What a loser.
That sucks. I'd love to have an opportunity to play the DDO. People want an opportunity to play those tournaments. Thanks buddy!
The kids. Like Melton said. He is a kid. That's what you will get
Rules said can’t walk into pond and get disc in a tourney. I didn’t read them. Walked into the water and a card mate pointed it out so I disqualified myself. It said disqualification in the rules but the card and spotter said they wouldn’t say anything and I still disqualified myself
Brodie don't give him an out. Just be real. He's a kid who gets what he wants.
Yeah shouldn’t drop out mid round. Yeah shouldn’t post a video. But this is where context matters a whole fuck ton and i don’t think bearing down on cole is necessarily correct. Also judging the kid based off one video and trying to guess what he was feeling isn’t correct either. Sure made a bad call as a KID. We’ve all been 18-19-20 etc. we’ve all made mistakes his happened to be public. Should he get talked to? Yes. But to say all of disc golf is gonna go down this path because one person did it is just false. Every sport has had to deal with this. 1 person isn’t gonna change the narrative of how the sport is played. Look at Nikko. People thought this sort of thing would bubble into how other people play have we seen it? I’d argue not at all. It’s a case by case. Can you say it’s a bad look sure but i don’t think dragging the kid through the mud and trying to add your own bias to what he feels is correct because other people will look at you and start to mimic that voicing onto a young player with a lot of promise. Those words should be said privately i don’t care if it’s good content. If you care about the sport then you should handle this more privately for the sake of a young player with a lot of promise who can progress the sport once you guys leave.
terrible ook from one of my favorite players to watch, i hope he recovers well from this and bounces back, not gonna write him off over something like this
It's his life. I have zero issue with anyone doing what's best for them. These guys all make fair points though.
If a marathon runner just gave up with 3kms to go be much different? So they could catch an early bus home?
I think fpo should play smaller tracks and get their score like the mpo and maybe this wouldn’t happen! Also CR what a pos pore sport! I don’t think any apology will ever make me root for you again! Ur a PROFESSIONAL!!!!
dude made some chicks laugh, he played bad, hes young, who cares
People get mad when Sportscenter makes a joke about disc golf when they have to cover a highlight for 10 seconds, but why would they take it seriously when the players don't even take it seriously? Horrendous look, Cole. Be better!
"Taking the sport seriously" coming from the guy who LITERALLY admitted to playing 0 practice rounds in the off season. Embarrassing display of being a complete hypocrite from Brodie
No other professional athlete has admitted to practicing 0 times in an off season then go on a podcast to cry about how its not fun anymore. Absolute disgusting level of hypocrisy by someone who has yet to prove ANYTHING in disc golf
Cole has at least won tournaments. The sport will be better off when brodie has inevitably moved on from it like he has everything else hes done. What a joke.
Calvin: “It sucks when you know you aren’t going to cash”
Brodie: “I know, I’ve done it every tournament this year” 🤣🤣 that got me
Completely agree with Brodie
If a pro isn't even taking it seriously, why will newcomers?
Antonio Brown walked off the field mid game
Well said y’all
Oregon again
I agree with Brodie.. we are so soft as a country. We’re always looking to make excuses instead of just trying to figure it out or trying to work harder to make things work.
Also people do things that cause conversations and are completely wrong and then just apologize likes it’s nothing. Either stand up for what your believe in or take responsibility for your actions or stay out of the public’s eye. Because not everyone’s going to always like what you do.
this is not disc golf problem its USA problem. failed society
I do agree this is a bad look. However, it does bring up a larger conversation around mental health that I think needs to be had. It's easy to see an external injury it's harder to tell when someone is depressed or something else is going on, which makes it easier to judge them.
is ZM hitting a bong when he turns off his cam LMAO gotta love it!
I'll take his place and play til my arm falls off 😁
Let's go Mavs!
I like Cole’s decision to retire, it’s no more disrespectful than the DGPT interrupting the flow of his round due to terrible planning and execution. Him exposing the fact that the way the dgpt runs pro events is a joke is commendable. Would the pga tour allow this? What would a pga player do if he was backed for 45 min in his round because of a delay caused by an lpga event he is not even in? Pga tour players would loose their minds collectively. The answer would be to only have one tournament on one course at a time not to try to run 2 tournaments simultaneously. They know the risk of cramming in too many players and 2 events and they are aware of the consequences, but don’t care that those consequences effect the players in a negative way. This is the dgpt fault 100% .
I disagree. It’s not disrespectful. You’re just looking for outrage. You can walk off the course any time you want.
Bro I get it yall want the sport to be official, but you can’t control how people react to things. “I’m mad he wasn’t as upset as I thought he should be” he didn’t handle this how other athletes would have handle this doesn’t sound fair. It sucks he laughed and filmed a video but bro is in his 20s.
Bad move, Cole.
I think the move made to leave the tournament early is very unprofessional and it's a bad look across discgolf.,especially for people on your card that see the video of you and your friends laughing and giggling about a tournament that everybody's trained to play in
First time ever watching these amazing athletes last week at the DDO championship. I watched Cole do that and didn’t really know what was going on at the time. Bad look tho. Thanks again @calvinheimburg for signing my disc
100 agree guys. There are thousands of guys grinding out there trying to break 1000, trying to get a tour card, trying to get into tournaments like this, and seeing a pro walk off a course and DNF just because they weren't playing well is a slap in the face to the guys who want to be there. Injury? fine Personal/Family emergency? fine, but just this sucks and deuces? That burns me up
Just another reason we need cuts
You are a professional. if you can not handle what it takes. Move over for someone who will. Respect the sport. You just spat on it.
suspend him. bottom line
Should have had Cole on the podcast to talk about it directly. That would have been the best move IMO.
Consider this: is mental health a legitimate “injury”? We decided that “if you break an ankle” it would be okay to DNF. So, some injuries are okay. Your brain is at least as essential as your ankle….
Not a Cole R. fan. I don’t hate him, I just think he’s very immature. Ever since the Jomez Practice round he was on, after he won Ledgestone. He’s the definition of entitled.
Wait we're not gonna address the fact that his card had been waiting 45 MINUTES?! Now there's something that doesn't happen in real professional sports.
