Reap what you sow big time.
I was watching a NASCAR race when the president of NASCAR ordered the drivers to stop and shut off their engines right before the race was due to start. He then berated the drivers and fans as being a bunch of racists.
TV off. No NASCAR EVER AGAIN.
I was a nascar fan starting back in the Richard Petty days.
Dead to me now.
It was noosegate that sealed the deal for me.
Both my wife and I had been decades long NASCAR fans of/for various drivers, been to more races physically then we have fingers and toes, and have spent tens of thousands of dollars on a sport we both thoroughly enjoyed. Accordingly, we have not watched NASCAR since, and to be frank, after a week or two of ‘withdrawals,’ have not even remotely considered looking back. We will keep the memories we have and have moved on.
NASCAR failed miserably in realizing that the large portion of the fan base was them very same deplorables Hitlery, etc. have ridiculed, belittled, etc., etc. to their own slow death.....and neither my wife or I are giving one sh*t about its death. Again, we will keep the memories that we do have....
