If they had not disciplined their (de facto) employee I would have moved on to a company that is in touch with the real world.

Firing him is the easy way out for the employer but if he repeat offends they could potentially be liable for civil damages which would be extremely damaging to the brand.

Lesson learned the hard way, Joe.

why is BD catching so much of the hate on this? I would think that LaSportiva would be ...specially since it(did) sponsors both athletes. LS was even later on issuing a statement than BD was, but still no one really jumped all over them.

Agreed.  Most of the people questioning the story/defending Joe were in disbelief that he would act this way, because it conflicted with their image of him as a person, NOT because they thought it was acceptable to create a fake account to body shame women.  I wasn’t surprised at all when BD and LS dropped him (this is perfectly NORMAL when a sponsored athlete does something to hurt the brand), but I guess my opinion doesn’t matter as a white male colonialist.

What nations have you recently colonized? My HR team would love to see your CV or resume.

However I think Mr Kinder's sponsors should have NOT fired him.
They should have asked him to stop (which he did), they should have asked him to apologize (which he did), and they should have asked him to to go in the 5 most trafficked cliffs in USA to collect all toilet paper trashed around (and I mean really all), collect at least 100 kg  of human feces and, of course, make a video to have on-line.

Maybe you can suggest this to the BD sponsorship department and to Mr. Kinder. Never to late to show remorse.

Loose your xxx water and chapstick deal yet?

You do realize companies like BD are selling things and have to sponsor whoever helps them sell more of said things. Even if that means their next pro athlete is LadyLockoff. I hear they're making that deal as we speak.

Seriously though, get over it bud, times they are a changing. Yeah, it sucks, nobody cares about Mt. Woodson anymore, but you'll always have the "real climber" memories.

FIRST OF ALL BRAJ THE NUMBER ONE RULE OF WOODSON CLUB IS LOCALS ONLY.  SECOND RULE OF WOODSON CLUB IS DON'T LOOK ACROSS THE STREET AT THE OBVIOUS CLIMBS THAT HAVE BEEN ONLINE OVER A DECADE ANYWAY THIRD RULE IS WE GREW HERE YOU FLEW HERE FOURTH RULE IS CHEERS DMT

Is it significant that Joe K. named a route he established "Fat Camp"?
See rockandice.com/climbing-new…

It could be seen as a bit derogatory and show a long-held animus toward the mass-challenged.

On the other hand, I'd imagine weight among top level climbers is a constant concern.  Maybe Joe needed to lose a few pounds to make it up the Rifle climb, hard to say.

I would LOVE for Irene Yee, AKA LadyLockoff, to be the next athlete sponsored by Black Diamond, or any other big climbing company!


The mountains of salt from sssooooooooo many butthurt white males would be..... something else!  LOL!
