NASCAR bans Confederate flag from its races and properties -

[Mikoyan]

The last time NASCAR was good Matt Kenneth won and that just led to NASCAR doing some bullshit playoff system. Brian became CEO and they switched from Winston to Nextel all in that same fucking year too.




the fact that the france family let driving turn into a nepotistic shitfest doesn't help. Tony Stewart (and others) have said the constant flags fuck with the driving enough to change the outcome of races. live sports in general are suffering, and have been for the last decade and a half when research showed its better to charge up the ass so few people come than to let it be something you would take the kids and ex-cons to. the same thing happened with amusement parks.

i't doesn't help that since big screen high definition tvs have made it so its better to watch everything at home, watching sports on a 13 inch CRT was bullshit.

Because my dad still watches, about once every other year I try to watch a NASCAR race. No. I can't. The constant flags, which are for sure designed to change the outcome of races (if for no other reason than to keep 'em close and have THAT THAR BIG WRECK) and the attempt to have a goddam playoff system in a fucking auto racing competition just... I can't.

Of course, this isn't the first time these federations tried to be "morally righteous" as we had various fast food brands yeeted from shirts too. Naturally brands like McDonald's and Coke found loop-holes.

Not to mention whatever the fuck the Mission Winnow scheme is all about in F1.

So, how the fuck is Nascar still alive? Racetracks have been ghost towns for years, they're stuck broadcasting on FS1 and they've gone out of their way to alienate anyone who might actually give a fraction of a fuck about their product.

Who keeps pumping money into this mess?

So, did the BLMmobile get a DNF?

Toyota had to leave F1 because they were not able to compete. that says alot about GM and Ford...

Toyota left the sport because they foolishly spent billions trying to do things their own way which merely resulted in them essentially spending a lot of money only to be out-smarted at every turn by teams that actually knew how to run an F1 team.
