Hot hot heat.
In a wild swirl of hot hot action exploding to life earlier last month and seemingly culminating in unprecedented fashion last week, Joel Tudor versus the World Surf League has burst back onto the scene. You will certainly recall the rumor suggesting that Santa Monica was considering chopping the Longboard World Tour from three events to one. Tudor, an elder statesman and current champion, became vocal and challenged the League to actually practice equality.
Senior Vice President of Tours and Somesuch Jessi Miley-Dyer responded with a masterpiece of gaslighting, Tudor published it, on his social media, then published more before being indefinitely suspended.
The first sitting champion to ever be cancelled in sporting history.
Well, an explosive new rumor has whispered that Tudor may have a legal option against the World Surf League as the purported reason for his beheading does not, necessarily, line up with the facts. A well-placed source has declared, “I think he may have a case here.”
Though there is no indication that he is pursuing anything at this time, Tudor’s Instagram has been scrubbed of offending posts.
How much embarrassment would it be for the League to have to admit fault in the way it handled the whole brouhaha?
That it, as a corporation, got its “feelings” hurt and acted emotionally weird?
David Lee Scales and I discussed on this week’s podcast and also discussed the importance of keeping a relationship sexy.
Important.
