Alt-Right: WSL stokes nationalist fire!

A new day has dawned!

With Marine Le Pen, Pooty-Poots, Trump, etc. all on the march rabid nationalism is on the rise! And while this development may strike fear into globalist hearts it is exactly what the World Surf League Samsung BOOM! Tour has been missing don’t you think?

The League today threw gas on the fire with a provocative piece titled European Pride Soaring Thanks to Rookie Trio. And doesn’t that sentence feel like it came straight out of the National Socialist style guide?

It sure as hell does.

Brexiter Paul Evans writes:

In the mid 2000s a surge of European surf talent swept onto the elite Championship Tour (CT), threatening a major sea change in Tour demographics. As the 2009 Tour began, six European surfers from four different countries set off to conquer the seven seas, buoyed by a wave of optimism not seen since the days of the great navigators. But since that year of promise, it’s been been eight long seasons since a European rookie arrived on the men’s CT, pulled on a competition jersey and paddled out to do battle against the best of the best.

But finally, the wait is over.

This year, a potent triumvirate of European rookies — consisting of a Frenchman, Joan Duru; an Italian, Leonardo Fioravanti; and a Portuguese, Frederico Morais — will lead their continent’s professional surfing renaissance. All three will all look to bring old-continent flavors to what’s promising up to be a stacked new world order.

Each word drips with England-for-the-English condescension while also dividing the tour along national, or at least regional, lines which is going to make 2017 the best year yet. Where we used to cheer for individuals I feel we will now be cheering for country. Some of us may even cheer for race. And while vile, in theory, it will create a boisterous new atmosphere.

But do you think the WSL will continue to stoke this fire from the commentary booth throughout the year?

Will Ronnie B. slip into talk about deconstructing the administrative state while lobbing softball questions to Pottz?

Will Joe T. say, “…little jam into the lip and, if you look at the lines of work, I would break it up into three verticals or three buckets. The first is kind of national security and sovereignty. … The second line of work is what I refer to as economic nationalism…”

Will Pottz say, “Yah Ronnie… The divide is no longer between the left and right but between patriots and globalists.”

Stay tuned!

HeyWhen is beach Grit going to do a report on WSL financials? Surely someone knows someone? What is the most profitable stop on the tour, is the women’s tour a minus or a plus?

Well I reckon you’re on the money as far as them hyping the regional focus this year. They need to. The centralised endorsement model has failed, and more regional endorsement “partners” will be targeted by WSL offices. Indeed they have already started: friendly phone calls to various potential partners in Australia abound. “VIP pass to Snapper, sir? We’d love to have you involved!” Trouble is, many of these potential partners have been getting the cold shoulder for the past three years. They are gonna need some love — and some proof that the WSL cares about regional energies and rivalries. Cue heaps of commentary about said rivalries and how they are the “lifeblood” of the world tour.

I hate to say it , but you are right the USA/WSL will be seen as a closed ,fascist nationalistic business model , hell bent on furthering the Alt rights ideology , Breibart news will overpower Red Bull and become and new platform of narcissistic white might has to be right , JJF will lead this business model , against those still representing silly socialist values , which have now died a slow death everywhere , so that surfers from Europe will be shown to be first round losers as they cannot possibly have any political or sporting prowess , as does any left leaning loonie !!!!

We could have soccer hooligans, I’d say that Brit Pottz would lead the heaviest of firms, make the US Open from the 80s seem like a fucking tea party!

We need to encourage Pottz to put together a sorta sanctioned cage fight series where each football club hooligan contingent nominates their toughest hooligan to battle it out against one another. Let them get as shit faced drunk as they usually do. No colored fight trunks, just jeans and doc martins and endless beer and shitty whiskey. Three rounds bare knuckle hooligan brawls in a cage with Pottz ascending to a Dana White notoriety level front man spokesman status.. No mouth guards. Massive amounts of blood feud spillage. Then Pottz takes em all surfing on soft tops the next morning followed by a fucking tea party on the beach in tribute to the lost glory of the 80’s OP Pro

Beachgrit should interview Putin or better surfing with Vlad and do a Derek style documentary video.
