The Inevitable 2016 Pros Switching Sponsors Thread

I don't think a disc manufacturer can force a player to cancel or turn down a bag contract with a non-disc-manufacturer company. If all they do is bags (or apparel), there's not really a conflict of interest. What the disc manufacturers can do, however, is incentivize carrying their bag enough so that it's a better deal than going with the outside company.

A disc company can do whatever they want with a contract. What they choose to do is a different story.
A discraft player told me he could use any bag, so long as it wasn't from another disc manufacturer, Lat, Gateway, etc.

Could it be because our bags are really nice??

Nah can't be, that's way too simple for DGCR.

Hmm, I'm not sure... Send me one and I'll let you know!

Yep, and the team contract stipulations could even be negotiated on a separate player by player basis.

The interesting part is the thing about disc manufacturers forcing their players to use their own backpacks. That´s something I haven´t heard about before.

I would not be surprised to see companys start to require players to use their bags.

Jim Oates, Drew Gibson. What disc is that?

Does that mean McBeast is going to start toting a green plaid Hero bag? :gross:

Looks like Drew is holding a Westside Harp with all the details scribbled out on the disc...

 

[Kidd Mack]

From what I understand Paige is not switching teams. Don't quote me tho.

Yeah, with matching socks.

Lol yeah right. In nova would have to pony up even more to make that happen. Grip is too good to paul. Never gonna happen

Heard Drew is one of those people who finds discs with ink on them, and scribbles it out.

Good point! :thmbup:

From what I understand Paige is not switching teams. Don't quote me tho.

From what I've heard, she's under contract for another year. Contracts can be broken, but might cost more money than a disc golfer has. A suitor interested in having her on board may be sufficiently motivated to help her get out of said contract.

What do you know about that Mack?

 

[Kidd Mack]

Drews dad told me he heard them talking on the phone about it. That's all I know.

 

[Discette]

Jim Oates, Drew Gibson. What disc is that?

Well, first of all, the guy on the tee is not Jim Oates, it is Bill Ashe. If Bill Ashe, a Novice level player, is on the tee, chances are that guy is NOT Drew Gibson, but another So Cal area Novice or Rec level player. Just sayin....

 

[Kidd Mack]

Yeah that's Jim Oates. At shady oaks in orangevale ca.

 

[Kidd Mack]

Here's a better angle.

 

[Aim For The Chains]

Yeah that's Jim Oates. At shady oaks in orangevale ca.

Dont worry about discette.... Pretty normal move lol
