World Surf League prize partnership with Apple Watches in sudden peril as President Biden refuses to veto potential ban on devices!

At least we'll have ladders.

Things were going brilliantly for our World Surf League. After securing a ladder partnership, it seemed as if everything had finally fallen into place, financially, and the long-promised arrival as equals with Federation Internationale de Football Association, National Basketball Association etc. within grasp.

Apple Watches sponsorship, much ballyhooed, of course a major coup. Rolled out by Chief of Sport Jessie Miley-Dyer in an inspirational Instagram message, the highly technical watches were set to revolutionize competitive professional surfing by showing how much time was left in the heat, who had priority and… well I suppose that was it but more than enough. And let us not focus on multiple-time world champion Carissa Moore’s refusing to wear the watch, it not being able to tell time thereby nearly causing lateness, generally not working, the union was a match made in heaven.

But might Joe Biden, who some think leads a Satanic cabal, be poised to destroy?

In recent, and stunning, news, the United States President has refused to veto an International Trade Commission ruling that could result in a ban on Apple Watch imports.

AliveCor, a wearable health gizmo, is claiming, with ITC support, that Apple robbed its electrocardiogram patents.

The whole business will head into the courts, without Biden standing in the way, and if Apple loses then the World Surf League will not longer be able to sell statistics on Italo Ferreira’s vitals to the highest bidder, cutting the surfer out of the profits along the way.

Nor will Zeke Lau get to make an interference then stare at his wrist.

I’d imagine the aforementioned Chief of Sport has another Instagram message ready to roll.

Fingers crossed.
