Does it seem to anyone else like it took forever for Braille to cut ties with this dude?
In most major sports, players suspected of domestic abuse/drug use/DUI/sexual assault get suspended or let go as soon as word gets out that they might have done something wrong. If nothing actually took place, they may or may not get their spot back, but my point is, the big stick and ball sports have been pretty proactive lately (after decades of letting shit slide or sweeping it under the rug). When will skateboarding do the same?
For example, look what happened to the MLB pitcher that was recently arrested for more or less the same thing:
https://triblive.com/sports/felipe-vazquezs-arrest-stirs-up-emotions-in-pirates-clubhouse/Locker cleaned out. Everything gone, like the dude never existed. The organization understands due process and that he's innocent until proven guilty, but until then, he's dead to them for even being in this situation in the first place.
It does not look good for Braille AT ALL that they waited so long to do anything. In fact, it's probably the worst thing they could have done for their brand.
The second they caught wind that this might have happened, they should have dumped Fetty and removed his videos and merch. That's how you make a statement that you (at least pretend to) care about kids. Of course I'm an advocate for due process, but when you're in the public eye like this - and, most importantly,
working with children - the rules are a little different. Simply put, you should never put yourself in a position where you could be seen as a predator. If you're doing everything above-board, that shouldn't even be a problem.
Lastra couldn't have picked a better time to jump ship. I wonder if he knew anything.
