In short, another typical lib sportswriter. Big Media is full of them. Since I was a kid many moons ago, the sportswriting profession has been transformed from people who wrote about sports to wiseacres who write about liberal-agenda driven screeds with sports a secondary consideration.

The writer of this article fails to note how racing is one of the ways new discoveries are made concerning aerodynamics, suspension, and gasoline consumption. Idiot.
