An event billed as Switzerland's biggest esports competition has been cancelled after the host team's founder posted an anti-abortion comment on social media, triggering outrage that led three rival squads to pull out.
The “Take the Throne” event, involving a video game that features cars that score goals with a ball like in soccer, was to take place on 23 November at the Batiment des Forces Motrices venue in Geneva.
The uproar erupted after BDS team founder Patrice Bailo de Spoelberch - the initials of his surname form the name - posted the following on social media: “A woman who dares to use abortion should lose the right to ever have children.”
