NASCAR driver SUSPENDED indefinitely for LIKING George Floyd meme
Post Millennial ^ | 8/5/23 | Thomas Stevenson

NASCAR driver Noah Gragson has been suspended indefinitely by his team for liking a meme mocking George Floyd.

Gragson later said after the blowback from the incident, "I am disappointed in myself for my lack of attention and actions on social media."

The meme of Floyd is his face on the crab from Little Mermaid, with a caption saying, "Under da knee," connecting to the song, "Under the Sea."

Corporate America is more woke than another institution. Corporate America funds American sports.

Yeah, he made a mistake. He apologized. Never apologize for something so minor as liking a meme.

He should've responded with a meme.

NASCAR is taken over just like the nfl, mlb and so many others.

Add them to the boycott.

This is no different that the Lowe’s employee fired for stopping a major theft. Lowe’s backed down when they got heat and made her promise to quit talking about it. Nascar teams need to be taught a lesson.

“How pathetic and weak.”

Real sissy soy-boy crap, isn’t it? I’m sure his publicist wrote it for him and the team told him “read it OR ELSE you’re fired.”

If he did’t read it, he would be toxic and no other team would pick him up. They put him between a rock and a hard place.

C'mon FReepers, do better.

45. You should see Danica Patrick now. Confuse has a great photo of her.

She’s hotter than her car’s tailpipe after a long race.

” NASCAR used to be dominated by good ol’ boys.
Now NASCAR is a branch of NAMBLA.”

My uncle took me to see a Nascar Championship race when I was a kid back in 1963 at Bridgehampton , LI , NY . Got to see Richard Petty , Junior Johnson , Joe Weatherly , David Pearson and Fireball Roberts , amongst others . I even got Fireball Roberts’ autograph . Top prize was $ 1000 ! Those were the days my friend ...

I would like to know the name of the person who was “offended” that runs nascar.

Well, the meme isn’t a really good one, but it’s still a little bit funny. I’d have liked it too. Rather than apologize, he should have lawyered up immediately and sued for a wrongful dismissal lawsuit.

NASCAR lost its mojo with the garage door pulley incident - this finishes them off.
