Not many Americans know this fact...but, Motorsports is the most watched sporting event in the USA. NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Indy Motorsports, Motorcycles, Midget racers, Go Cart racing, Sport car racing, Grand Prix racing, Monster trucks, etc., goes on, unabated all over the USA on Friday/Saturday nights and Sunday mornings and afternoons.
Millions of auto and motorcycle racing fans turnout in massive numbers to view and enjoy these events...that are as American as apple pie is. The NFL and NBA are dwarfed by these attendee numbers of loyal, patriotic Americans of all stripes.
The only sport that comes close to auto racing, etc, is college & high school football combined. So...NASCAR, etc., a major hats off to all you vehicle racing fans that are loyal to your flag, your national anthem, and your great country!!! And shame on the NFL, the NBA, the MLB players, players and fans. You twisted folks should hang your heads in shame!!!
POTUS, Donald J. Trump is right on the money.
People want to see the sport whatever it is. They don’t want any political opinions. Performance counts 100%.
And it doesn’t cost $500 a pop so regular people can afford to go.
NASCAR owners issued a blanket statement there will be no taking of knees. The King Richard Petty had some strong words on that as did some of the other big owners.
Now we have a singer who sang the Anthem and took a Knee. Time to make sure they don’t do it again.
Singer Rico Lavelle took a knee after singing the national anthem at Sunday’s Detroit Lions game.

I live north of Baltimore. Almost everyone worships at the altar of St. Raven.
I’ve never been a football fan. It’s an OK game but it doesn’t really interest me. Plus, I like to go against the flow. A few years ago, they had a tailgate party at work where we were told to wear our favorite team jersey. I wore a NASCAR shirt.
Once when the Raven’s were in a playoff game, I went to a large store. I thought they closed and forgot to lock the door. I was the only person in the store.
I support NASCAR team owners for taking a stand for America. If they didn’t, the drivers would. A kneeling driver wouldn’t make it to lap 5 before being spun into the wall at least once.
