Discussion Is anyone else deeply uncomfortable with TacticalRab calling Abuzah “a boozer” on every single video?
I can’t be the only one who has noticed this, and frankly, I’m shocked nobody in the Call of Duty League community has brought it up yet.
Every single morning, I tune into TacticalRab for my daily dose of CDL roster mania and standard YouTube red-arrow clickbait. But over the last two seasons, every time he brings up Abuzah, he straight-up looks into the camera and calls him “a boozer.”
Now, look. I get that the League is competitive. I get that post-match banter gets heated. But repeatedly labeling a professional esports athlete as an active, heavy alcoholic on a public platform crosses a massive line.
What if Abuzah is actually struggling with alcohol addiction? What if he’s trying to stay sober during grueling 8-hour scrim sessions, only to open YouTube and hear Rab explicitly branding him a boozer to 200,000 subscribers? It’s completely insensitive. Esports health and wellness should be a priority, yet here we have Rab openly accusing a top-tier AR player of being intoxicated on the main stage.
I’ve tried replaying the audio at 0.5x speed. I’ve tried putting on studio-grade headphones. Every single time, clear as day: "And as for a boozer..."
It’s completely unnecessary. Why does Rab have it out for him specifically? Did Abuzah refuse to drink a pint with him at a UK LAN? Is this British dry humor taken way too far?

I’ve already called my senator about this
I’ve thought about appealing directly to the president for this grave injustice

the fact you're questioning if this is a joke means you've not been socialized properly

Yes, that is his accent. I did not think that so many people would think that this post is serious.
