Scott Piercy gets ejected (NO POLITICS)


Recommended Posts

This is awful, why post anything ?

Bet he didn't look for this kind of response from his sponsors.

But, these social media sites have consequences.

One day these posters will figure it out.

Usually, costing them money and much more

that post was in terrible taste. He as a public figure will and should suffer dearly in the court of public opinion.

 

I am not going to kill him or say he is a terrible person. Good, even very good and meaningful people with no prejudices make very very bad judgement at times.

He IS a good dude. I doubt anybody here would like to be judged on their worst day , or biggest brain fart. Lots of glass homes with rocks coming out the front door

mods. Please close this before decent folks get banned. I posted this working off the assumption that if you are willing to let it be discussed At all ( assuming so since it’s here ) that all view points should be wide open and fair game. Right ? Yet I find it hard to express any of this and abide by the rules. Very close to entrapment.

 

to be clear for the flame throwers around. I said privately today here and now publicly that the joke/meme was very juvenile , and not in the least bit funny . And I respect his sponsors right to employ him at their own will. So he’s paying the price for the mistake. But what I do find hard to stomach is this nuclear reaction over something so silly , and so obviously a one off Occurrence . We are so quick to throw good people away . It’s nonsense. The majority of the outraged mass of folks aren’t in the affected party. But they sure are complaining about his apology. Their rear ends weren’t sufficiently kissed. It’s the real worry and the real sickness we need to get rid of. The herd mentality that has taken over. Think outside the box people.

Agreed. I won't say he is a terrible person, but certainly had terrible judgement/taste in this case. If you want to post off-color stuff, learn from the best and make a burner account. In this day and age all it takes is a single lapse in judgement to forever taint your "likeness" which is all sponsorship dollars are about

Completely agree with all of this.

Whatever happened to "sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me?" One might argue that those so offended by words alone have much more of an issue than those who say stupid things.

I've taught my children to simply laugh it off if anyone attempts to insult them; getting upset only serves to reinforce the behavior of the bad actor and it ruins your day. Nothing gets under the skin of a clown more than the object of their ire not reacting to their stupidity.

This. You don't 'accidently' share/like/retweet things - it's not like accidently mixing medication and driving home - and you sure don't accidently share two alt-right posts like that. He could have picked another topic, but there was no getting around that wrapper.

I recognize that I will get burned for this, but I don't see what the big deal is. He posted a mildly homophobic meme-joke. So. What.

 

I love humor in all its' forms. If someone is joking on someone else, and it is meant in the spirit of fun and not outright hatred, who cares???

 

If someone wants to make fun of me for all of my perceived community's flaws, go for it. Let's play and have fun!

 

If someone tells me they have never laughed at a very offensive joke on the golf course, they are lying. If anything, I have never laughed harder at the most absolutely horrible and disgusting jokes than while golfing.

 

I love homosexual jokes, racist jokes, sexist jokes, retarded jokes, political jokes, and all the others. I tell and listen to them all. God bless Don Rickles for the example he showed:

If we can't laugh at ourselves, we aren't human.

 

I do NOT want to lock this thread, or start a hate war. Love to all-

 

Funny is Funny.

Scott was up-and-coming right as I was flaming out on the hooters tour. He’s a good guy, his wife is a sweetheart and though they didn’t have kids then I hear they have a lovey family now.

this was monumentally stupid and in very poor taste. The monetary loss won’t change his life but the loss of his reputation as a good guy and good pro will follow him around for a long time.

too bad, but self imposed and I’m afraid this day in age, well deserved.

Cancel culture sucks. I will not be buying Titleist products from now on. I have no respect for companies that bow to the mob.

What does this mean? Is he a bad guy because of this post? It seems like a harmless joke to me. I have no doubt he meant no ill will

It means what are your social feeds like, that you are seeing those posts/topics and have them readily at hand and think it'd be cool to share them. I don't know what type of presence he has online, but did he really think no one would be offended and that some meme about taking it up the jacksie, delivered by that frog wasn't going to be seen as offensive? That's what I mean by his 'oops' apology.

If I was to grab a couple Tweets in my feed and share them, obviously as a Canadian it's largely moose, maple syrup, and Beachcomber memes, so I genuinely don't know how far you'd have to err, and in what direction, to see what he's seeing.

I am sure he has more money than he can spend and as an anonymous golfer to 99.9% of the population, he's going to be fine.

Not everyone is from Canada. People from Vegas, NV and Nevada period are into conspiracies and you probably would be too if you lived there. It was a bad joke that he shared but way too much is being made of it

The funniest thing about it is the pathetic "apology."

If you've decided to be a homophobic asshole, have the balls to own it - don't be a coward and back down when you get called out.

It looks silly on the surface, but you need to account for the symbolism of the otherwise stupid looking frog and "Qanon". If it was just the tasteless joke on its own then this may not have blown up, but referencing the frog and Qanon together, as stupid as it looks on the surface, is tantamount to referencing something like the KKK or worse. Either Scott was unaware of those connections and just thought it was a silly joke, or he was and didn't think anyone would notice.

Unfortunately the other question that sponsors are going to be asking is in what corners of the internet is he wandering around in that he came across the image? That is not something that just pops up out of the blue, it would have likely come from a not so savory source that as s sponsor, I would be very concerned that one of my people was following.
