San Francisco's gleeful indignation over the Mission Playground permit fight — in which a small army of tech bros
booted a neighborhood pickup soccer game from a park on Valencia Street — has almost subsided. Under intense pressure from local activists, SF Rec & Park rescinded its "pay-to-play" policy; meanwhile, Dropbox tweeted a
mea culpa after a viral video of the incident showed one of the company's employees squabbling with Latino teenage soccer players.
"Who gives a shit...about the neighborhood?" the Dropbox guy famously whined. He'd inadvertently delivered a new tech bro credo.
And now he's being resurrected as
a Halloween costume in San Francisco, by an artist who's
giving the sexy Ebola nurse a run for her money.
Brandon Nickell, the engineer and experimental noise musician who conceived the idea, managed to capture the baby powder-gray coiffure, snug-fitting company logo T-shirt, and overlord-posturing of the now iconic soccer bro. He's even wielding a fake Rec & Park permit with what appears to be a grainy photo of Ed Lee.
Writers, start your think pieces.
