It's with a heavy heart that I am forced to announce that Jerryboards will no longer be sponsoring Squeachu and RedRidingRoboCat.
Following the events of Slam Pinnacle II this past weekend, which you can read about here, it was announced that Jerryboards would drop Squeachu as a sponsored player. I believe that Jerryboards is a team that represents clean, competitive fun and sportsmanship, values which we expect our players to represent. I cannot condone the sort of behavior displayed this past weekend, and it isn't compatible with the values of Jerryboards. Because of this, I no longer feel justified in allowing Squeachu to represent our team. I'm disappointed to have to make this decision, but as the person who first reached out to Squeachu about the sponsorship opportunity, it's my responsibility to recant it now.
RedRidingRoboCat requested to leave the team, as well, following these events, as he felt guilty staying on the team. The other players involved in the scandal insisted that RedRidingRoboCat was not to blame for what happened, and I would be more than willing to keep RedRidingRoboCat on the team were that what he wanted, but ultimately it's his decision to make. I would never force a player to stay on if they would feel guilty for doing so. It makes me sad to see such a talented player leave Jerryboards, and I wish him the best in his future endeavors.
At the present time Jerryboards has no plans to sponsor other players, but we may examine possibilities later, once the community has had time to recover. At the end of the day, we expect that players representing Jerryboards show integrity, honesty and sportsmanship no matter what game is being played. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I'd like to wish everyone a happy start to your summer of Whiskers.
