OK, I realize this is a month old but I didn't see anything posted here.

Gragson was suspended after he clicked "like" on the meme posted below. He didn't comment on it or anything, just clicked the "like" button (something I often do just to bookmark tweets that I might later return to).

He was forced to go to NASCAR's reeducation camp and prostrate himself on the alter of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to be allowed to race again.

I don’t get the meme. I don’t get Seinfeld. I don’t get the jock humor in most sports commercials. I *do* get that Biden and his regime are fraudulent, not serving at the will of the people.

(How’s that for an attempt at hijacking the thread?)

I don’t get the meme.

It's not a good one. There are much funnier George Floyd memes.

It's a take on The Little Mermaid where the lobster sings "Under the Sea" in a Jamaican/reggae patois.

Looks like the struggle session concept still works among the weak of mind. So now he'll be able to pontificate to the rest of us what abject racists we all are. Oh boy!

Thank you. I should have you around to explain other attempts at humor. Or, we could co-author a book: This Joke is Funny Because . . . .

Brian France turned Noosecar into a WOKE disaster.

It ain’t comin’ back while Brian is in charge.

I used to watch NASCAR, but no more. This is absurd. Orwell’s 1984.

What has happened to NASCAR has left me with one less sporting event to watch. About
the only sport left is curling. I imagine for now that is safe from an African invasion.

Woman’s Curling is fun to watch for some reason.

Nascar with higher morality is a laugh.

If you want to watch good un-woken racing, may I suggest Speedway Motorcycles. They have been described as “Quick-Fast” and do live up to the hype. Local, National or International, the rules are the same and biggest difference in the three is the quality of the riders.
In my humble opinion, some of the best racing anywhere.

The malignant cancer of that POS George Floyd seems to have survived his death. A death which made the world a better place without him in it.

For the first time I can remember, I have NOT attended or even watched a single NASCAR race this year. Between Bubba Smollett er Wallace and this crap, I don’t need another Woke sport.

Big Brother (NASCAR) is watching. They must’ve an awful lot of free time to check on Gragson’s “likes” on issues that have nothing to do with car racing. This is the first I heard about it.
