Caliber Statement
Hello folks, this is Paul Stiller from Caliber Disc Golf. Caliber will not be hosting any PDGA sanctioned tournaments in response to their unjust banning of Russian disc golfers in our events both here in the US and In Europe.
Caliber Disc Golf does not or will not ever discriminate against any people’s of the earth based on race, creed, color or place of origin. I think what the PDGA did was terribly disingenuous by jumping on the bandwagon of popularity concerning the geopolitical games now underway in Ukraine. Very few people understand the true scope of what has happened in the past build up to this event now on main stage and the PDGA should not have acted like they know either.
I care for all the people of the world and recognize the suffering that is going on in Ukraine, but punishing and alienating the people from Russia is wrong. What are we supposed to do when China pounces on Taiwan, are we supposed to hate those people also? Let’s not make the same mistake that happened in WW2 where we rounded up Japanese people, is this going to be next for our Russian/American people of our country? It’s sad what’s happening but let not make it worse and fall into the trap big media wants us to by hating one another or people of different origin.
I never have been nor ever ever will be someone’s pawn. I am a man of principal, and appealing to popularity is a logical fallacy trap I will not fall into.
Thank you for your understanding,
Paul Stiller
