So I shouldn’t be expecting an email from disc golf deals USA?
😂
Probably not, but they’re praying for you.

I’m still waiting on those ‘Oh God!’ Stamped discs @broderic.
Good Lord? Really ... good for you for not changing your personality to appease someone!
It goes both ways. It is perfectly fine for the people to want Nate to “not use the lords name in vain”. It’s also perfectly fine for nate to not accept that
@@obhmusicIt’s perfectly fine for people that want that sure. To go ahead and ask that because of your own personal religion. Nahhh.
@@hiddenleaf414 he was paying nate to promote his stuff. Obviously he has the right to do that. And like I said, Nate had the right to decline.
@@obhmusic Really depends on the contact they had. Just because they pay Nate to promote his stuff doesn't mean they can treat individuals differently because of their lack of religious beliefs, or in this case lesser religious beliefs. Seems like they both saw it wasn't working out and both went their own ways.
@@ElectricLettuce94 they don’t treat anyone differently. They require everyone they sponsor to talk without swearing or at least using the lord’s name in vain.. perfectly fine, and it’s also perfectly fine for Nate to not agree to that
Thank you for having integrity. When my channel get's to the point where I'm talking to brands about potential paid content I'll remember this video when deciding whom to work with. Nothing turns me off a channel more than seeing the main host(s) turn into a shill for whoever pays them the most.
Goddamn!
Don't forget what jay and silent bob said about the Bible sirs!
As you continue to post daily I figured I’d speak for everyone in saying that I actually enjoy these shorter videos where you sorta just sit down and talk. Last thing we want is for you to get burnt out from daily uploads so don’t be discouraged from giving yourself some lighter days like these. Love your channel, keep it up!
No disc golf but the trust of you pouring your heart out to your subscribers makes you an even more likeable person
"ego was strongly involved" is a great explanation for many silly things we do in life lol. Appreciate the vid dude!
Oof, I too am “religious”, I promise that wasn’t offensive lol. If anything it’s the opposite 😂
Very relatable thought process. Thanks for the honesty dude!
I could easily be described as "deeply religious" myself, and I'll be the first to say that this situation sounds absurd.
Good lord!!! What a silly reason they cut the sponsorship
Congrats on the Wendy's sponsorship! I get lots of BK coupons so I partner with them.
It depends on the sponsors and sponsorships, and I think it's fine to seek it and earn it, but it's best when both parties agree on the parameters. Like you I created a disc golf channel primarily as a vlog, with an expanded range of content, and I've never sought sponsorship or affiliations. However, more recently (in the last year) I've agreed to have some companies send me their products for review, but I've not asked for a code or discount, though twice I've been given them. I've also made it clear to every one of them that I would be fair with my reviews. Ultimately you have to be 100% in control of your content, and people can agree to relationships with you based on who you are and what you do, or choose not to. But I think it's far better for you to just be who you are. Integrity does matter. Best of luck to you, Nate!
Looks like I've spent money with them before, but not any more. Thanks for the heads up. Overly religious people ruin everything. Your religion dictates how you should act, not how everyone else around you should.
Keep up the good work, Nate! You're killing it out here!
Came looking for a comment like this. 👍 I agree with you. It makes sense for a company to make boundaries for a sponsored video, but this one seems a little overbearing. If it were on the flip side, a lot of religions publicly say many offensive things without regard for who it hurts, but they'd fight for their freedom of speech till the end. I don't hate this company for their decision to ask Nate to change, but I'm not spending my money with them either
Thanks Nate! Not that I need to worry about "sponsoring"... Also, I love sitting on my kitchen island (and my dining room table!).
Love the real talk, Nate. I love how honest you are. Keep that chin up.
Damn that's rough, sorry to hear that Nate! That sucks that you lost your sponsorship but I'm glad you won't change yourself and your content! 10K subs on the way!
Make your own goals and a sponsor somewhere will fit into your goals and make a partnership with you. Keep your head high Nate!
Nate, I'd love to chat with you, I'm proud of the work you're doing, and know the grind of daily videos, I appreciate you're honesty in your videos, Any corporate sponsor would be lucky to have your referral and passion for the sport moving forward. You're blending Van Neistat and Casey Neistat bits, along with transparent a-roll takes, Keep going. Keep being honest, let's connect.
Appreciate the honest video and seems like you handled it in the best way possible. Keep making videos and we will keep watching! Good lord!
I don’t normally comment on anything, but I just gotta say, ur a great guy and I love your vids and that sneaky good dry humor, so good on you to stick to your guns and do what’s best for you and your videos!
Companies will come and go, but us loyal fans that watch every video are here to stay. We may never meet ya, but I’ll be damned if we won’t cheer you on every step of your way.
Something you don't see people talking about. Disc Companies can charge almost whatever they want for a disc. If a company marks up a disc 20 percent, and you give me a 10 percent discount for kickback, I'm still paying 10 percent more. I'd rather buy it second hand or a trusted company (that wouldn't sponsor people) because they are already selling at good prices.
So yeah I agree with you.
Damn dude, that's tough... Not like you said anything bad in any way either.
Keep your head up king.
Praise Jesus for MVP glow
As a Prodigy guy I'll admit that we are oddly obsessed 😂
Jeebus!
Bigger and better ahead!
Thank you. Best video ever.
They literally say "The good lord" in mass.
Casey Neistat vibe video. I dig it
Keep up the great work. 10k is on the way!!!
luv your decision!
There’s nothing wrong with cutting sponsorship. Maybe the Good Lord has better plans for you. Maybe infinite discs or whalesacs will call you up. But who knows? We support you. Keep being you and thank you for your amazing content.
Respect brother.
Imagine getting offended by someone saying good lord. That guy must be insufferable to be around.
Like walking on eggshells
They definitely wouldn’t want to play around with me and the boiis. “Holy shit” “goddamnit” “ahhh fack the Virgin Mary”
Good vid, imo 👍
just keep your head up man and keep doing you!
Thanks
Completely agree about "sponsorship" being overrated. The sponsor craze on socials is so annoying now. I was on a team and had to buy their discs at marked up prices to represent them. Huh? Dumped them, then i couldn't get them to drop me. What a racket! "Hey, I'm sponsored by these 27 companies. Use my 10% codes and you can maybe save the tax plus a tiny bit off shipping." Nah...
Biscuits, mostly curious about the best way to support you moving forward. Glad to know they suck, sorry, I meant they don’t align with blah blah blah… but seriously, where’s the best place to buy a Nate certified anything or toss a few bills to the cause that keeps bringing the content I need to watch?
Good lord that was fast
That company definitely lost my business if they were ever gonna get it.
Good lord? What 😂.
Just do what you do shit happen you got this
good lord
Why not try and get an OTB or disc unlimited sponsorship so you get a mixed bag?
I ordered a disc today before seeing this update. I used the code and it showed 10% off all the way through the checkout. After the order was finalized it showed that the code was inactivated. This will be my last order from them.
Good lord, they overreacted massively. Good on you for dropping them. Very silly to have rules like that
I will never buy a disc from that site.
Back when I was a kid and skateboarding was big my friend worked his BUTT off to get sponsored. He ended up getting addicted to the big boy drugs because of the pain of the injuries he suffered trying to get that. Can say, 100% confirmed sponsorship cause drug addictions.
Lol they lost so much doing that no matter what you say. What a bunch of doofuses.
Bummer 🤷♂️
Day 2 of asking for a cooking video
Great vid, just create y'alls own collective with the vids, there is enough of y'all....just go hard. Throw what you like then do your own tour discs of the molds and companies you like. Thanx for the heads up on the religious company, I'll be sure to not patronize them and tell everyone they're a religious cult 😎👍
Not being from the US, I really do not understand the connection between the disc golf scene, Christianity and CZcams.
Welp I’m done with disc golf deals.
Yikes😂
I’d consider myself a religious guy. “Good Lord” is in no way derogatory? In fact, the Lord is good! Perhaps, and this is no shade, the owner of said company should do some more Bible study. I’m guessing they took it as taking the Lords name in vain…common misconception and mistake made by very unstudied “Christian’s” hey it happens though. Nate I think you’re doing a bang up job. I wouldn’t expect to censor anyone I was willing to send product to in the first place (obviously they’ve seen your past videos…) sounds like you made a good decision.
Imagine religion dictating your life 🤣
Man. I feel like if you're that level of religious, you should take the time to make sure the people you're reaching out to are making the kind of squeaky-clean content you want to be associated with. It's a bummer to see it play out that way for both of you.
As for sponsorships, I think they need to either involve money or be for a brand you already love and promote. For example, I throw all Trilogy-I gravitated towards it naturally and didn't love the non-Trilogy molds I had any more than their comparable options-so they're the only company I'd really think about without being paid more than I could ever deserve to be for my game. But I already love and promote their discs, so it wouldn't be asking much of me to do something official.
So, they have a problem with Good Lord but don't give a crap about you saying Holy Cow. I am fine with both, but it shows you how one group is easily offended by a comment about their faith but completely oblivious to another faith. As I said, I am ok with whatever you say. You are not trying to be disrespectful. In fact, you use both these terms in a positive spin. Keep being you, that is the way we like you.
I went back and watched the other video. I won't be buying from that cimpany.
Dang. That's some crazy over zealous religion to try to change your vibes. I grew up in multiple churches, and 'good lord' was never considered anything bad at any of them. Most places didn't care if you dropped a hell or dammit. Not in front of the kids was the only unwritten rule. And that's kinda true without religion involvement.
You said “Good Lord” in a video!??
… Unsubscribed
Respect everyone's beliefs and all but some of this Old Testament bow before me and keep my name out of your mouth stuff is too much for me sometimes.
You don't need to partner with someone who is that controlling of your content.
Dont judge thy neighbor for we're all sinners..

I have so many issues with the company, I dont have any hard feelings towards them but they just dont seem as professional as they could be @mvpdiscsports #mvpdiscsports #mvpdiscs
