You two must have missed Stiener’s “Puleo Logic” story post where he said Puleo asked him to proofread an email asking for a raise because iPath got bought out by Timberland.

I've stuck up for Bobby, both as a skateboarder and as a figurehead, for years now. His skateboarding and drive obviously speaks for itself and while I haven't always agreed with what he said, I appreciated that he was willing to speak out of turn and voice his opinions, regardless the outcome. With that being said, there is absolutely nothing okay about shaming an LGBTQ person for coming out, or telling an Asian photographer to "go back to Korea." He's reached the point of no return, and I see no reason to stick up for a bitter old asshole whose best years of skating can likely be replicated by a few kids on Instagram now.
well said!

Impish sausage is definitely gonna blow up as a euphemism this year

Quick question, and maybe I missed it, but how did Bobby disrespect LGBT community, namely Steve Brandi? What did he say about his coming out?

In case you guys haven't had enough Bobby this week...

timandvicstagram: "Maybe you should consider changing your name to “Steve Branding”😂. Using one’s sexual preference to sell a Nike product is not only super shameful and lame, it’s also pretty offensive to not only the LBGQT community your pretend to be championing, but also to the skateboard community. At this point(and especially after BA already used this dead horse tactic to sell another Nike product), I’m fairly certain most skateboarders don’t give a fuck what you or anyone else’s sexual preference is. And on top of that, it shouldn’t matter. Not to you and definitely not to them. So that’s what makes these “posts” so curious. “Coming out on IG and Thrasher”? Don’t you have any class or respect for yourself? Does one’s sexual preference have any place in skateboarding? In fact, I’ll go as far as to say that I don’t know what’s more offensive in this case, discriminating against someone because of their sexual preference or using a sexual preference to promote and sell a Nike product. The timing of this “announcement”, the Thrasher “interview”(maybe advertisement is more accurate?) and the release of the Hopps/Converse shoe and “promo” just seems a little too “coincidently” close for comfort. Love ya bro. #businessneverpersonal"

He has officially caused me to forget about how much of a fan I was of him, and in my eyes, the final nails are being hammered into his coffin. Every single word in that statement involving BA and Brandi coming out in order to sell Nike’s is so completely laughable. I won’t bother breaking the whole statement down, but I truly think Bobby is a real piece of shit, and I hope he’s blackballed by the industry. IMO, he has 100% Officially kooked himself way past the point of return. Crawl back into the gutters of NYC, keep your bus boy job (that most 43 year olds have), and disappear from the skate world for life. You’ve earned a lifetime ban. So if you ever run into Pete Rose, you two can talk about what it’s like to be banned from your respective sports.

Check out his responses after he left that ridiculous comment. What a flat-out, pathetic, fucking loser. I can't believe I was a ever a fan of his or had any respect for him. I'm with you. The industry should just keep ignoring him and he can continue to be a delusional, self-absorbed moron.

I should have known he was insane when he anonymously argued with his own friend, Josh Stewart, for days on the Theories site. That Towel vs Theorizer argument was so embarrassing to read through. Bobby Puleo is a flat-out kook.

Bibby needs to Puleo out of IG. I get being a miserable man,but he really doesn't know when to shut the fuck up. Dropping my fandom of him like a bag of rocks.

Now, to balance the scale, I'd like to talk about some things that bring us together, things that point out our similarities instead of our differences. 'Cause that's all you ever hear about in this country. It's our differences. That's all the media and the politicians are ever talking about—the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another. That's the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money! Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different—that's what they're gonna talk about—race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank! You know how I define the economic and social classes in this country? The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showing up at those jobs.

It's like, no Bobby. But I also haven't delivered for Door Dash, either. Not that there's anything wrong with that...I just haven't done either.

No, Theories is sick. I don't know what this is. That future board isn't a placeholder. I skated two a few years ago, because up till these recent developments, I was a big fan.

  I don't know what Bobby said but there def was a pretty hi budget campaign when BA came out.   And it did give him an 5 extra years, -easily!   and having to do no gnarly skate shit for it either.   that part was weak af but no one on here was saying that.   Power to him tho,  dudes gotta eat.

That's actually a really good strategy. Maybe J Wray should try it.

I believe he genuinely has absolutely nothing against lgbt-people and feels that part of treating one as an equal is giving them shit like an equal, no matter what the person's sexuality is.

Obviously he did not anticipate how seriously people would react to him criticizing someone coming out on instagram. Maybe coming out is nothing to Bobby, but that's definitely not the case for the general public. Very poor judgement on his part.

   To be having the best judgement possible in todays landscape you'd have to be pretty slick, i'd say.

I genuinely believe Bobby wants every last person to leave NYC, no matter their country of origin. He hates every human being equally.

Edit: now that someone’s making this argument below for real, I feel like I need to just walk this joke back. He should know better. No excuse for the comments to Pep or Brandi.

There's no excuse. But he did also tell Leo Valls or Vivien Feil (don't remember which one) to go back to France and Mark Suciu to go back to the west coast. When he said it to the Magenta guy no one had a problem because they are part of the ruling white class. Understandably it sounds completely different when he tells it to an asian, but apparently Bobby does not get it.

I believe again Bobby thinks that giving shit to a person in a very confrontational working class way is a sign of respect.  He's a product of an era in which this was the norm in skateboarding. That's no excuse though for sounding racist.
