I started my subscription for college wrestling. Then a few years ago they lost all the big name schools/tournaments. I still tune in for some of the BJJ shows, but at this point it’s probably not worth the money anymore.

Good call about the wrestling, I forget that they do other events.

I wouldn't touch Flo, too much unpleasantness around them (e.g., Hywel Teague and his Red Belt naughtiness, dodgy 'oops, you signed up for a year, what a shame' behaviour, not allowing anybody to even record their own matches, etc). But to each their own, and it is sadly the only way to see a lot of comps, so I can understand why people use it.

Time is an interesting thing, seems a lot of people have forgotten about the Hywel controversy. However, to be fair, I do believe he had good intentions (at least that’s what I want to believe).

I'd like to believe that too. But yeah, quite a few years down the line, he has lost the benefit of the doubt from me. For those not aware, Hywel is a prominent Flo employee, infamous for sodding off with several grand of crowdfunding, then failing to release even a rough cut of his proposed Red Belt documentary while deflecting (or outright ignoring) any questions.

But I'm also a hypocrite because I train BJJ and that history isn't very clean at all.

Yeah. that's a fair point. I just try to avoid the obvious arseholes (ranging from the nadir with Lloyd Irvin to the unpleasant but not rapey/abusive etc, like Gordon Ryan) and not support them financially.
