Daniel Negreanu and Amanda Leatherman Clapback at Trolls

Once again, some in the poker community have a strange fascination with Daniel Negreanu’s love life. This time, however, he answered. 

A few days ago, we published an article on Daniel Negreanu’s relationship with Amanda Leatherman. It was successful in great part thanks to Daniel and Amanda themselves retweeting it. 

We thank them for the retweets though this allowed us to get a glimpse at their trolls. We won’t give them any more attention by posting their tweets here, we’ll instead showcase the responses from the couple and their friends.

Despite what you may think of Negreanu or Leatherman, it is great to see that members of this community do, in fact, stick up for each other. Poker Twitter sometimes gives the impression that everybody hates everybody, this and other December news prove that’s not (always) the case. 

If I may editorialize for a bit, I don’t get why people become so invested in a celebrity’s relationship, much less a poker celebrity’s. No offense to Daniel or Amanda, but I doubt TMZ is knocking down doors searching for the latest scoop on their status. 

And yet, their personal lives is something people in the community feel compelled to comment on. I don’t get it. Trust me, I realize this is the second article I write about their relationship in a week, but I’m being paid to care about it because you guys do so for free. 

You guys are being weird, is all I’m saying.
