...I can't help but think, holding us back from WHAT..? Courses are going in the ground at an unprecedented rate. Disc companies are throwing new products at us every week. The PDGA and even this site is gaining members daily..I don't see an issue.
^^this right here.^^ We will likely never be televised with the regularity of curling or badmitton, let alone baseball or (american) football. tacking on a war chant for marketing purposes is misguided at best, and a disservice to the anthem itself, assuming one goes in for the whole nationalistic/patriotic chest thumping.
For all we know this may be the absolute apex of our sport right now, with half a dozen film crews working Worlds and putting out mostly awesome product, viewable for FREE I might add, and more new plastic from more new companies than anyone possibly needs. Our little corner of the sporting world will almost certainly not get significantly bigger or more mainstream than it is right now, which is fine by me, and no one should expect ESPN to come knocking just because TDs start flying the stars & stripes.
Besides, everyone knows that drinking/smoking is to blame for stunting our growth. :eyeroll:
