The Disc Golf Pro Tour has some serious backtracking to do with the insane news dropped on Friday. This allows a very interesting opportunity to have an outside person or business swoop in and gather up the marketshare that is being left behind.

The drama queen of the disc golf world 💅💅
I purchased tickets to the MVP Open already, and if they make a new event for the FPO somewhere reasonably close, like say New Hampshire, I would buy another ticket just to support the women's golf. However I also anticipate that the tour may provide free admission to those who had already purchased tickets expecting both MPO and FPO. Curious to see what happens.
More Money More Problems.
Love the face reveal ❤
You had some very interesting takes on the future of disc golf. But not matter what direction it goes, the issue of men playing in the women's FPO division against the will of the actual women players will still need to be handled. All world wide pro sports, including disc golf, have to be able to say who is eligible to play in each particular division. Countries, States, Cities, etc can not be aloud to dictate to pro sports who can or cannot play in each division. Pro sports needs to get strong on this!
I’m still wondering why manufacturers are not stepping in and putting up a little funding for the DGPT and the court cases?? Its kinda disgusting they have not stepped in even a little. Beating this in court is the true way of winning.
I think it's obvious that this is the fault of a mentally ill individual leveraging laws made by delusional, placating legislatures more concerned with reelection than helping their constituents.
I don't think they should be pressured by an extremist into backing off their policy, if the majority of FPO players support the current restrictions. That said, they shouldn't have taken a position to cancel or alter FPO events until after the season.
Really awful decision to hurt the whole FPO. They are showing that they care more about excluding trans women than they care about women in the first place.
Im still trying to figure out why nobody has come up with a better tour. Dont understand what being a member of the PDGA gets you other then ratings the mean nothing. The DGPT has the elite, silver and other series for what? Can we get a simple tour where your ranked by how you finish and get rid of rated rounds that mean ?
Just make 2 FPO divisions.
One for bio born females only
One for trans and those that support that issue.
I hear there are enough players on both sides in the FPO that disagree about this issue, and if they split the division with this issue, that they would wind up having top players in both divisions that they would no longer play against. Because they would now be in separate divisions. But it could save the whole FPO and grow both divisions if they do it right.
All he has to do is have it specifically say in the rules that trans players play mixed. It's not any more exclusionary than the rules already are.
I've been trying to get ahold of a Netflix producer acquaintance. I think they could blow it up so hard, and they already have the software ability to switch camera views etc live (would take solid logistical work and $$$ onsite to make happen, but doable with stationary cameras/ops). Need to get more money to players, and definitely need way higher production quality, given how tough the dynamic range situation is with the ultra bright/super dark transitions.
I think they'd be interested in basically owning a sport, and most people already subscribe to Netflix.
I think this was a bad decision.
Final short term chapter not written yet. Guessing most cancelled FPO will be re-located. Long frame focus, policy and not person centered – just a matter of time before a dominator akin to a Lia Thomas comes in and decimates the field. Tour will honor ticket holders or refund I suspect. When was the last time Paige Shue cashed ? C'mon man !
Nobody who went thru male puberty should ever compete in any protected women's events. It ain't right.
No tour for FPO can work as long as lawsuits come in based on some states policy on competitive fairness. I think going forward leaving Illinois, California, etc is the way to do it. Smart business people wont support a tour if lawsuits cost more then the revenus FPO brings in. Rich dudes arent rich becuase they lose money in business.
Get rid of Nate.
Terrible decision to cancel these events. Hurts the MPO players, especially those traveling from Europe.
So obviously the argument that DGPT doesn’t have enough to pay lawyers was total hogwash. Owner is a billionaire!!
There’s a reason athletic unions exist.
This whole situation is so dumb and avoidable.
Where else can you decide you don’t like an athlete, pass rules to exclude that athlete LOSE IN COURT about the rules change, and instead of complying with the law, just choose to cancel the entire thing. Shrug emoji.
The decision to cancel fpo events was stupid.
Breakimg News!!!! Nintendo is launching a new Wii system to support Natilie Ryan!!! It is going to be called the Wii NR 😂
You do understand that this was a forced issue. By one potential player. Again, one bad apple spoils the whole bushel. If the pro tour bend knee to the trans activists, then that is the end. Period. Remove that irrational issue and there's just product issues, copyrights, etc. Not a huge impact on the game. there have been major sports that have defined rules concerning men who think they're women. No participation. You want to play the game? Great. For money? possibly taking cash out of women's (you never see a trans man demand to play against real men, for good reason) hands. Pro cycling? Nope, no trans athletes. Pro track & field? Nope. Pro football? Have at it girls. Pro baseball? Again, no way any born female turned ,ale competes at that level. This is all some ashole's agenda being pushed on everyone. Time to just stop it and say no way asshole.. Oh, and by the way, I don't give a shit what anyone thinks about this. It isn't MY truth is THE truth. God's truth. Not some idiot who's life work is to screw society because they have a chip on their shoulder. Mom or Dad didn't love them enough, whatever. No one is the center of the universe. That spot is taken and it ain't you. Or a dude who wants to be called natalie.
Stop misrepresenting this issue as "the entire cancellation of FPO." This is inaccurate and you and the other content creators who continue to deliberately or accidentally cloud this issue are doing yourselves a disservice, as well as your audience. It detracts from everything else you do in your videos. You have a responsibility to accurately frame these issues. You're basically telling us you don't know what you're talking about. The FPO division was created by the PDGA at least as far back as 1982 as near as I can tell through research, and it wouldn't surprise me if it existed before then. That was before the DGPT existed. The DGPT specifically decided not to hold a small number FPO events. The division went nowhere. It was not cancelled.
I want to see lawsuits from people that bought tickets and DGPT not delivering on the promised event.
Not sure how just one stupid decision is leading you to contemplate an entire new tour!? I mean this is a pretty stupid hasty decision to "save" money. Let Natalie Ryan play in the states she can win a lawsuit in and everybody wins. And ironically it won't be her winning because Tattar is smashing the feild right now as well as the exciting newer talent winning events this season. Let Ryan play and see if she can make a lead card again!? It was fun watching her last year. Haters are gonna hate. Trans athletes are a super minority so quit crying. This situation would be much different if 10% of the field or more were trans. This is not the case and probably will never be the case.
Libtards pretending men are women are ruining the FPO
This Nike tour is silly banter on a goofy podcast like you referenced. Going into it here, pie in the sky, is just nothing but bullshit banter ideas from someone elses podcast. Terrible! And amateurish. Hype driven sports talk 🙄
The pro tour is not going underwater. Stop complicating this. The DGPT doesn't want to get railroaded in court by rogue judges in leftist states with last second rulings again… if you support FPO, thank the DGPT. Follow Cat Allen's lead.
No. Your takes are worthless. First time I’ve watched -strike 1
