Just looked on his insta and his street style is atrocious and also it was immediately apparent that he's Christian as.
How does that gel with nitro circus? I guess I stopped paying attention when it was still crusty demons. But thinking on it now it makes sense these guys are like, wholesome nerds.
It looks like Nitro Circus is perfectly happy to take money from these guys

Both Nitro Circus and Street League have turned into a weird ass MAGA psy-op. I wish I was fucking kidding and it was some Bobby Puleo connect the dots thing. But it's not an accident why they have "sponsors" like Public Square or Rumble, which both lean hard into the alt-right anti-LGBTQ+/anti-mask/anti-abortion/conspiracy bullshit. And it's not that SLS or Nitro Circus have money problem, so they need sponsors.
What happened in 2022, was that Thrill One (which was formed in 2020 by merger of SLS, Nitro Circus and Thrill One media/Superjacket, that also owned shows such as Dyrdek's Ridiculousness) was acquired by a private equity firm called
Fiume Capital for 300 million dollars.
Fiume Capital's (also known as Fertitta Capital) Lorenzo Fertitta (who is also the owner the owner of UFC, another thing heavily featured on Rumble) and his family is heavily in invested in Trump and his campaigns, so it's not a surprising that Nitro Circus sponsors changed in a year from stuff like Ripley's Believe it or Not, Bell-helmets and Yokohama bikes to Public Square, US Army/Marines and some army vet coffee thing.
You could argue that no-one is stupid enough to go from watching Nitro Circus to being a MAGA kook, just because they saw a Rumble-ad. But people in general are pretty damn dumb, and stuff like this actually a really effective way to mask your true intents, when your goal is radicalization.
That's why they hire stooges like Chris Roberts to do Nitro Circus vlogs about hanging with Beaver and his Public Square shirt.
