Great job on a sad story (sad for the victim and his family). Also I am NOT kidding and wonder if anyone else got the Ricky W add for DD’s Felon? I swear on a stack of bibles I could not believe it. Is it the algorithms? I have watched a TON of disc golf content on YT and haven’t seen that add yet (the Slammer by DD ad I get all the time but never saw the Felon ad before just now.
@@vinceszymczak1497 😂 that’s funny! I’ve been getting the felon ad all week. And it’s only because I’ve been watching more DG content than normal lately.
Excellent coverage on this. No added opinion, not long ranting or assuming. Did a great job of presenting what little there was. And while this may not be a fluffy positive piece it is very interesting. Disregard the “I won’t subscribe unless you take this down” nonsense. Journalist, TH-camr, creator, whatever you define yourself as your choices are what brought us here. Keep doing what you do. Kudos
Why didn't he look into the case? He only read the victims family statements. There was opposing testimony. And a lot left out here that brings into understanding the sentence. Then basically labeled the guy a racist at the end. I say bad job covering Josh's story. Very one sided.
@@chesleyoverstreet498 I have to agree there is WAY more to the story than is being told here. You make him sound like a maniac that went after these guys (that, by the way, went to the liquor store 3 times in 1 day) seem like Disney princesses that were just out minding there own business doing nothing wrong. Love your channel but this is extremely 1 sided. Dude is one of the nicest guys on tour & got the tat when he was 17 & said it was dumb.
@@hoyle7780 He doesn't "make him sound like" anything. He presents the witnesses' statements without added commentary. How to judge him based on those statements, or those statements' credibility, is up to each viewer.
@@Christopher-Lenz stimulant medication. He used it not to throw his life away or numb pain but, focus more so on being a provider for his family. Or at least that seemed to be the logical reasoning behind this.
Please keep doing these disc golf storylines. They’re incredibly interesting and from years of experience I’ve never heard of this until now. No other channel is quite like this so never stop being awesome! 💪🏻
Just beat Drew Gibson at the St Paddy days event in Cali, which had me looking this up. I knew he had been in jail, but didn't know why, great video man!
I have a few Anthon destroyers in mint condition. Bought them right away when i heard the news of the hit n run. i think they were worth more than 400 bucks at the highest and now the asking price on ebay is over 200.
when my buddy and I first started disc golfing my buddy got an anton disc. We hadnt even started watching the pros yet. fell in love with the disc for its flight. Went to buy more online with antons name and found out his history....next week we decided to use it during a night time round and we havent seen it since lol
Wish I could comment with an image so there could be a version of the "progressively turning into a clown" meme for all the people on here saying "I'm sure there's more to the story"
You forgot to mention that the white pride thing went around the community for like a month before Innova or Anthon said anything about it. I think their default response was to just ignore it and hope it goes away.
I went to go grab the court record to see if there was anything else here, but unfortunately Cali charges a dollar per name search and a a bit more for document download. If someone would be willing to download those documents and put them somewhere accessible I think we'd all have a better idea of whether he intentionally killed someone for little to no reason or if he was instead criminally negligent with his RV.
It's been years since I've read through them. But absolutely there is a lot more to this story. Josh is not a murderous Nazi like he is being painted here. Weird how such a bad guy has never been in any trouble since right? At best this was a regurgitated hit piece. Dude could have paid and got those files before he misrepresented a man's life.
@@chesleyoverstreet498 I went back and read the few reddit threads in the discgolf sub on this topic, and no one has really said what this evidence is that shows that he didn't basically murder that guy. You'd imagine that at some point someone wouldn't have mentioned it, even if it's ignored by many. Maybe I wasn't careful enough with reading these 300+ comment threads though. And the white pride tat kind of speaks for itself. There's not really an excuse for that
That's exactly what I was thinking. It had to have been in some kind of legal gray area that shifted at least some of the responsibility off of him to get a sentence that low. I'd definitely like to know lol
exactly. or he had the best lawyer ever. charged with 2nd degree murder but was that what he was convicted of? perhaps he plead no contest to a lesser charge?
@derekeby8654 1 second ago Dude... A) you just made an unconfirmed statement with "would" B) those do not come with nearly the same connotations as white pride
I have found the disc golf community to be some of the most non-judgmental and accepting folks around, who try to keep things positive and moving forward. Your content, not so much. Why dredge this up?
If you held stuff against me from when I was 17, I'd be in trouble. Ridiculous. He did his time. Folsom State is no joke, so unless you've walked in his shoes, I'm not going to judge his past, other than I know doing time is life-changing, and I hope he wins again.
Too bad this happened, terrible for everyone involved. Did the sentence seem light, very much so, but did he do his time, yes. Hope he takes advantage of his freedom and does positive things for disc golf.
There has to be something more to the story. I thought the same thing as you when I first heard it. I was like "Damn, he must have got a real good lawyer"
He didn't commit murder. There was opposing testimony. He did do a hit and run though. There was a fight. He was drunk. We were only given one side of a tragic story.
@@devinlehman8798 what the exact wording of his charge is you'll have to look. It's been awhile since I've looked at this. But this dude left a lot out about this story. Josh didn't run a guy down in cold blood like this video makes it out. Some people say Josh wasn't even the one driving the RV when it fled out of the parking lot. Hell he was just in a fight and being chased. He did throw himself on the mercy of the court and did his time and never talked about it though. 🤔
@@chesleyoverstreet498 well I guess there's more to the story. Always thought the tattoo was fucked, but after hearing why he got it. I guess I get it but. Still, how can you not think it's racial?
I hadn't played much for quite a few years and tried a B-tier a month after getting a pacemaker back in 2014. I hadn't heard about Anthon's arrest until I was the last guy left in the putting contest and finally lost to him. Sure enough, there was an ankle monitor on him. He and Stevie Rico are my putting heroes. I've run into him a few times over the years and he seems like a decent enough guy, so I'm not gonna throw shade at him.
Video seems a bit biased against Anthon but I did want to say regardless of if he’s a racist murderer or not, his 2019 Tour series Destroyers are so money.
They really are. Hate to say it but it’s true. Beats the shitty Rick destroyers we were getting instead at that time. I like Rick a lot but those sucked. Way to domey and way to stable. And for me personally a little thick feeling on the edges
"Could have been a great disc golfer"? He was a great disc golfer, he just got older. I admit, I got clickbaited, you got me! Believe me, there are lots of disc golfers who have gone to prison!
ya honestly a top 20 disc golfer all time easy...top 5 putter and an argument to be made as the best putter ever when in his prime...he also threw/throws it 500+ft
I thought this story was absolutely disgusting. Josh is a great guy and to do this years after something that happened in the past to dig it back up is just dumb and an attempt to get people to watch your channel. We all know what happened with Josh. People make mistakes. He's a great golfer who made poor choices in the past. For you to just do a story like this now was very poor reporting on your end. You should be ashamed at yourself. Disc golf does not need negative reflections from you. Instead of finding the bad with the sport why don't you find the good and report on that instead. ✌️
@@sethkristopher2773 at the end of the 'witnesses' section of the vid he says 4 years prison followed by 3 years probation. I agree regardless though, seems a very light sentence....
@@zachalbin1328 okay yes that makes more sense thanks for helping me understand that. Still an absolutely pathetic sentence for taking someone's life intentionally.
You don't know any details of what happened. All you've heard is the victims kids telling their side. of course the victims kids are going to tell the best version of the story to make their dead father look like an angel. Im willing to bet he got four years for just flat out going to far. Other dude probably started the issue and Mr. Anthon ended it. It wasn't premeditated it was reactionary. he probably had no prior arrests and he turned himself in. that's why he got 4 years.
43 and been disc golfing since 1998 but only just started following the pro coverage about 3 years ago so this is the 1st I've heard of this guy. Sounds like he had a momentary lapse of reason costing someone their life. But our justice system determined his judgement and sentence and he served his time. Seems like he came out a better person and hopefully can continue to pursue his passion. I believe in 2nd chances. And would only judge him by how he conducts his life going forward and not for what he's done in the past. But prayers for the family and friends of the victim.
A lot of disc golfers have been trying to bury this guy since he got out. Looks like they succeeded back in 2021. I wish some one would post the court papers again online. I seen them a number of years ago.
@@pigs6486 I've really only been following the pro scene for about 2 years. I pretty much only know the big names of the current pros and people who have TH-cam channels. I didn't even know who Paige Pierce was until 2 years ago. I didn't follow any pro coverage until then. I just love to play.
Only 4 years for murdering someone? I know people who had 3 pain pills in their pocket with no prescription and was locked up for 5 years. Our justice system is fucked.
Josh Anthon is probably the best putter of all time..top 5 for sure. shame he never got a chip but four 2nd place finshes are really impressive too..going to jail during his prime probs didnt help. wish we knew the whole story...
Yeah it's too bad the MAN HE KILLED isn't around to say his side. No he was run over by a RV. Essentially a mini bus. And 3x over. Only 4 years? Disgusting.
@@pigs6486 Look, if an argument can get you riled up to the point where your intoxicated brain takes it to heart and you push your vehicle towards the walking people knowing full well your 2000 lbs metal object will severely and most likely kill someone. Then maybe you're just not fit to walk around society. Great disc golfer or not.
There was a reason he got a light sentence. And there was opposing testimony you left out. You only read the victims family statements. Yes he committed a hit and run. No he didn't commit murder. And by the way, he was really really good at disc golf. If he had his sh!t together and sponsor to really back him like the other top five guys he would have been a multiple time champion. One drunken night and your whole world changes.
Sounds like he pleaded no contest to a murder charge. Sounds like a murderer. Has a white power tattoo. Won't get it covered up. Sounds like a terrible racist. No matter how great he was, we should let him fade to obscurity and not venerate him.
That would only be true if he wasnt such a racist homophibic peice of shit lol nobody is going to sponser someone like that and you damn sure arent going to make any friends in the community he would have 100% been pushed out of the sport due to everyone hating him lol
Ya why did he leave Antons side of the story out Antons a good dude this guy's just trying to get money from youtube to make him look bad not a good video
Very one sided. No better than the crooked one sided media we are exposed to on the daily. Tell both sides of the story and then let the viewers decide.
I've played the same tournaments with Anton and put that on and never had any issues. I've played with the bunch of these pros from back in the day. h*** I remember when half of the MPO used to call all the FPO "Pro Hoes". Hahahahahah.
Leave the guys past alone! We all had hiccups in our past. The world could live without you pointing out dark area in people's lives. Sorry way to get attention for your channel!!
I guess I don't understand why white pride is considered racist shouldn't everybody be able to be proud of their heritage and their color?? I would feel different if it said white power
Holy shit! I’ve met Josh Anton he gave me some advice on how to throw And he seemed like a nice guy(2019) But this is cold blooded murder. If he ran over a guy with his motorhome intentionally he deserves life in prison or the death penalty the fact that he only got four years Is asinine!
Why bring up something from a decade a go? I mean do your thing, but it sure doesn't help grow the sport in a good light, don't get me wrong it was done well, I just wanna know how it helps disc golf? Btw no hate I'm genuinely curious
I have never seen him be a strain on the course in coverage. He was a really good player and I have never heard anything negative about him other than this. The court case is sketchy, it could have been an accident, its all the family's opinion. He didn't defend himself in court because the more you do the worse it gets.
What are you even saying? I'm pretty sure whatever those 3 people have done is nowhere close to intentionally killing another person for seemingly little to no reason
@@ronjones-6977 so you think a dude with a white pride tattoo who got into a heated argument with a group of black people while not having a BAC of above the legal limit just happened to non-intentionally hit some of those same people just because a plea deal reached between him and the state of CA that downgraded his charges from murder to hit and run charged him with hit and run? yeah, ok
Technically you could argue 3 years in jail is a ban from the tour and its way longer than Nikko’s punishment. Also the difference in their situations is that Nikko’s situation happened in a tournament where the PDGA has clear jurisdiction, while this guy’s situation happened outside of an event and I don’t believe the PDGA has any policies yet about policing a disc golfer off the course. Someone correct me if I’m wrong
This is just my opinion and I really don't care what anybody else thinks. The truth is we don't really know the whole story, yet we give strong opinions about things like how in the world he got just four years and 3 years probation, but I will tell you this: California - which is where this happened - is the biggest proponent of defunding the police in this country. Be glad it didn't happen in the past couple of years. He would have gotten six months and 30 days probation and let out for good behavior after 15 days. There sure is a lot of good going on in disc golf these days. Why dredge up something from nearly a decade ago when there are so many more positive things you could be writing about? I have enjoyed the past few postings, but this one just doesn't make me want to hit the subscribe button.
What was your point with this video?!. I've met josh Anthon. I'm from Stockton and was born in Sacramento where all this took place. You didn't get the whole story. Your disrespect of a disc golf legend without him to tell his side shows your a poor journalist. Trying to further your bullshit "tabloid gossip" channel by smearing Anthons' name is shamefull.
That guy smeared his own name by killing someone. You do the same, your name would be smeared. Would you go as far as killing someone over an argument?
Let’s just piece together what we can with internet search’s and tell a story.... I know that a lot of people will like this story,I’m not one of them. This doesn’t create anything positive and there’s many positive disc golf stories I will subscribe if you take the video down(this was supposed to be facetious ,but the average TH-cam person won’t get it) I figure I’ll add a couple questions to ask yourself after watching the video... 1. After watching the video are you left believing that a man was hit with an RV for no reason? It sounds like they barely talked and then Josh jumped in his RV and aimed at him 2. If his sentence was 4 years is it possible that it wasn’t just clearly a homocide? 3. The man killed went to the liquor store 3 times that day? 4. Are you familiar with the area this took place? 5 Who was the man killed? The whole thing is awful for everyone involved. I just think since you’re lacking a lot of details,the only thing it serves is for a few thousand you tubers to hate Josh without knowing all the details or the other 40 years of his life
There’s nothing to like about this story. I do think many people are interested to hear more details about the actions of a man who represented the biggest company in disc golf. Not all is positive in the world; people have a right to know
A great disc golfer that made a drunken mistake it seems. Since you are a channel of controversy it seems, please let’s see you cover trans people bext

And would only judge him by how he conducts his life going forward and not for what he's done in the past. But prayers for the family and friends of the victim.
A lot of disc golfers have been trying to bury this guy since he got out. Looks like they succeeded back in 2021. I wish some one would post the court papers again online. I seen them a number of years ago.
4 times he finished 2nd place at World's, including the famous playoff with Avery Jenkins... how the hell have you not heard of him?
@@pigs6486 I've really only been following the pro scene for about 2 years. I pretty much only know the big names of the current pros and people who have TH-cam channels. I didn't even know who Paige Pierce was until 2 years ago. I didn't follow any pro coverage until then. I just love to play.
@@mawage666 For sure, I take it you're not from California either.
I think you may have missed the “white pride” part
Pretty much sounds like Anton was covering for who was really driving.
Yep, from what I understand, his brother already had a record and would have served some serious time, so he took the fall.
4 years for murder is crazy
Didn't mention it as the Innova van that ran him over.
So he ran over the guy on person. Did he not kill him?
Yes!!! DG-TMZ.... hell yeah.
Only 4 years for murdering someone? I know people who had 3 pain pills in their pocket with no prescription and was locked up for 5 years. Our justice system is fucked.
What people don't understand is if you cover that tattoo up and he somehow ends up in lockup again they'll do some seriously bad things to him
I have his pro model destroyer and it has his name in red and it's dripping like blood drops 😬
“Caught an unfortunate case and did some time” yikes you kinda murdered someone in front of their young family members
Yeah, that's one side of the story. Good job 👍
Only 4 years for murdering someone????
I don't believe he was convicted of murder. Probably manslaughter of some degree. Tough to prove a murder case.
Good vid
Thanks for the history
A bunch of the disc golfers I known have gone to prison haha
Who goes to liquor three times in one day? Drug addicts, i guess.
Man you must be new to disc golf this is old af!
Anton is still awesome and better than a lot of pros on tour
Josh Anthon is probably the best putter of all time..top 5 for sure. shame he never got a chip but four 2nd place finshes are really impressive too..going to jail during his prime probs didnt help. wish we knew the whole story...
Yeah it's too bad the MAN HE KILLED isn't around to say his side. No he was run over by a RV. Essentially a mini bus. And 3x over. Only 4 years? Disgusting.
@@kungfui05 Why do you pretend to know the whole story? Your brain knows very little. Also he did his time. That's how it works.
@@pigs6486 Look, if an argument can get you riled up to the point where your intoxicated brain takes it to heart and you push your vehicle towards the walking people knowing full well your 2000 lbs metal object will severely and most likely kill someone. Then maybe you're just not fit to walk around society. Great disc golfer or not.
@@pigs6486 oh so you do know the whole story? plz tell pig brain?
@@pigs6486 yea you serve your time and now the dead person Is back alive woooo!
There was a reason he got a light sentence. And there was opposing testimony you left out. You only read the victims family statements. Yes he committed a hit and run. No he didn't commit murder. And by the way, he was really really good at disc golf. If he had his sh!t together and sponsor to really back him like the other top five guys he would have been a multiple time champion. One drunken night and your whole world changes.
Sounds like he pleaded no contest to a murder charge. Sounds like a murderer. Has a white power tattoo. Won't get it covered up. Sounds like a terrible racist. No matter how great he was, we should let him fade to obscurity and not venerate him.
Wasn’t he charged with 2nd degree murder?
That would only be true if he wasnt such a racist homophibic peice of shit lol nobody is going to sponser someone like that and you damn sure arent going to make any friends in the community he would have 100% been pushed out of the sport due to everyone hating him lol
@@ryancole4908 being charged is different than being convicted.
Ya why did he leave Antons side of the story out Antons a good dude this guy's just trying to get money from youtube to make him look bad not a good video
4 years for murder? what?
I've known him Since 1999 he's a good guy. Served his time, gotta tattoo...so what?
Seems like a shady character for sure
Very one sided. No better than the crooked one sided media we are exposed to on the daily. Tell both sides of the story and then let the viewers decide.
Awesome content
Great video
I'm into watching talent and he has it. Like it or not.
So... Anyone want to buy some Anthon shimmer star Destroyers?
Yes, I'll take all of them.
Your doing good work man.
I've played the same tournaments with Anton and put that on and never had any issues. I've played with the bunch of these pros from back in the day. h*** I remember when half of the MPO used to call all the FPO "Pro Hoes". Hahahahahah.
I'm this old😅😅
Leave the guys past alone! We all had hiccups in our past. The world could live without you pointing out dark area in people's lives. Sorry way to get attention for your channel!!
No surprise Innova sponsored him. Should've been put in jail for a lot longer.
One of the best in the game 💪
I guess I don't understand why white pride is considered racist shouldn't everybody be able to be proud of their heritage and their color?? I would feel different if it said white power
Because "white" isn't a heritage
Because white man bad. Havent you seen the news the straight white man is to blame for everything.
@@d3icid4l65 😂😂 no shit 😂
Its pretty cool that he sat in prison for a year and when he got out he got a win
Holy shit! I’ve met Josh Anton he gave me some advice on how to throw And he seemed like a nice guy(2019) But this is cold blooded murder. If he ran over a guy with his motorhome intentionally he deserves life in prison or the death penalty the fact that he only got four years Is asinine!
Why bring up something from a decade a go? I mean do your thing, but it sure doesn't help grow the sport in a good light, don't get me wrong it was done well, I just wanna know how it helps disc golf? Btw no hate I'm genuinely curious
He's a stain on disc golf. I'm glad he's no longer present in the touring scene. We have enough clown behavior to go around already
Only good boys aloud playing your sport
Lmao..disc golf is mostly goof balls in my experience
@@playgroundofsound7683 if a white supremacist and murderer is your definition of "good boy" then we got issues friends. also *allowed jfc
@@calvin4875 in the casual scene, sure, all sorts of people you'll find on the local course. But the pro scene needs to have higher expectations
I have never seen him be a strain on the course in coverage. He was a really good player and I have never heard anything negative about him other than this. The court case is sketchy, it could have been an accident, its all the family's opinion. He didn't defend himself in court because the more you do the worse it gets.
Nice click-bait... old news and I'm sure Josh is delighted you're cashing in on his past.
Pz.,
Yup the whole disc golf community is insane. (Terri,doss,elaine) top
What are you even saying? I'm pretty sure whatever those 3 people have done is nowhere close to intentionally killing another person for seemingly little to no reason
What's up with Terri, doss, Elaine? I have not heard this?????
@@mandobrownie "intentionally killing for no reason" what's the point of making shit up in your head? What is wrong with you?
@@mandobrownie "Intentionally?" The law didn't seem to think so.
@@ronjones-6977 so you think a dude with a white pride tattoo who got into a heated argument with a group of black people while not having a BAC of above the legal limit just happened to non-intentionally hit some of those same people just because a plea deal reached between him and the state of CA that downgraded his charges from murder to hit and run charged him with hit and run? yeah, ok
And Nikko gets banned for essentially being a big baby…
Technically you could argue 3 years in jail is a ban from the tour and its way longer than Nikko’s punishment. Also the difference in their situations is that Nikko’s situation happened in a tournament where the PDGA has clear jurisdiction, while this guy’s situation happened outside of an event and I don’t believe the PDGA has any policies yet about policing a disc golfer off the course. Someone correct me if I’m wrong
This is just my opinion and I really don't care what anybody else thinks. The truth is we don't really know the whole story, yet we give strong opinions about things like how in the world he got just four years and 3 years probation, but I will tell you this: California - which is where this happened - is the biggest proponent of defunding the police in this country. Be glad it didn't happen in the past couple of years. He would have gotten six months and 30 days probation and let out for good behavior after 15 days.
There sure is a lot of good going on in disc golf these days. Why dredge up something from nearly a decade ago when there are so many more positive things you could be writing about? I have enjoyed the past few postings, but this one just doesn't make me want to hit the subscribe button.
Cool bro see ya
There was a UFC fighter that had a brown pride tattoo across his chest the media for the most part ignored it .UFC never made him cover it up
funny how there isn't a white pride month when every other color does.
because it didn't say white pride. im sure if a white dude had white pride tatted on him it would be censored
@@aeezem quite the double standard isn’t it?
Screw Anthon
Screw u
What was your point with this video?!. I've met josh Anthon. I'm from Stockton and was born in Sacramento where all this took place. You didn't get the whole story. Your disrespect of a disc golf legend without him to tell his side shows your a poor journalist. Trying to further your bullshit "tabloid gossip" channel by smearing Anthons' name is shamefull.
That guy smeared his own name by killing someone. You do the same, your name would be smeared. Would you go as far as killing someone over an argument?
@@kungfui05 I guess it would depend on the argument.
Let’s just piece together what we can with internet search’s and tell a story....
I know that a lot of people will like this story,I’m not one of them.
This doesn’t create anything positive and there’s many positive disc golf stories
I will subscribe if you take the video down(this was supposed to be facetious ,but the average TH-cam person won’t get it)
I figure I’ll add a couple questions to ask yourself after watching the video...
1. After watching the video are you left believing that a man was hit with an RV for no reason? It sounds like they barely talked and then Josh jumped in his RV and aimed at him
2. If his sentence was 4 years is it possible that it wasn’t just clearly a homocide?
3. The man killed went to the liquor store 3 times that day?
4. Are you familiar with the area this took place?
5 Who was the man killed?
The whole thing is awful for everyone involved. I just think since you’re lacking a lot of details,the only thing it serves is for a few thousand you tubers to hate Josh without knowing all the details or the other 40 years of his life
There’s nothing to like about this story. I do think many people are interested to hear more details about the actions of a man who represented the biggest company in disc golf.
Not all is positive in the world; people have a right to know
Old news……
What’s the point of this documentary.
Drag a dude after he has already done his time.
A great disc golfer that made a drunken mistake it seems. Since you are a channel of controversy it seems, please let’s see you cover trans people bext
An incredible player who is as real as all of us, but lives under the microscope of celebrity. As is often the case, we look for examples of celebrities who have messed up more than we have. It’s the human condition that makes TV news a wildly successful commodity.
Way to bring up old news. Chasing followers. Bad story
Had a couple of his destroyers
