That could've been a much funnier bashing of disc golfers, they left out some key stereotypes I would've really liked to see thrown in that apology video.

However, I think it's great for disc golf.

After all, any publicity is good publicity, just ask Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, all of the Kardashians, Micheal Jackson, OJ or Bill Clinton.

I can't believe you guys are taking this so seriously, I guess some of you are very naive. I didn't see the show, only the "apology" and I found it amusing. I think it's great that they would make fun of our sport on TV. There was once a saying in the music business a long time that you knew you made it when Weird Al made a parody song based on your song. I'm not a "grow the sport" or get Disc Golf on TV advocate but I would say that any publicity is good publicity. If I still haven't convinced you then take this into consideration: Disc Golf be around long after this show will be and no one will remember this in due time.

Frisbee golfers also do many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many other things too. I'm sorry someone didn't talk to these two ahead of time (or had them watch a PDGA video or two) since these "many" other things-doers like to research what they act. ha!

Really? This is the group that you would like to see us lumped into? With the f'ing Kardashians?

One can understand this to be true and still think that them mocking our sport is kind of a dick move...

Yes, of all the people I listed, the Kardashians are definitely the marketing plan I would love to see disc golf follow. It was a tight race between them and OJ because of OJ's well documented sports career. After all, he ran for two thousand yards, but the Kardashians bringing Lamar Odom into the family really evened things up and then when that Humphries guy came next it was pretty much a slam dunk (pun fully intended). Kardashians all the way! Micheal and Bill never even had a chance.

I haven’t seen this show but if they made fun of disc golf, they probably make fun of a lot of things (as many comedians do). I think this video response is probably appropriate if some overly sensitive disc golfer actually contacted the show and complained.

I have to say that reading the comments on this thread from upset disc golfers is cracking me up.

So, following the Kardashian marketing plan, the first thing disc golf needs to do is make a sex tape.

Volunteers?

"Sometimes we play Frisbee in between golf shots when we're playing with a lot of people, ya know, to pass the time"....Bahahaha!

I know they were mocking us, but honestly that's what they do! Harmless exposure for sure...

I don't think they were mocking the sport since the sport of disc golf was never really described or even named on the show.

The mocking was directed at DGers who expected great publicity from a sitcom, didn't get it, and then vented their disappointment in the public square.

But even still, you're right, they shouldn't mock us.

We can do it just fine ourselves.
