For years I have been reluctant to purchase an Xbox 360, but until about a month ago, had finally done so. When visiting a friend, I always had a blast playing Call of Duty (COD) online at his house. For all the hours of fun, my friend would repeatedly warn me of the vulgar and ugly racist comments that spewed from the mouths of "some" gamers. After about two weeks of playing COD online, I finally got a taste of the ignorance that my friend so emphatically described and said was all too common. Call me a traditionalist, but one of the reasons that I bought an Xbox was because the fact that Microsoft is an American company. As a fairly young man, that thing matters to me especially in this economic climate. After witnessing the racist comments today, I decided to file a complaint on the gamer. I can only hope that Microsoft will take this type of evil behavior seriously and not think about their wallets. Although I do not have children, if I did COD and maybe even Xbox live would be definitely out of the question. I hope something is done. And soon.
