Ciccarelli I think

Who I think has never exactly been a superstar in the sport. Don't think he's ever won a race so I'm sure Nascar is shitting their britches over his departure

That guy isn't even a winner. There's no reason to fly the Confederate flag unless you agree with the C.S.A., which typically include the concepts of white supremacy and slavery.

This. As someone who's lived his entire life in the South, the glorification of praising not only the losing side, but literal traitors to the government, has always mystified me.

If that flag is all about slavery, then why is nobody doing anything against the slavery rings operating in places like Mexico, Africa, and most of the middle east to this very day? Ah, yes, because complaining about someone's flag won't result in hit squads coming after you, like interfering with the global slave trade would.
We can be upset and sympathetic towards the people having to deal with that, but we don't live there. We also have problems in our own country, including the racist mindsets of many of our citizens. Some of the meddling we have done hasn't been all that helpful quite frankly.

Reminds me of how they started taking off the flag on the roof of the General Lee (cool picture of the General Grant on pg 1 btw, never saw that one before!)

It's tough because on one hand you have what the flag stands for, on the other that car is iconic as-is. I wonder how it was received back when the Dukes of Hazzard was new? I was a little kid and all I remember were how cool the car jumps were.

yeah that rebelled against tyranny and taxation without representation, as opposed to just wanting slaves to keep being a thing they could own

You got representation on your own country, just not on mainland interests lol and you were taxed on the Empire resources you used in development of the colony. The only tyranny you got was from the rich bitches who baited you in to a war you wouldn't have done if you knew what was actually happening.

We live in a timeline where NASCAR is more progressive than the President/some states.

This is truly weird.

NASCAR has been trying to give its image a uplift for the past 20 years.

I'm legit curious how.

They have to know that it'll never cater to the high-brow, even medium-brow types. Keeping a stranglehold on the redneck market is not only smart, but basically it's only realistic option.

Banning the Confederate Flag is likely a win-win though. I'm sure they will lose some supporters, but not many, since where else are their fans going to turn? It's already the most redneck sport by a mile, and the least progressive.

They only lost because they didn't have as many troops. They had better generals.

if they were better generals they probably wouldnt have taken up arms with such a small number of traitorous shitheads

I say this as a direct descendant of one of those shitheads

My favorite quote about McClellan is from Edwin Stanton: "If he had a million men, he would swear the enemy has two million, and then he would sit down in the mud and yell for three."

Yeah they sure fought nobly to put that flag on the Indian lands and send the natives packing. Much better cause than slavery for sure.
