The Fairfax District in Los Angeles was hit by protestors and looters this weekend, leaving shops like Flight Club and others damaged. Other properties, including the flagship GOLF store, selling Tyler, The Creator's clothing brand, was left in pretty bad shape, but that didn't stop the rapper from joining the thousands of protestors hitting the streets to let their voices be heard.
Tyler and Jasper took to the street to join the demonstrations taking place in Southern California. He also issued a statement on the damage done to his shop, noting that he could care less about the store when there are much more serious issues happening.
"BLACK FURY: keep your eyes wide and educate yourself," wrote the official Golf Wang account on Instagram. "And the store is fine, but even if it wasn't, this is bigger than getting some glass fixed and buffing spray paint off, understand what really needs to be fixed out here. Stay safe, love."
Tyler, The Creator's shop was one of many storefront locations in Los Angeles' Fairfax District to suffer damage as a result of the protests. Clearly, Tyler is more focused on the task at hand -- fixing racial inequality -- than some physical property.
Two Alligators Duel It Out On Golf Course: Watch The Insane Video
Watch two alligators battle it out on the golf course.
While many folks are holed up at home, following social distancing guidelines (and also because, a lot of things are straight up closed right now), it seems like wild animals have decided it’s their time to shine. We’ve seen a couple of stories in the news already about an abundance of animals hitting the streets during this time, and now alligators are joining the fun.
Perhaps because the golf course in at the Hilton Head Lakes in Hardeeville, South Carolina has been less busy than usual, a pair of dueling alligators decided to use the 18th hole as their ring for a bout of wrestling. Golfer Matthew Proffitt happened to capture it on camera, and the Golf Club later shared it to their Facebook page, where it’s since gone viral.
“They would lay still for a few minutes, with their jaws locked on each other, and then try to roll or shake,” Proffitt told local news Q13 Fox. Apparently, this went on for one or two hours. There’s no word as to who won the fight, or what happened to the other alligator.
As you can see in the clip below, one alligator appears to have the head of the other alligator all the way in his mouth, while he aggressively shakes the alligator. Each gator appears to be grunting and growling, too.
It’s quite the thing to behold. Watch the video below.

The match was played as teams with Woods and Manning taking on Mickelson and Brady. Woods and Manning emerged victorious.
“Phil said he was nervous, so imagine us,” Manning said afterward. “To go behind the ropes and get in these guys world and in the arena with them was really an incredible experience.
“I was not comfortable the whole time but raising $20 million as people are going through such tough times, it’s something I’ll always remember and cherish.”
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson contributed to the donations, offering up 100,000 meals if anyone hit it within 12 feet off the tee on the Par 3, 16th. Three golfers were able to put the ball close enough and he ending up donating 300,000 meals.
“It’s great, the fact that we all came together and we were able to raise $20 million for those that have been so severely affected,” Woods said, Gray. “This is our arena. This is what we do. We couldn’t imagine going out onto the field and doing what they do.”
The PGA Tour is scheduled to resume June 8 with the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas.

If you’re a golfer and like to rock dope shoes out on the course, then you’re in luck because Jordan Brand has you covered.

According to Sneaker News, these will be arriving on store shelves on Friday, February 28th for $200 USD. If you’re a golfer who needs something stylish for the course, these are an absolute must-cop. Let us know in the comments below what you think and whether or not you plan on copping.
