Andrew Tate is catching heat once again after going off on skateboarders during a recent conversation where he explained why he would never be one himself.
According to Tate, skateboarders are broke, virgins, cannot get women, and spend their time watching porn.
He said those are the reasons he is not a skater, throwing the entire skateboarding community under the bus with a handful of insults.
The clip did not take long to spread across social media.
Skateboarders started reposting it, people clipped the funniest parts, and comment sections quickly filled up with arguments, jokes, and memes.
Some people laughed at how ridiculous the comments sounded while others fired right back at Tate.
The comments felt like another person talking about skateboarding without really understanding the culture.
While there are people from every walk of life who ride skateboards, many pointed out that skating has produced successful business owners, clothing brands, video creators, photographers, musicians, and professional athletes who have made millions doing what they love.
Others did not even bother arguing. They simply joked that Tate probably would not last a day trying to land tricks in the streets.
Several comments also pointed out that falling, getting back up, and learning tricks has nothing to do with someone's bank account or dating life.
Tate has built a reputation for making comments that get people talking. Love him or hate him, people usually end up sharing the clips everywhere.
That formula played out once again as the skateboarding community joined the conversation.
Some corporate skaters agreed with Tate and claimed skateboarding is not a good way to make money unless you reach the highest level.
Core heads answered by saying that most skateboarders are not riding because they expect to get rich. They skate because they enjoy it, hang out with friends, film clips, travel, and have fun.
The comments also ignored just how many skateboarders have built successful careers outside of contests.
Many have started their own companies, opened skate shops, launched clothing brands, worked behind the camera, or found careers through the connections they made while skating.
A lot of skateboarders also pointed out that every community has people who struggle financially and people who are doing very well.
Painting everyone with the same brush does not really match reality.
