarnished Nijisanji's name in the baseball world, even though they were icons of baseball promotion at that time.
In addition, Sensei at that time was in collaboration with Mahjong Soul and pro mahjong player M-1. M-1 mahjong at that time there was also a tournament. Due to this incident, Mahjong Soul terminates the contract with Sensei. Stream official sensei in the afternoon, mahjong soul broke up the morning before the stream (only a few hours delay). the M-1 pro player who appeared at that time also apologized on sensei's behalf.
>> With the scale of the problem that big, many nijijp fans think sensei should be fired. But Sensei got suspension. Finally sensei graduated, and there was a graduation stream too. So not fired. Unfortunately, international fans who know bits and pieces are just the "joke at baseball" part, don't know what the problem is and also don't know the difference between graduation and being fired. They don't understand that this sensei is "graduate" which means good and can even stream graduation. Then EN fans got angry saying nijisanji mismanagement.
Well, this one. He didn't get fired dude. It can be difficult tbh for sensei to come back again, especially since those who are angry with him are not only haters now, but fans too, because Gundou has bothered one niji for them and has already made other livers splattered with a bad image :/ If that's the case, that's okay continuing further personally might be difficult... If the talent doesn't want to come back, that's fine.
Also, they don't know that before the baseball tweet, Gundou had a few moments where Nijisanji had defended Gundou, made a lawsuit to several haters and critics, until management was said to have "silenced criticism" because it cut down people who attacked Gundou both on Twitter and on 2ch . People who don't understand will think Niji has never protected Gundou, even though from JP's point of view it's quite the opposite. Niji has been protecting Gundou too much, so it's only natural that Niji now suspends Gundou... Er, Gundou graduated already:/ that's it. (edited)
