Applying for a job at NiP with the name Keepma Hans Toumasef and making sure to write that I respect women and have definitely 100% never done anything illegal towards a woman or involving a woman in any way whatsoever.
wow, just finished your GOP video and now I've got another hour of content. appreciated Richard, my mind is really unproductive today and I really like kicking back while listening to your content
My jaw dropped on the floor when you showed that article. You can't be serious. They actually hired Axel Smith to film women 😂😂😂 That can't be real. That sex scandal was actually huge news in Finland. Axel was very liked TV personality and host. His actions came as a shock to many. To my understanding he never was prisoned and just left Finland all together. Totally ruined his career that would have more than likely just gone even higher from where he was back then. And that scandal definitely was also in Swedish papers back then. They can't just say they didn't know 😅
@@DaTwinxGaming Key point being you are from Denmark. Of course you don't know him. Swedish news are pretty well covered in Finland and vice versa. I don't personally follow any Swedish news media but I would bet a lot of money this was covered by some of them.
Is there anything more therapeutic than seeing greedy fucking hypocrites exposed for who they are? Probably, but we re all messed up here Much love, Ricardo
I know this is an old video. Nowadays I'm pretty seriously busy, but you're my favorite content creator to watch and journalist to read. So I always catch up even if I'm initially late to your stuff. But Jesus rich, in your shoes , this one would've drove me fucking crazy, idk how you stay so... idk how you don't go fucking bananas man, I'm going insane and getting upset just hearing you read these dumbass comments. Glad to see that just like always you can laugh at them. Me personally, this is one of the rare times I wasn't laughing. It's pretty despicable how some of those comments were attempting to paint you and more importantly in this specific case, your article.
Another great video. I've always appreciated the way Richard makes these videos. You can listen to it like a podcast, and only rarely need to look at something visual. The delusion of the subreddit is crazy, unsubbing was a good call. Cheers Richard
Holy hell this is crazy, this is some EG level type of shit lmao. Massive oversights on this hiring, and the slack leaks are just somehow not surprising from an org like this
Lmao no no not Uruk-hai, Finnish is some sort of Elvish language ('cause you know, Tolkien got inspiration from Finnish and other languages for some of his Elvish languages!). So Finns are elfs, Russians are Orcs (obviously) and Swedes are... I guess Swedes are hobbits althoug they're not short. But otherwise that fits perfectly.
I work for the UAW. I work with more chomos than you can even imagine. At some point you have to accept that they served their time and have to live a life. That don’t mean I can’t call em a chomo when they walk by.
That whole background check thing, is so that employers can't discriminate against staff / not hire someone based on things like sexuality, political beliefs etc. Which is good in spirit and I of course agree, but how enforcible is it really? Every job I've ever had they've done a police check on me, I have no issue with that. It's about the safety of the staff and the company not exposing themselves.
"its illegal to google..." that is literally a thing, when you post garbage that is controversial on your social, you will be held responsible. its good people lose their jobs, cause shit comes out. those kids in the comments talk like, IF ANYBODY FROM NIP KNEW THEY WOULD COME FORWARD HAPPILY, and admit to risk their jobs and livelihood... makes no sense. ofc "they didnt know".
Gotta love the fact those idiots weren't even addressing the real issue, which would be considered a scandal in any other area outside Esports. They were just talking about the title being click-bait, when in reality it wasn't and they'd know that if they had read the full article. What is wrong with that website?
It's shameful, as a NIP fan and Swede, to see these pathetic losers act like this. I feel sorry for Danyyl and all the guys on the CS roster who have to rep them.
This entire esports thing really should just die or relegate back to local LAN tournaments with a mcdonald's voucher as the grand prize. Much better times.
Actually wondering if opportunistic psychos see NIP as free real estate at this point. Also feel for the players, having to represent an org that has this many repeated, cartoonishly incompetent fumbles 🤣
They can filter any mention of Richard Lewis in general and ban articles he writes (the LOL Subreddit in that case), but when it comes to Substack in particular that somehow makes it more difficult?
I dont understand why Jonas and co joke about China so casually in a groupchat, someone will always have access to messages so maybe be more cautious, or maybe not since there will be no backlash like always..
Does nobody understand that if you give someone who films people illegally A CAMERA it could cause a spark in their brain to... idk... FILM PEOPLE ILLEGALLY AGAIN? If someone was given heroin after being out of rehab for a week, they would take the heroin.
Esports proving once again that capitalism will always result in abuses, cozying up to evil, and every other disgusting practice that results in more profit
Richard don't want to give a sex offender camera to film woman, but he just don't know the market reality. Nowdays you need at least 10 years in the field, so guy was doing what he trained for. Good HR management again picked to be shitted on by RL.
The market reality being there is no non sex offenders to film the women? Is that really what your trying to imply? Also 10 years of experience needed to film people? Are you nuts? This is an esports organization not a Hollywood movie set. NIP fired him when they found out so they obviously don't agree with you.
Richard lewis Sorry for getting to this video late. Now that you talk about Ukraine and Russia ongoing war. To be honest, I have always criticized how people introduce that matter to the game. Like in the end of the day we must bear that s1mple and other orgs go out with their flag while trash talking to other orgs and they can't defend themselves and have to take blows after blows just for being born in a country that started a war, When have we condemned other countries like USA invading almost 65% of the countries of the world. No one talks about it. Please do not bring War talks to my beloved E-Sport. S1mple i hope you see this or anyone from Ukraine i hope your family is doing ok in this hard times. But do not mix E-Sport and a WAR.
I don't support hiring discrimimation against convicted criminals, and yes that includes the most disgusting things you can think of. I understand the optics gotcha of it, the hypocrisy of NIP, but personally I don't have a problem with hiring the guy. Them firing him for that is the despicable act here IMO. He still has 50k to pay the victims, he should be allowed to earn it.
This comment can't be serious. You want to put a convicted sex offender within reach of those he just exploited? Do you not see how that would be an issue?
@@owenmcadams8546 "Just", he was convicted in 2017. Regardless, yes. If the justice system saw him fit to return to society, he should have that right. To be clear I don't think companies should be forced to hire convicted criminals by law. I just don't morally agree with not hiring them.
@@MikeSturgeon22 As far as I'm concerned, it just happened. It wasn't 2007, it was 6 years ago. Even if it was in 2007, he shouldn't be in a position where he's recording women. That's absurd.
Generally I also am against hiring discrimination against convicted criminals. However common sense goes a long way to knowing where to draw the line. Putting them back into a position to repeat what they were convicted for is absurd. You don't let a child molester work with children. You don't let a fraudster become an investor/money manager after they committed financial crimes. He can get any job that doesn't involve filming women.

Can't wait to see you as their new PR person
Richard has been on an absolute tear this week. Thank you for all you do.
wow, just finished your GOP video and now I've got another hour of content. appreciated Richard, my mind is really unproductive today and I really like kicking back while listening to your content
Richard is steeping to new lows made me die of laughter. These people are so delusional lol. Thanks for the video as always rich and editing team
"This is the best they have. This guy can type sentences. This is their best that they have in esports." Is one of the all-time greatest Rich quotes
Richard going on rants is better comedy then comedy itself

Never heard of him, from denmark, so im not sure it was really well known in Sweden. However, they should definitely know before hiring him.
@@DaTwinxGaming Key point being you are from Denmark. Of course you don't know him. Swedish news are pretty well covered in Finland and vice versa. I don't personally follow any Swedish news media but I would bet a lot of money this was covered by some of them.
Dude... I have no idea who this is and I'm not sure why you're assuming that this is a well known thing. Who the fuck cares about finland?
From Sweden and I've never heard of him, the only celebrities we really hear about are your megastars, and he isn't one@@KingOfBlades27
Richard, you have opened my eyes to issues in esports that I probably wouldn't have learned about somewhere else. Thank you for what you do.
Is there anything more therapeutic than seeing greedy fucking hypocrites exposed for who they are? Probably, but we re all messed up here
Much love, Ricardo
Can’t wait for them to hire Dr. Huxtable to help get their players on a regular sleep schedule.
"I don't live in the NiP executives' mind"
Pretty sure you do... and rent free too!
The only honest journalist in eSports.
Fucking dying at the CV part, Reddit is on another level
Honestly we should just stop calling it Xinjiang. We should just call it what the Uyghurs call it: East Turkestan.
"Nip have been having a normal one" yyup... here we go!
Honestly you couldn't make this stuff up its mental.
This video is Richard at his best. The only thing missing was RedEye impersonation
Nothing in Principles
Actually hospital example happened in Stockholm hospital and exactly how you describe it happened. It almost scary how you are always right.
I know this is an old video. Nowadays I'm pretty seriously busy, but you're my favorite content creator to watch and journalist to read. So I always catch up even if I'm initially late to your stuff.

Dr.Lewis sounds like a fun wacky guy
Nonces in Pyjamas. Great work as always Rich, Keep it up!
Richard Lewis the GOAT
Richard "daily content" Lewis making my last two days of work bearable.
jesus christ, doctor lewis and pipe smoking esports orgs had me in bits
i dont really follow the scene anymore but i cant skip this.

You're a legend Richie Lew thank you for another amazing video
Rich going hard with the videos. My favourite thing to listen to 🎉
I have so much respect for this man. Be my dad, please
Good banter/jokes on Finland 😂
Omg I'm trying to cook but I'm actually losing it at Finland being Isengard, too much!!! Thanks so much rich, solid gold as always ⭐⭐⭐🏅🏅🏅
I love seeing Richard at time lose his shit analyzing Reddit comments 😂
Headmeltosis best casting archon \m/
Havent watched the video yet but I pray Richard drops;
Nonces in Pyjamas
I don't even have words for this one.
The idiocy hurts my brain.

oh wow, i am so surprised and outraged at the conduct of an executive from professional video game player company
Thank you Richard for opening my naive csgo kid eyes ❤
Appreciate the content Richard.
Ricardo "CLICKBAIT" Louis strikes again ❤
A video calling out NIP, I'm going to enjoy this 😁.
I work for the UAW. I work with more chomos than you can even imagine. At some point you have to accept that they served their time and have to live a life.
That don’t mean I can’t call em a chomo when they walk by.
Have to live a life? Sure. Have to work a job involving children? No.

Great work! Greetings from Isengard🇫🇮
TY for vids these are amazing
tbh i dont find the problem with joking with morbid shit
"its illegal to google..." that is literally a thing,
when you post garbage that is controversial
on your social, you will be held responsible.
its good people lose their jobs, cause shit
comes out.
those kids in the comments talk like, IF ANYBODY FROM
NIP KNEW THEY WOULD COME FORWARD HAPPILY, and
admit to risk their jobs and livelihood... makes no sense.
ofc "they didnt know".
Gotta love the fact those idiots weren't even addressing the real issue, which would be considered a scandal in any other area outside Esports.

AXL SMITH EI VITTU
I don't know who's worse, the people too inept to do due dillagance or the fans that don't see a problem with this.
Thanks for the great content
At around 42:00 when Richard explains why they are here is so fucking spot on. It’s all just recreational dopamine addicts.
haha the zombie metaphor though so true
This entire esports thing really should just die or relegate back to local LAN tournaments with a mcdonald's voucher as the grand prize. Much better times.
So glad i quit working in esports years ago.
@36:22 this could be a hectic south park skit
Actually wondering if opportunistic psychos see NIP as free real estate at this point. Also feel for the players, having to represent an org that has this many repeated, cartoonishly incompetent fumbles 🤣
32:10 cracked me up
It would be difficult to filter a specific substack users content and substack is filtered by default for most auto-mod bots.
They can filter any mention of Richard Lewis in general and ban articles he writes (the LOL Subreddit in that case), but when it comes to Substack in particular that somehow makes it more difficult?
It's the Swedish way!
Every time you make one of these videos and show these fan responses... it blows my mind. I don't understand it.
I dont understand why Jonas and co joke about China so casually in a groupchat, someone will always have access to messages so maybe be more cautious, or maybe not since there will be no backlash like always..
im from finland and had no idea the dude was a sex offender
Does nobody understand that if you give someone who films people illegally A CAMERA it could cause a spark in their brain to... idk... FILM PEOPLE ILLEGALLY AGAIN? If someone was given heroin after being out of rehab for a week, they would take the heroin.
this is unreal.
how can anyone forget nothing in payapl LMAO
36:20 Absolute gold. lmao
Love the deftones shirt bro 8)
great job
These vids are so good. The editing is great 👍
idk thinking that if u would not report on it we would not know about stuff like this makes me sick
I mean he has a lot of experience filming women
Esports proving once again that capitalism will always result in abuses, cozying up to evil, and every other disgusting practice that results in more profit
This org just goes more and more to shit.. Hopefully Rez, Hampus and Brollan leaves and gets to join two other swedes and start a team or something.
nip should never have hired people with non-swedish names. im ashamed to ever have supported this team

Nothing In Paypal getting wrecked?
holy based
Yessss make weebo rn I would be there to support Richard and definitely not for other reasons....
This is just sad
They did what?
Well done Richard, but for your mental health, stop reading the Reddit/TH-cam comments..
More sports washing by a certain group. There throwing money into every sport trying to wash there image using sports. Quite opaque if you ask me.
What the fuck..?

somehow the meaning of clickbait has been lost/misconstrued/butchered throughout the years?
