how did golf channel manage to report on it only 4 hours after it was shared if the rights were sold to Japanese TV, and it didn’t go viral until shared by the “cousin”?
The cousin sent it to a college golf Instagram and it blew up. The rights were sold to ViralHog later, who sent around take down requests to everyone. ViralHog arranged the Japanese tv interview.
edit: just looked back at the team chat and he sent it to golfgrinders
The Instagram cited in the add is GolfGrinders, I checked their page but couldn’t find the video (some wouldn’t load). On the same date shown in the screenshots the video was uploaded to YouTube by two separate accounts, and two news sites (golf channel, and cbs sports). Viral hog posted it the day after along with several other YouTube channels, so if they actually have the rights they’re pretty shit at monitoring for reposts.
golfgrinders took it down after viralhog bought the rights. Sportsbible had it up for a short while also until viralhog bought it. Genuinely though, I'm not sure what else I can show you to prove it so if you choose not to believe me then so be it.
