0:00.0 | You got a lot of industries that are going woke. |
0:08.6 | And a lot of people, I know, most people who watch the shows we do, they don't skateboard. |
0:12.9 | They don't know that much about it because it's not the biggest industry. |
0:14.9 | I mean, if we were talking about football, it'd be easy. |
0:16.8 | But we've got a couple really interesting stories as it pertains to a major sporting event, an Olympic sporting event, and how it's pushing female skateboarders out, and also how it's becoming increasingly racist. |
0:29.0 | Quite literally telling people that you're white, you can't be involved in a certain campaign or something like that. |
0:33.9 | That's actually our lead story. |
0:35.8 | But I also think we'll definitely get into |
0:38.0 | women's sports in general. So this is kind of like a round two. Skateboarding, of course, is kind of |
0:43.6 | the sporting linchman because I've been doing it most of my life. We got some skateboarders in the house, |
0:47.5 | some pro skateboarders. And we'll do our best for all of you who are listening to translate and |
0:52.9 | try and tone down the esoteric nature of talking |
0:55.0 | heavy sports. But for those that are that are interested, I think this is not about skateboarding. |
1:01.0 | It's just about a major sport. It's the Olympics. And it's about how we're seeing female skateboarders |
1:05.3 | be pushed out. It's about how we're seeing the industry get taken over. And what I find really |
1:09.7 | fascinating about this, |
1:14.9 | first, I'm biased because I skate. I see this more than anybody else. But I do think this matters because skateboarding is a small industry. It's a big sport. It's an Olympic sport, like I |
1:19.4 | mentioned, but it is relatively small in terms of its market share. And this means it was very |
1:24.1 | easy to inject politics into, but also really fragile. |
1:29.0 | So my view, I honestly think that a lot of this woke expansion into skateboarding has destroyed |
1:35.6 | it. And I think one of the reasons we're seeing brands fail is because of it. |
1:39.5 | You know, when you've got people who are inspired to be the best athletes being shut out |
