Man, that Kareem post is another bummer. I didn't realize Don Brown was also a covidiot. Fuck.
Edit: I think it's about time someone with a better memory than me does the skate world/Slap a favor and creates a thread that's literally a list of all the pro's who who have outed themselves as anti-vaxxers, abusers, conspiracy theorists, maga dorks and anything else worthy of a good shaming. I'm serious. It would be a great resource for all of us who aren't idiots and would prefer NOT to support those who actively make the world a worse place to live in. Lets see it!
You can add Rowley to your list:
I think Rowley is a secret churchy. During lockdown I was bored and watched all the old sls comps. There's a few times when prod is talking to his hat Rowley says something like"just saying a quick prayer to our Lord that's beautiful to see" and sounds fairly sincere. Not that being religious itself is a problem but seems to be religious people lean more towards the covid is bullshit side
Where im from the majority of unvaccinated are between the ages of 20 and 35. They are also saying that faith and religious establishmenta are at a 90 percent vaccination rate. That's just my part of the world, but I was surprised to hear that.
In America the vast majority of "Christian" religious leaders are just mouth pieces for the Republican party with sermons full of misinformation. Helps keep there echo chamber tightly sealed.
Really sucks about all these skaters saying ignorant shit but I'm not surprised, these are high school drop outs who haven't spent any time developing critical thinking skills. Similar to what we've seen from professional athletes/entertainers; which is why we shouldn't be hero-ifying these types of people. Just because a person has an admirable amount of talent in one discipline definitely doesn't make them an admirable person.
I agree that it was better before social media when we didn't know or care what our favorite skaters thought about politics or science but what really bums me out is that these guys offer up this kind of stupidity without any encouragement or provocation; like just because they have a small amount of fame and an opinion they've borrowed from Facebook they have to now share it with everyone. No one's making them post this shit, and if they had any sense they'd realize the many reasons not to. Unforced errors man.
Someone oughtta tell Don Brown that only "tough guys" can get the "shots" and he'll probably jump at the chance. Dude's such a lush man-baby. He was barely tolerable as the semi-cringey cornball uncle type but now that he's gone full blown alt-right uncle fuck him.
