I wish I'd been a bit more forthright.

Livedoor has taken a step back in the battle to establish a baseball team after being accused of hosting adult websites.

It's ridiculous to even make an issue of something like this, but people still ask. That can't be helped. But how should the response be? It's a bit disappointing that President Horie described adult sites as if they were something that couldn't be helped, couldn't be avoided, and was wrong. I think he should have responded more confidently, saying something like, "Yes, they exist, but so what?" That might make people angry, saying that we are allowing adult sites that are harmful to the healthy development of young people, but then I would like them to ask again, "What do you mean, healthy?" Because I'm sure he wouldn't be able to give a proper answer...

  1. It was so strange.

    Because it's a sports newspaper that covers baseball.
    Isn't it full of adult articles?
    Is it sexual harassment to spread it around in a car?
    There are so many explicit articles and photos that it's hard to believe.
    But,
    No one is saying that you can't publish baseball articles.

    My dad loves baseball, fishing, horse racing, and adult stuff.
    Not everyone says that
    Obviously you have citizenship.
    (I don't wholeheartedly agree with this, but...)

    It's just Livedoor bullying.
    I wish they had just been open about it, like Nat said.
    I guess that's part of what makes up your business.
    If only he would just speak out and say what is right at this point...
    That's just an outsider's opinion.

    I'm getting tired of this farce.
