Piretti - Scumbag

[NeRa14]

 

Instagram story with the White Power symbol speaks for itself.

[MattUtah]

Whoever runs their Instagram is toast. Doesn’t Finau play one of their putters?

[NeRa14]

He posted some other ignorant thing earlier this week and apparently Finau doesn't follow him anymore.

[ProphetLogic]

This thread is definitely toast, but I might have to order a piretti now.

[MattM97]

This is what happens when you let personal views an opinion roll onto your company account. Should get a social media manager now.

[Old Tom Morris]

Dum dum. How did he think this would be received?

[MattM97]

Also called people snowflakes on his story and tried defending the post saying "a black guy made it so it can't be racist". So just digging that deeper hole.

[chipa]

The post is originally from a conservative black guy.

[thesamwise]

Good to know. One less putter maker to consider in the future. Carry on.

[MattM97]

Doesn't matter it's not something you post on your BUSINESS PAGE!!!

[chipa]

People can still do what they want they just have to pay a price. I'm kind of glad to see people put things on the line, not necessarily this particular issue, just because big business tries to sterilize everything, not because its the right thing to do, only because it affects their bottom line. How hollow.

[anythingfinite]

Noted. Not that I liked their putters anyway.

[MattM97]

Bets on if Finau parts ways with Piretti and what he goes to?

[MattUtah]

Ping.

 

And wow. That was actually posted by the president of the company. I had figured it was some kid running the social media. He doubled and tripled down too. What a way to have your company implode.

[JunkerJorge]

There's probably a more appropriate forum for woke scolding.

 

Edit: You posted this literally 10 minutes after joining the site?

He’s been on tilt the last few days as if no one can screenshot his vile racist beliefs on his handle or sliding into people’s DMs with stuff worse than what he has posted and deleted on the public feeds.

2020 has been crazy to say the least.

Enjoy being on the wrong side of history.

Last night a rioting mob in Madison, Wisconsin tore down the statute of Hans Christian Heg, an abolitionist who gave his life in the Civil War to help free the slaves. Is that the side of history you want to be on? Personally, I'm sick of the hatred and intolerance in this country. There was a time we could agree to disagree. Now it's ban this and cancel that because you said something I don't like.

 

[GolfChannel]

I think he just meant not appearing to be cool with racism.

[JunkerJorge]

I like to come here to look at cool putters. Surely there is somewhere else you can go on the interwebs to flex your moral superiority. I didn’t even vote for “you know who” but the cancel playbook is getting tired.

[GolfChannel]

I mean, given the amount of choices there are as gear head when it comes to putters, if it came down to a Betti or a Piretti I’d like to know that my hard earned money wasn’t funding a racists well being. Not sure how that’s “cancel” culture, that’s just being an informed shopper. Pretty simple to understand, but what do I know, putter is the only thing in my bag that hasn’t changed since 2007.

[bogeypro]

oh hell... triggered Karens on here now. Geez people... its a joke. And these two actively engaged in a hoax.

[oneaugusta]

Just say no to discussing politics here folks. Stick to the golf!

[Hit-em]

Not sure how this racist ?

If it was two white men that were in the picture it wouldn't get blip but the fact that's it's two black men who reported an event that turned out to be untrue then he gets blasted being a racist

I'm amazed how quickly that label gets thrown out there
