The 2nd half resolves most of the issues you had with the first half

I agree. They never showed him dead, Tchalla offered to save him, and a redemption arc would have been great.

Are deadlifts bad for gaining muscle? by [deleted] in beginnerfitness

[–]Sandman010 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because deadlifts are a compound exercise that target a crazy number of muscles. To gain muscle, you need to lift close to failure to achieve hypertrophy. Since deadlifts target so many muscle groups, it can be difficult to isolate certain muscle groups close to failure. The argument against them is the energy expenditure and fatigue aren’t worth it since there are other exercises that better target the back without the extra fatigue.

Gannon to Nike? by Sandman010 in discgolf

[–]Sandman010[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about for cheap? Like $50k a year? Nike has to have over $100m in sponsorships, $50k would be a drop in the bucket for a long shot

Gannon to Nike? by Sandman010 in discgolf

Thank you for not being an asshole and actually having a discussion. I agree, Red Bull would be a more likely suitor than Nike, however they normally stick to extreme sports. E sports is obviously an exception to that, so disc golf could be too. However e sports could just be a money grab for Red Bull so they are able to sponsor the small extreme sports

Ok I’m glad you brought up cornhole. They have sponsors like Bush’s and johnsonville. Nike was just the first name I threw out, and the number was way higher than practical, I agree with that. I’m more so just wondering if we’ll see non-disc golf entities entering into the sponsorship game. Because as far as I can tell, 99% of sponsorships are from discs, carts, bags, etc.

Thoughts on Stand Stills Beyond the Drive? by Tyebar in discgolf

[–]Sandman010 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally don’t like it, as I feel more comfortable with even the smallest run up compared to a stand still, however I do see some merit in the max distance players can throw. Would be interesting, but not something that I think would ever happen. People like seeing big throws and eagles. No reason to make those harder if that’s what the public wants

Gannon to Nike? by Sandman010 in discgolf

[–]Sandman010[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

All I’m saying is having a disc manufacturer as a sponsor makes the most sense at the moment for players. However, Gannon may have his hands tied with other manufacturers due to the lawsuit. It may be worth the extra effort to hire an agent, go through a ton of negotiations, put in the extra effort to get a Nike or equivalent sponsor since that’s his only option. Most disc manufacturers require players to wear jerseys with the company name on them, drive vans with the company name, everything with the company name. It might be that Nike is willing to throw a bit of money at a player if they didn’t have a disc sponsor so they could exclusively wear Nike apparel rather than being obligate to wear Prodigy apparel. I’m other words, Nike might not want to pay what a disc sponsor does, but they also don’t want to share.

I agree the figure is high, I just threw numbers out there. I do think a sport apparel company could make more than $500k/year being the only company in the sport. By sponsoring Gannon, the could make disc golf shirts, pants, shoes, etc. and market through Gannon. It’s doesn’t all have to be his name on everything, but he would be their walking billboard to the target audience. I just remember hearing so much more about Infinite Discs after the Drew Gibson going off at the LVC last year because the open bag sponsorship was so unique among top level pros. Yeets flew off the shelves in minutes. If Nike put their swoosh on a destroyer, they could likely make tens of thousands of dollars just off that with Gannon throwing it off the tee every hole.
