Who had this week's worst take?

[@josephmarcos5]

Megan for interrupting the real football god.

[@JoseAntonio-hm5sk]

Brendans sniff 💀💀

[@josephmarcos5]

Mustache

[@moneymase81]

Welty didn't ask the million dollar question.

[@japveersingh3258]

Welty

[@shwoopdewoop]

lmaoooo worst take to Megan for interrupting the sneaker cam???

[@jackdempsey920]

this the quickest I've ever seen Welty triggered lmao

[@johnappleseed7927]

Why would Nike pay someone more that doesn’t sell sneakers for them?? Common sense

[@thewalkingzombie5192]

low key she a ba for that

[@RicardoGarcia-li7bw]

I crying that the editor put RIP FDR when Dunne said “got to put that in the new deal” 😂😂

[@jonydiaz3856]

Very impressed of how organic this episode was, everyone was being themselves, it felt like they were off camera

[@diplomaticdisgusting965]

Worst take Welty for not taking off the tag of his shoes, he’s gonna try to sell them as dead stock later on 😂😂

[@Freeskiingisdabest]

Haha lost it when Welty got interrupted at the beginning 😅

[@FumeRaiderTV]

Dad for worst take saying he can't go against a Presto but went against the Australian model

[@nkjagshenry]

exactly what I thought lmao

[@briankeogh335]

Never forget

[@javierroman2501]

True true

[@hanspeter5781]

didnt he even said in the "australian epsiode" he cant skip these, befor he skipped em?

[@Samchabert]

We need a Benny Episode or anyone from the Griselda camp! Ive always thought how sick a Westside Gunn Episode would be

[@jacknordick5184]

Pleaseee

[@thebeardedjuan5484]

Westside Gunn and his Air Force 1... ooooowwiiieee

[@s1nari]

Tutututututuuuuuutuuu

I would kill for WSG FSR

FUNNIEST SNEAKER CAM MOMENT IN FSR HISTORY 1:40

[@matteopievani7912]

Dad every time : "I must AKS"

[@callumbishop1193]

I feel like the media and people just focus on Megan talking about just equal pay for the women in soccer and how its not feasible but her points on Nike and other brands not really having female signature sneakers is a good point that's a huge chunk of the market they arent tapping into

[@TheDanAge]

Women will gladly wear a male athlete's signature shoe most men would not buy a signature female athlete's shoe.... so yeah.

[@madterps]

Nope, you're wrong. They had Sheryl Swoopes signature shoes.

[@callumbishop1193]

@@TheDanAge yeah I get that but there are two genders buying shoes bro I get that women will wear men shoes but women would in most cases prefer to wear a womens shoe don't u think its dumb to not sell womens shoes just because women will wear men shoes when women definitely would buy them. And yeah men would most likely not buy them but they aren't the intended audience anyways and don't act like guys wouldn't wear a womens shoe if it was hyped and fire like the off white collabs the white Jordan 4's are a womens shoe that guys buy

[@samueljones3668]

@@callumbishop1193 Your point on the Off White 4 loses its point when 1. Its a Jordan signature sneaker, 2nd. designed by the GOAT Tinker, 3rd. Got its touch by Virgil. Well mostly the first, the Sneaker came in women sizing, okay, the sneaker was still popularized by men and The man himself. And what man is gonna buy an originally made FEMALE sneaker, not a collab not a rework of an existing silhouette, an original female athlete sneaker.

[@callumbishop1193]

@@samueljones3668 yeah I get that about the Jordan 4 but his point was most men wouldn't buy a womens shoe so I was giving an example where guys have I mean if u get a cool collaboration and some hype people will buy the shoe and I get that not many guys are gonna buy a womens signature sneaker but guys aren't the intended audience anyway its like saying there's no point in having womens shoes full stop because guys aren't gonna buy em they are for women so who cares

[@OffWallThe]

Broke my back a few weeks back, you guys have been keeping me entertained while off my feet (can still walk, just healing, thank god), chur for the good views bois, love from New Zealand

[@liccstarr9082]

When trinidad said the butchers coming i died

[@ohscarleon]

Nothing beats getting home on a thursday afternoon, getting high with the sunset and watching FSR.

[@keviningram6940]

Can’t lie... was kinda bummed seeing she was the guest at first.. I’m not a big woman’s soccer fan and always thought Meg was arrogant..BUT the show humanized her, made me more aware of her plight and made me less ignorant and perhaps lowkey fan. Thanks FSR .. y’all done it again. STAY GOLD

[@CoreyHague]

Good on you for admitting you were being closed minded, that’s legit growth.

[@randomperson4942]

You're probably just misogynistic tbh that's why you see her as arrogant despite the fact she is a 2x world champ. Everyone let's male athletes talk their shit but they hate to see a woman do it 🙄🙄🙄

[@lucasgosselin3292]

Lol you said she was arrogant and you were proved right in the beginning when she cut off Welty

[@CoreyHague]

@@randomperson4942 why are you being a gatekeeper? The dude said he learned that she wasn’t what he expected and rather than celebrate his growth you’re trying to hold him back in his old ignorant ways. Who benefits from that attitude? Why not just be happy that the dude is now a little bit more enlightened?

[@randomperson4942]

@@CoreyHague tbh you're right. My bad for not allowing someone to grow. Sneakers should unite us not divide us

[@leonbracewell]

THANK YOU FOR THE MIC LEVELS BEING LOWERED FOR TRINIDAD JAMES 🥰🥰🥰

[@henrypringle6047]

Worst take is Megan for not understanding how money works

[@TMMQB]

I see her in every Nike commercial.. she deserves way more than 80k a year

[@Khushalsoni09]

FAX

[@TheHilltopperNation]

Sponsored athletes are paid how much perceived value and marketing they give to the brand. Rapinoe probably deserves more but most women athletes do not deserve more than that

[@TMMQB]

@@TheHilltopperNation lol I didn’t say anything about any other women athlete but thanks

[@bigaluk1980]

80,000 USD????? My guy makes double that working in the Nike store #wtf

[@cisthej]

Brendan: Reebok Matt: Adidas Dad: Nike The Editor: Steve Madden

[@ciaranscamp8000]

There once was a wise man who told me “ buy the complex sneaker of the year book” so I did and you guys should too

[@DavidMossMGS]

3 for 2 sale at Amazon

[@christianbryant2254]

BEST take should be given to Dunn for saying “price of the brick going up”. 11/10

[@sebastianrios7735]

RIP FDR Worst take = Brendan having his girl take photos of him in Brooklyn and then saying her camera skills are lacking. Lmao.

[@marquitomerkkks2033]

Dopest show on KZbin. Only thing I wait on during the week, besides shoe drops and homework deadlines.

[@user-fz9ql2rl4m]

worst take to dad for not saying what was on his mind.

[@johnappleseed7927]

Why would Nike pay someone more that doesn’t sell sneakers for them?? Common sense

[@laurensmither9849]

Exactly right, no one buys women’s soccer shoes

[@Hustle-gu6hk]

Exactly. Liberal idiots. Why would nike pay someone who has no following or pull. Thats like giving a softball/wnba player a shoe. Ya who tf gonna buy that. Idiot liberals

[@dr.rainman2312]

Stupid feminist. Here we go again. U do as good as a job as a man. U get paid the same. Ur in womens soccer. No one watches it, no where nearly the same fanbase as mens. Thats like giving a wnba player 30 mil a year so they can get the same as lebron. But in reality if they did that the league and team would go belly up.

[@antonioprimocaceres7678]

That actually not true the Womens world cup actually nets alot of eyes and do great numbers. By yall logic the women should make more than the mens team who nobody watches. They dont. I mean the World Cup where USA women's team won and homegirl took off her jersey c'mon everyone watched that game.

[@johnappleseed7927]

Antonio Primo Caceres so your going to pay here the same amount as neymar? 🤦‍♂️ brainwashed

[@rickyhill2886]

This was the dumbest, yet most hilarious intro y'all done yet lol!

[@iDrummer14]

Bahahahhahaha shouts to the editor for the Dunne Dior sniff 😂😂😂😂

Welty calling sacais a “quarantine go to the store shoe.”

Bruh how long have I watched this show and I still have to get down to the intro every time

"Bill Bowerman didn't die for this" LMAO

Post quarantine Welty will just be built different like he seems like he is just in a better happier healthier mindset

Man the 'yeehaw' sound clip is so underrated , shit cracks me up every time

Rapinoe is pretty out of touch with consumers, what people will buy and care about

[@trane1994]

For real

[@danyaudet7444]

first thing that come in my mind reading the title is: WHY , just why lol?

[@marinosvidiakitis1106]

I’ve watched and Re-watched so much FSR lately that when I see someone rocking Reebok on the street I say, “Bok-Bok-Bok Bois” out loud. This is because of Brenden Dunne. Reebok, give the man the chunky bag and pull up with the truck!

Get up stand up, stand up for your right "Bob Marley "

[@rawsanity27]

A Megan Rapinoe PE Nike Blazer would be so fucking dope. I could only Imagine what it would look like.

[@Yourprimofredo]

Worst take? Megan for spitting on the American flag while playing for the national team

[@DavidMossMGS]

Amen

[@ok92computer]

Why she do that

[@Yourprimofredo]

@@ok92computer she spit and stepped on the flag

[@Yourprimofredo]

@@3dogmom141 you probably chose to ignore when stomped of the flag and her teammates had to pick it up

[@angelaasaka350]

She must have done all these in your dream, cos in the real world it never happened. She stepped on the flag because her team mate mistakenly dropped it behind her and it was quickly picked up by someone else. It's ok to not like someone, however you dont have to lie or fabricate stories

[@MrMediina1]

Nothing but a bunch of salty mfs in this comment section 😂

The boys are getting better with the intros

[@doylesky]

worst take goes to the comments section apparently being full of red pillers/MRA goofballs. i get not being a fan but miss me with all the "hur hur try playing with the men" foolishness when a good majority of you probably cant even hold down an intermural soccer championship w ur pub's team let alone go on a decent jog.

Sneaker should be fashioned and marketed around who buys and wears more sneakers.
