  • Ha ha. At least Grupetto call themselves a club, not a 'collective' or a team when they're not.

    That Club FTR with their '2017 team roster'. lol.

    Also, why are all the micro-ccs 'supported' by someone? Does this mean they aren't getting enough to call the supporter a sponsor?

    Why is everyone so afraid of being a privateer anyway?

    Doesn't earn enough instagram likes and the trappings that come with them, i.e. free product

    There's a no self-respect

    I think you're right about the likes though. I suspect this:

    Frustrated with the traditional club model, we decided to forge our own path.

    Basically means: We went on our local club run and there weren't enough gramming opportunities. Also everyone was wearing mismatched, ill fitting kit - it was an aesthetic horror show! We're freelance graphic designers, we shouldn't have to put up with this!

    Is anyone actually getting that much free product stuff though?

    Why does everyone talk like a drug dealer these days?

    I suspect most of these people are easily bought and we're talking pretty small discounts.
