As if calling Annie Duke a “f***ing c***” during a recent interview weren’t enough, other poker players are starting to notice Daniel Negreanu becoming more “verbally abusive”, as they put it. Negreanu was even observed calling his “friend” Phil Hellmuth an “idiot” while the cameras were rolling. With friends like Daniel, who needs any enemies.
First off, I am glad to be back after a one week hiatus. I am also thrilled to announce that my lovely wife Sadhvi has blessed us with a beautiful healthy 7 lb 8 ounce baby boy, Jagajeet 2. Thank God for a boy and what a gift to be born the week of Gambling911.com’s 10 year anniversary. Sadhvi will remain home and take care of him through his schooling. Our goal is to have 7 more. I intend to have Sadhvi conceive for me every 2 years.
While away I was shocked to find that Negreanu had yet to apologize to Annie Duke, and even more flabbergasted to learn that the poker community appeared to condone his behavior.
Negreanu not only disrespected Annie, he disrespected the entire female race with his “f***ing c***” remark. Annie’ brother, Howard Lederer, came to her defense. I would love to know Daniel’s reaction if someone called a female family member of his a “f***ing c***” how he would feel.
Some poker players have defended Daniel as “speaking his mind”.
When Dr. Laura “spoke her mind” a few weeks back and used the “N” word about two dozen times, most Americans (at least those on the left) were outraged.
Like Dr. Laura, maybe Negreanu thinks it is his Constitutional right to utter such foul verbage.
What a travesty!
