This dude is the worst and he needs to write under a different name…there’s only 1 anthony pappalardo in skateboarding. This kook needs to just go write op eds for lefty publications but he probably ain’t even good enough for them.

I was a Tyshawn guy myself although I wasn’t impressed by his short king part but then after Louie’s boring last part the choice was obvious. All the people mad about Tyshawn winning were butt hurt about Nyjah or Louie not winning including the people he cited. Unfortunately for him and his argument neither Nyjah or Louie are white so case fucking closed…stop looking for race in everything and comparing the Greiner deal to a skate award is laughable at best and offensive at worst…I just find it cringe but par for the course for the guy riding off the coat tails of having the same name as one of the east coast greats.

tries to throw shade at GH trying to "monetize his opinion," when this dude is trying to do the same exact thing, albeit it in a way less entertaining and in a more pseudo intellectual way.

We were way overdue for Popps identity confusion topic. I'm glad it was partially integrated into this thread.

this guy sucks so bad.  he definitely wrote that and sat back and said "god damn i am so much smarter than everyone that will read this"

do people forget or just flat out not know that nyjah is black?
That proves he’s dumb because smart people don’t have to tell us they are smart

I'm just commenting in here to say that I'm not gonna read that article

I tried. I really tried, but I don't have any clue what the fuck this dude is trying to say.

Honestly, trying to connect Griner, Carter, Biden, Tyshawn, and a bullshit award done by a magazine that was started to be propaganda for Independent Trucks is fucking absurd to me.

None of them deserve SOTY since none of them ride for Independent.

those bands definitely suck and earth crisis does not but bands like blank stare or coke bust are more up my alley than either of the aforementioned

definitely going off topic but only vaguely because the moron that wrote this article started one of the bands talked about

blank stare > every band mentioned here.

I understand that racism is a real problem globally and American society especially is build on racism.
That hate culture in the digital world is straight stupid.
People shoud act and react behind the screen as in front of the person - with a minimum respect.

But the article was stupid.

Nyjah, Louie, TJ, Tristan and Tyshawn produce outstanding footage this year and all 5 gave enough reason for getting Thrasher SOTY.

Race and Hatespeach had nothing todo with the decision.

Despise You is better than both Coke Bust and certainly my old band. Played probably the hottest show of my life with them in Boston. Very fun.

From the looks of it he’s receiving phone calls from his coworkers who get stoked whenever they run into a skateboarder that’s heard of him.
