We Were Denied Media Access
Jefferson and Swiss from the Disc Go world address a contentious issue: their rejection letter from the DGPT. The pair explains that they were denied media access to events and recordings from last season's West of Europe tour, citing concerns about sincerity and potential misinterpretation. They reveal that their decision not to discuss this earlier was made to focus on the Season 2 opening without drawing attention away from it. In this video, Jefferson and Swiss delve into the reasons behind their rejection letter, addressing questions and comments from Reddit and Facebook. They also clarify their participation in the program, sharing details about their attendance at over 25 stops and 23 events during their two-year tenure with Disc Go. The pair aims to set the record straight and move forward, hoping to avoid repeating this issue in the future.
