The inevitable re-attempt at a 2020 Pros Switching Sponsors Thread

[Hampstead]

I cannot believe anyone would be stupid enough to think this, much less type it.

What a worthless garbage fire.

It was a joke and acknowledged as such. This has been addressed several pages back. No need to bring it back up.

If she goes to Discraft I hope they make the Stalker her signature disc and put Nate Perkins' face on the stamp.

I would actually appreciate this level of honesty...screw all of this "we are a family" BS.

I simply meant it as a play "grow the sport," which is my least favorite phrase in the game.

Nice that Hailey King go on the Elite Team. . but i guess Van Dyken did not?

Feel like Van Dyken was brought in to be Discrafts top FPO player

 

[Odedge]

Yes, she broke her Prodigy contract. Technically she wasn't under contract when she signed with DD. I don't have a lot of other details beyond that. But, I confirmed that.

And amicable is a funny word. DD didn't want her to leave. PP wanted to leave. She was not under an official signed contract, just a verbal agreement. It does neither side any good to make a public stink.

Initially, I didn't like Paige bringing up the "loyalty" factor in her video because it seemed like there was a contract that didn't have an opt-out option for the player. If it was an informal statement of support, I find that rather odd that both DD and Paige would have that given she is the best overall FPO player. :doh:

Makes you wonder what a DD "signing" announcement really means ...

I mean, you have to fault both sides. That means that Paige just trusted whatever DD said they were going to provide her. It was a trust issue on both sides of the table. I think there was a lesson learned on both sides hopefully.

much speculation

such wow

so overthinking

conclusions jumping

Spot on. Could have been that DD agreed to let her shop herself around knowing they couldn't give her what she ultimately was going to get. Also could be that they were simply too trusting of her and got it square in the back.

Living out of a van, trying various youtube ventures (traveling all over (Disc Golf Tourist series)), helping out with dg photography, finding time to practice, touring, etc. If I was a betting man, I'd say the 30s are knocking and they want financial security and DD wasn't able to provide that for her. Seems like DC is willing to put up the financial risk, I believe DD was quoted as saying they couldn't afford Paul McBeth, maybe it's the same way with Paige, and DC offered her a deal she couldn't refuse.

Fun that Hailey King has the Undertaker as her tour series disc. . .i think she said in the last "Discraft Underground Bag check" that she had never thrown an Undertaker

Somebody fill me in on this.

I don't know if it is just a poor attempt at comedy, or if people really don't know the dynamic of what is going on "on tour".

Why not both?

Sounds like NP is stalking PP?...

 

[DiscFifty]

NP is in a relationship with AL and PP is friends with both. Rumors, gossip, etc, abound.

 

[Jugular]

Aren't Nate and Alyssa an item and PP and Alyssa BFFs? Or do you all watch too many soaps to think things are so straightforward?

 

[Jugular]

Aside from the MCBeth's I can't imagine Disc Golfers getting together for the long term is at all good financial life-planning.

I mean, maybe it ISN'T the real Nate Perkins, maybe it is his evil twin brother back from the dead who has amnesia?
