I'm not totally convinced that it's in McFly's best interest to portray every player in the best possible light, nor that the way to "grow the sport" is to whitewash every little bit of negativity out of it. Every other sport has players with major emotional outbursts, and those players drive a lot of the popularity of those sports. Look at how many page views ESPN gets on articles about Yasiel Puig, Richard Sherman, Ron Artest etc. A video showing what happens after the bad shots is going to end up getting a lot more views than a video showing nothing but the disc golf and some happy high fives. Obviously it's a different story if you're making a promotional or instructional video, but I think a lot of people tune in to these tournament videos not only to see the disc golf, but to see how the players interact and react on the course.
I think Dave's stance comes from a lot more selfish place than you're giving him credit for. I think he's worried about his own brand but doesn't want to have to take ownership for that himself.
Yep. I remembered hearing it but didn't know whether or not it was Feldberg. Like I believe tbird said if the players could watch their mouths there wouldn't be a problem.It's interesting how this controversy follows worlds, where Marty caught Dave calling the volunteer spotters 'F***ING AMATEURS'
I completely agree with whoever said McFly should cut Feldberg completely out of his videos. Show his name in the scores but don't show any of his shots. There's no way he would ever watch a DG vid that he's not in, so that would get him off Marty's back guaranteed...
Another thing all of these "it's hurting the kids" people clearly don't understand is that if a kid does see a video where players are out there cursing and slinging plastic that's going to make them want to play disc golf even more. Now if their parents tell them disc golf is bad because that guy on there is cursing then the kids are going to want to play disc golf for ****ing sure.

You'd be assuming wrong.I'm assuming Feldberg has stopped smoking on the course - especially in view of children? Surely smoking has harmed more people then the occasional curse word uttered in the heat of competition.
My favorite Feldberg video:
I've watched KG play for the T-Wolves throughout my childhood. The occasional curse word during coverage was great.

Only time I recall following a Feldy card he was disruptive and had a chip on his shoulder about rules and equipment of the sport. STFU and play, and lose the f'ing tobacco.
