Blizzard reached out to San Francisco Shock to remove a tweet with Pepe reference

Blizzard reached out to San Francisco Shock in an attempt to get their player Sinatra to remove a tweet with a Pepe reference. The League which has been cracking down on potential racist emotes and memes has been taking steps in a very precautionary way. Sinatra turned 18 and is now eligible to play for the San Francisco Shock. 

From what I understand, Blizzard reached out to SF Shock management to ask that sinatra take down his birthday tweet because it had a pepe in it, which Blizzard is trying to crackdown on in regards to being potentially offensive. https://t.co/euVQW3sbHn
