This asshole is still around? Long-reigning US champ right now. Hopefully loses to LA Knight at Summerslam, though.

Yeah, WWE just needs to cut ties pronto. Although is it linked to that sports drink?

Don't care for a winner for that lawsuit. Logan Paul vs the IOC? š¤£š It's specifically the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee suing them. Prime is acting like they're a sponsor of the US teams when they're not.

I've got a nine year old nephew who absolutely loves Logan Paul. He even insists upon playing every WWE game I've got whenever he visits just because Logan Paul is in them. I asked him maybe half an hour ago, "Why is Logan Paul famous?" The kid's answer: "Because he's famous."

In places other than this, you get the Logan Paul hate youād assume, then one wrestling fan pops in with āHeās annoyingly good as a pro wrestlerā. Iām kind of irritated that no one seems to know Prime has an energy drink and a hydration drink, they arenāt the same thing and the store doesnāt pay you to take them, like all of Reddit seems to believe.

I asked him maybe half an hour ago, "Why is Logan Paul famous?" The kid's answer: "Because he's famous." Yeah the sdad but real answer to why he's able to get away with this stuff is that his fanbase is simply too young to even care. No kid is going to understand anythign about cryptocurrency or scams, and they're going to believe anything he says in his 'apologies' if they do even care to look at them. It's why Pewdiepie didn't even lose momentum after his n word controveries. If your fanbase is young, they're forgiving if they're even aware of what's happening, and the self-fulfilling prophecy of their fame is enough to keep that momentum going.

You market the hydradation drink for the kids,while being interchangeable with the Energy Drinks which you would be in legal hot water if you did but its much more addictive and unhealthy

I even told my aforementioned nephew, "You know he videotaped a dead body in Japan and put it on YouTube, right?" Their response was basically the Jeremy Clarkson "Oh no! Anyway..." gif.

The energy drink is in a small aluminum can and the hydration drink is in a larger, different shaped plastic bottle. One is clearly marked energy and one is marked hydration.

The energy drink is in a small aluminum can and the hydration drink is in a larger, different shaped plastic bottle. One is clearly marked energy and one is marked hydration. Both have all of the same color scheme ,logo ,pattern,font. A kid wont know a different shape= different drink,especially because we have thing like Sodas that come in both.Or a parent that doesnt know better. And I can say only for second hands but I have hear and read a lot of kids being caught drinking the energy drink, because the school or the kid didnt know better.Or people that assumed it was jsut a new packaging,again ,like a lot of Sodas have.

And I get it. At age nine you kind of have no concept of how horrible that actually is. A moral wrong to you at that age is not getting more ice cream or someone saying that your favorite Power Ranger is a loser.

And there was one Yellow Ranger that played the constantly naked parody of Shannon Elizabeth in Not Another Teen Movie, so let's not overlook her either.

A moral wrong to you at that age is not getting more ice cream or someone saying that your favorite Power Ranger is a loser. The criticism from this article I posted earlier in the thread sums it well and predates wrestling, Crypto or Prime: Paul constantly thanks his young fans, he releases videos of them going nuts for him, and he also actively sells them merch. Logan Paul profits off children, without any of the responsibility or moral ethics that come with it. What 20-something is buying vlogger merch? What 20-something shows up at someone's home, just to catch a glimpse of them? Paul knows his fans are young, he just wishes they were older. mashable.com/article/logan-paul-young-fans-demograpphic

Well Logan Paul just sent out one hell of a transphobic tweet and disabled replies since he was getting roasted so hard. Time to see how quickly WWE sprints away from this, because you have other performers calling him out for it as well.
