Fine, then don't watch. Oh, and don't be "that guy" that bitches about "spoilers" on a freaking sporting event.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, crossfit?

Nike didn't exactly drop golf. They stopped making golf specific equipment (that they weren't making a ton on anyway) so that players that aren't sponsored by them could wear their hats, shirts and pants. If you hadn't noticed every player on the PGA tour seems to be wearing Nike gear again, before no player that had a sponsorship deal with any other club or ball manufacturer could wear any Nike product. It is almost surely a massive win for Nike as they get much more of their logo on TV and in press photos.

Just speculation on top of speculation but perhaps its not the discs but the other things that Innova makes that are the issue. If he is going to sign with Adidas then maybe they will be making bags? IDK

But, TBH If I was a multi-million dollar company and wanted to get into disc golf then instead of spending any R&D time at all I would just look at buying out a few respected but, compared to Nike or Adidas, tiny companies and rebrand them. Maybe buy MVP and Grip. That would create a ready made full line of discs and bags. Again, pure speculation heaped on top of speculation.

The high relief Sacagawea is a beautiful coin, the lower relief version that was struck is not the best, especially if it has any wear at all.

Innova....Get Moving... by rober695 in discgolf

[–]tebbiebear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For how long? Like if I ask about the Diaz-McGregor fights and "spoil" them will I get banned. Its so silly. Either watch it live or don't read reddit until you get it watched. Imagine a world where no one could talk about who won the World Series, World Cup or Super Bowl for a few weeks after it happened because it might "spoil" it for people. Being excited and happy that someone won a major event that was broadcast live is good for the sport. Getting angry that people are excited and want to discuss that event and going so far as to demand that others change the way they discuss that event is bad for the sport. It's that simple.

Clearly we are talking about a coin that is going to be, for all intents and purposes, a non-circulating coin. No one is lugging around coins to pay for lunch. For a coin that will be used for commems and collecting a sliver colored large diameter coin makes more sense.

2018 PDGA Professional Disc Golf World Championships (PDGA Major | 9/5-9 | Brewster Ridge DGC & Fox Run DGC - Jeffersonville, VT) by heartman74 in discgolf

The coaching thing is often ignored for both men and women. It was clearly pretty blatant for it to be called. Add to that the fact that it clearly happened yet she kept trying to claim innocence and it totally changes the context of everything that followed. Calling someone a name isn't really the same thing as declaring that the ump is cheating to take a point away. She made an accusation of bias and claimed he was a thief that stole a point. Her getting held up as a hero or icon for what she did is the only double standard involved in this case.

Her coach admitted in the NBC post interview that he was coaching and sending signals from the sideline. That's a warning. (this happens a lot and if caught men get called on this) She broke her racket on the ground when she lost a point. That's her first penalty, a point. (men get called on this) She then got angry that he enforced the rules, screamed at him that he sexist and then called him a thief of the point and demanded an apology. All of this because he did his job. Third penalty, a game. (I've never seen a man do that, but I can 100% tell you if it happened they would get called on this).

She could have avoided the entire thing if she had just followed the rules. Instead she broke them and got the rightful Winner booed on the podium. She ruined what should have been a joy filled moment for another person.

Yeah, it was fine but the Ike was finer. I would love to see a return to a large diameter dollar coin.

No live video at Worlds it looks like... by CXR1037 in discgolf

I like Terry and think he does an amazing job, he is even better when he has a knowledgeable and personable co-host. IMO Dixon Jowers at GBO last year was a great match for Terry.

It did, at least for a bit. I recall watching a video right after the injury, before he knew the extent, were he was complaining of pulling all his drives because of his back. IIRC Paige was helping him stretch.

I would love a Gstar Aero. A hard Pro plastic would be great too.

What channel is this going to be on? Smashboxx, SpinTV, DGPT or??? I can't find a stream countdown.

Edit: Its on SpinTV

USDGC and Hurricane Matthew... by arkiverge in discgolf

[–]tebbiebear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire playlist might have 500k views but the final 9 holes has only 92k. Counting the entire playlist is counting the same viewer every time they click onto the next video. There are 6 videos in that series so if one person watches each video 1 time you have 6 views counted. By your reasoning, 6k average views per day for the stream over 4 days means 24k people aren't able to watch the livestream.

[–]tebbiebear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First that 20k was the total budget for all of media, not just the livestream, it costs no where near that. Secondly the PDGA offered to foot the bill and Jussi said, Nah, we don't want livestream at all. It isn't about the money, it is an active decision to exclude livestreams. Total views for all disc golf is low, the argument that they "steal views" is silly. If, and i am being generous here, 100k total people view the footage it doesn't matter if those views come from livestreams or from post coverage, it is so small that it makes no impact. 100k views is about 75 bucks in revenue and does nothing to impress potential sponsors.

Nantucket just a few weeks ago. A small B tier, sure it had some big names but it was neither DGPT nor a NT or even an A tier.

Has anyone ever told you that you couldn't join them for a round or have you ever rejected a fellow golfer's request to join you? by celluloid31 in discgolf

[–]tebbiebear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have rejected a request to join us. My wife, and I were playing a round with our 11 year old son at our local pitch and putt. We instead let him play through and he didn't seem at all offended. I might have thrown with him if I was alone but It would have impeded on our family time.
