This is amazing:

FINDING: USA Skateboarding does not have a written statement of ethics that guides employees and members.

USOPC RESPONSE:  For the audit period of 2022, USA Skateboarding does not meet the standard. However, as of January 1, 2023, this will no longer be a requirement; thus, no remediation action is required.

I tripped on this too when I saw it.

If I recollect correct, these guys are actually masquerading as a skateboard organization, when in fact, they were, prior to their current incarnation, the governing body of competive rollerskating/inline sports competitions.
My hard drive may be glitching on this file recall, but I’m pretty certain these fucks have no business speaking on behalf of skateboarders at all.
We probably owe ol’ Brinky a collective thank you & a pat on the back for shining the spotlight on these turkeys’ mismanagement.
I’m gonna guess they fucked him over personally, or maybe some friends of his & he decided he wasn’t having it.
Now if only he can get skating removed from the Olympics altogether, I’ll buy him a steak dinner to go with that back pat.

Skateboarding in the Olympics is a good thing.  It doesn't affect you but it does legitimize something globally that could potentially help more kids start skating.  The more kids/people skate, the better our industry does on a national and global scale. 

Also, I think you're referring to Worldskate which is a global entity that governs all sports performed on skating wheels which certainly applies to skateboarding. 

In general, what happens globally at this level in terms of how they handle skateboarding doesn't really affect your ability to go skate with your friends so I don't know why your panties are in a bunch.

definitely works for globe and/or dwindle

wasn’t there some mention of team usa encouraging crowdfunding to get riders plane tickets to the olympics, as they weren’t covering the flights themselves?

No as an org we are responsible for raising money through sponsors and donors to support the athletes. That’s the main purpose. Yes some of them have their own money but that’s not how it works. Just like any other professional athlete has their expenses paid by their team or org. They don’t pay out of pocket to fly to games, etc.

I’m aggressively uninterested and yes I took the time to comment this.

@no one YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS BRO?!

Hahaah I’m the whistleblower. Peep my IG stories. They owe me and others a LOT of money. But that’s nothing compared to the absolute trainwreck the org has become overall and how fucked the people currently running it are being. Way bigger problems. And I likely won’t even get paid at this point for talking but fuck it. I’m going with it. The people need to know.

[close]

Great work, but maybe don't dilute the important information in your IG stories with a trillion stupid memes?

[close]

It's not diluted as I have mainstream media hitting me up and the word is spreading ... and you are here talking about it. Leave the publishing and content syndication strategy to the guy who's been doing it professionally for 22 years. Get the info, enjoy the memes and leave the rest to me.

Yeah idk man you're not the only one working in this field professionally and tbh your insta stories and the way you're defending it on here makes you look borderline manic (or drunk), not professional. You have a cock meme on your stories right in between making a case about a missing ethics statement and when somebody tells you the meme is stupid you take it as a personal insult and am incentive to condescend...

Still kudos for exposing the story! Is there any hope there'll be actual consequences and it ends up in skaters hands?

Cock memes are funny.

It’s no one’s world.  We’re all just living in it.

[SR ACF]

Are they funny to, I don't know let's say: a lawyer trying to build a case against you on behalf of the very people you're trying to get indicted. Like is it so far fetched to suggest you might have also found it funny to share such memes with the Olympic team's athletes some.of whom are very underage?

Playing devil's advocate here but you just can't seriously argue against these unfunny memes (because they really aren't, just cringey dad humour) diluting your primary cause. You posted it on here yourself earlier: Stay on topic!

What are you even talking about dude. No my memes cannot get me in legal trouble. My release from the company is documented as because of “budgetary reasons” because that’s what happened and nothing will change that. I also no longer work for any olympic-related organization so it doesnt matter what memes I post. But keep scrambling to morph this into the very popular “anti-no one” narrative yet again, at any cost, here on Slap.

Your choice wether you wanna take other people's advice / opinions on here seriously but for the greater causes sake let's judt hope you're right.

I’m right.

Wow … 2022 … the year Slap starts condemning memes.

[BRINK]

It’s no one’s world.  We’re all just living in it.

Def how it seems here from the amount of attention I get even when shit isn’t about me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

People would rather turn a thread into insulting me than to just have the dialogue that the thread is about. Its wild.

I wish I knew what anyone was talking about but it’s still fun just to read everything.

Part of the greatness of SLAP, you can still laugh your arse off from drama even with zero context of why, who, when

[TheWineClub]

Woah woah woah, why are we glossing over the cake talk? Any chance it was chocolate cake?

This post, in a nutshell, basically states everything that needs to be said about this “Olympic skateboarding team”. Really nothing else needs to be said… beyond that, I can’t imagine why anyone should care about the Olympic skateboarding team and anything that has to do with it.

That tweet is terrible.. dear max, not everyone who posts their opinions here is a “keyboard warrior”. In fact, I bet that at least 90% of the people who post here genuinely care as much, (probably a hell of lot more) about skateboarding as you do. So, your upset because you don’t like the opinions people expressed  about you here on the forum? so you though that it was a good idea to go on twitter and do the same thing that annoyed you about what people had to say about you on this forum? That makes a lot of sense.. if the popularity of skateboarding died like it did in the early 90’s you wouldn’t bother talking about anything pertaining to skateboarding… “pick your pools”? that shit sounds like something that someone, completely out of touch with skateboarding’s culture would say..so basically, you do sound like a skate dad who is a beacon of light to the problem of skateboarding culture’s second hand embarrassment dilemma.

After watching the video and reading the first 3 comments on that tweet I’ve come to the realization that this dude is much more embarrassing than 2nd hand embarrassment.. the comment that one of those dipshits wrote in response to his tweet was “max just carved you up, get it” my fucking god! That’s gotta be the worst play on words I’ve ever read, makes me want to rinse my eyes out with bleach and hull cleaner!
