I do not want to live in a society that rewards rapists with NHL contracts. Acquitted does not mean innocent. The assault that took place that night will haunt EM for the rest of her life, it should follow Dube for the rest of his.
Maddie supported: Urge the St. Louis Blues To Release Dillon DubéDanya was very important for any chess player wanting to improve. I first came across his streams when he was playing blitz, where his impressive creativity and speed skills put him among the best blitzers in the world. I then saw his speedruns as SenseiDanya, the most educational and extensive chess content the world will have ever seen. Once he reached my rating, I made sure to wait hoping to face him. I was so excited to have a chance to play him and even had a completely winning position. Despite many people in the chat accusing me of cheating, Danya defended me and never once hinted at the possibility. A few years later and I am an NM, forever grateful to what his content has done to my chess and the chess of countless other improvers. I even got to play him many more times in speed events, where this time he mainly won easily, as those were much more serious games for him than a speedrun game.
What I wanted to say is that if he had accused me just because of my play, I may never have continued to play as much or watch him, as he was someone I really looked up to. Well, Kramnik was one of the players Danya looked up to and admired deeply. He knew the power his words could have on the kind Danya we all loved. Not once did he think to stop his relentless attacks, even when Danya voiced how much it was affected him. If Danya defended himself, Kramnik would find new and new ridiculous arguments. A year ago, I signed the petition along with many other players to stop these relentless attacks on Danya. What has been done since by FIDE? Absolutely nothing. This is absolutely shameful and FIDE has blood on its hands. If even 6 months ago this had stopped, let alone 1 year ago, I am sure things wouldn't have been the same. But Kramnik showed no concern for human life, and neither did Dvorkovitch. I hope he will think seriously about banning Kramnik and erasing his title which he is using for all the wrong reasons. I see this as a last chance for FIDE to show any backbone.
Seb supported: Request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards.Danya was a very kind soul. The illogical accusations took its toll on his mental health. Kramnik should be tried on the court of law. This is a serious issue. We, as a community, must make sure that this must not repeat. A precious life has been lost. It’s difficult to find solace after seeing this injustice that was metted out to Danya. Time to fight back against unwarranted insinuations and cyber bullying.
Vishy supported: Request FIDE ban Vladimir Kramnik, and revoke his titles/norms, per ethics standards.As someone who is world class at clock, I am directly affected by this decision. It is devastating to see my main event go, and I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way. I don't think that it makes sense to remove clock just because it is not a "spectator-friendly" event, or that it would go against the WCA's strategic plan. The vast majority of competitions are small local competitions with few spectators. Clock is the most beginner-friendly event in the WCA, so wouldn't removing it make the WCA less accessible? I appreciate the WCA for being open to add new events, but not at the cost of removing others. I think that this is a big mistake by the WCA, and I hope that this gets reverted soon.
Zachary supported: Reinstate Clock as an official WCA event.As a former collegiate equestrian student-athlete turned college recruiting consultant, I’ve seen firsthand how impactful these programs are—both during college and long after graduation. Over the past few years, interest in collegiate equestrian has exploded, with families now reaching out as early as middle school to understand pathways to ride at the next level.
Equestrian programs consistently produce student-athletes with some of the highest team GPAs on campus and foster discipline, leadership, time management, and academic excellence. Reinstating the UC Davis equestrian team matters not only to UC Davis, but to the sport of equestrian as a whole and to the countless young women who look to programs like this as a pathway to opportunity, growth, and leadership.
Raegan supported: Reinstate the UC Davis D1 NCEA equestrian teamBrutal seeing people still hating on these guys. Anyone paying attention could see this was a farce from the start.
Noah supported: Five Innocent Men. Five Stolen Careers. Let Them Play.I’m a mother, and all my kids grew up playing hockey. It’s disturbing to see how false accusations can ruin young men’s lives with no consequences. This trial was a circus, and my heart goes out to these players. I hope they can return to their careers soon — they deserve that chance.
Susan supported: Five Innocent Men. Five Stolen Careers. Let Them Play.You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
