NASCAR has been a joke for decades. Kinda like n-ball or the NFL.

They can’t lose me as I quit watching years ago.

Now, Curtis Turner and Glenn ‘Fireball’ Roberts? Those were the days.

It’s a FLAG. WHAT THE HELL? The idiot kid who shot up the church said that the American flag made him sick, yet the left and the media are attacking the Confederate flag. I’m completely lost. This makes no good sense and simply proves that the left and the media will use ANY crisis to further their goals. This is revisionist history in action. I’m sick to my stomach today.

The sheeple really are useful idiots. We’ve seen all of this before with Stalinist purges and Nazi book burning’s. Pick a scapegoat; isolate it; and, make it the target of state-sanctioned hate and retaliation. In today’s incarnation, the scapegoats are Southern whites. Is anyone surprised? This is all orchestrated by the Obama administration and his media co-conspirators. It’s pure, unadulterated Saul Alinsky.

This is all a plan, a very well organized scheme to divert peoples attention.

What does the church massacre have to do with Confederate flags?

The killer’s “manifesto” was clear — he was radicalized by the egregious prosecution of George Zimmerman.

Must have got a call from Al Sharpon or some other race pimp. We’ll protest at all your TV races.

Who needs Al Sharpton when you have race baiters in Walmart, eBay, NASCAR, and sellouts like Haley?

Here ya go NASCAR fans.

Maybe the fans should pick up some of one of those rainbow flags and be proud. Maybe a Mexican flag to show solidarity.

Just wait, anyone wearing a confederate flag to a NASCAR sponsored events will be denied entry.

Do people boycott NASCAR? Seems like a perfect time. The push back has to begin somewhere.

WTG Nascar, totally piss off your entire customer base. Most, I’m sure, have Confederate flags flying at the races.

It is has been disheartening to watch racing fans just roll over whenever the France family pees on their backs and tells them it's raining. Maybe this time a few will figure out that it ain't rain, and what is more, NASCAR has become just another revenuer.

Or maybe they won't.

Haven’t cared about NASCAR since I was a kid in the 70s.

Sports in general after the mid 80s or so. Hated sports starting around 2000 to 2007 for the most part. That came from the misery called ETV Sports and having to come up with excuses and burning up vacation time to escape those wastes of money and airtime.

Do wannabe ESPN caliber work for peanut state pay on weekends while the high and mighty elite managers would go over to the freelance side and make the big bucks.

Drag Racing I can sort of tolerate, that is about it.

“while “freedom of expression is an inherent right of all citizens, we will continue to strive for an inclusive environment at our events.”

Except for that?!?

I hope you people are not still giving these people money.

NASCAR grew out of the booze runner era.

Why not ask for the repeal of the 18th ammendment too?

So many people are enslaved by booze and they could be freed without this scourge.

The 18th Amendment was repealed by the 21st.

Speeding kills thousands each year.

That’s real deaths today, tomorrow and years to come.

Why not be the example and disband NASCAR, which would no longer encourage dangerous behaviors.

See? It’s wrong and where does it end...

Today a flag, tomorrow the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor...

Then we ban this book, behead a few statues remove more words and symbols from oh, I don’t know, the supreme court...

My vote goes to banning:

The General Lee
Alabamas first album cover
And so forth...
