It saddens me to say that I'm not surprised, at all by any of this, namely his actions, his responses and the responses of the sponsors/network. All of the responses from him are exactly what others have stated, a halfass attempt to sound sorry and make it seem like it wasn't as bad of an event as it was. All of the responses from sponsors and network are a dismal last ditch effort to save face, NOT actually do anything to prevent or make things better. I refer to it as a "we told you so policy" meaning they have policies in place to fall back on to say "we told you not to do that" and then ride that excuse wave until the waters calm down. Thankfully I don't carry or sell any of the products in my business that associate with these D**k cheese curds so I don't have to worry about throwing away inventory, because I have when things have happened in the past, I won't even give them away, they don't deserve the curtsy of making it into real sportsmen's hands.
What makes me feel bad is I refuse to purchase the cable add on to get the outdoor or sportsman channel because I can't stand the vast majority of their "shows" if you even want to call them that and not just extended commercials for some crappy product. I feel bad because of Randy's show and Steve's show, they need to make some income to at least help with covering costs and need to sell advertising spots and reach people with their message. I only problem with Randy's and Steve's shows is there they're not long enough and there's not enough of them!
Side note:
Randy don't feel the pressure to cut your youtube series or podcasts short, if it takes 4 hours to tell the story and convey the message then take 4 hours!
