NASCAR isnt a sport


It is to Republicans and rednecks

NASCAR is a rich people sport

You've obviously never rented a box


Rednecks can be rich.

I mean you're not denying it lol

You don't stack enough paper to enjoy NASCAR


i go to basketball and baseball games every season. I live in Massachussets i don't think we have a fucking nascar track.

lmao bruh just admit you don't make real bank

If you were earning any decent chunk of money, traveling outside your state wouldn't be an issue hahah


I'm going to Japan in may.

Because you're making it up, that's why.

Outside of a few Trump supporters on Twitter, there was no backlash at all against Curry or LeBron.


Trump himself went out of Curry for saying he wasn't sure if he wanted to go. Not even saying he didn't want to go.

"Keep politics out of sports"

Standing for the anthem, as the text on the car is promoting, is patriotic tradition. It isn't politically divisive.

But kneeling in protest and making a scene is politically divisive.

lol "political tradition". Better tell that to the millions of people who use the anthem to get nacho's

People got pissed off at Curry and Lebron for speaking out about Trump and this was before the current season even started.

Coaches, Kerr, Popp, and Van Gundy have all spoken out against him too though they didn't get much blowback i wonder why *thinking face*

If you think the anthem and the concept of being made to stand for it isn't divisive, that's on you. It reeks of white privegele. More than enough people of color have an issue with it.

Sure but "Keep politics out of sports" is referring to political activism. That's what people mean.

This is very obviously political activism

Standing for the anthem is not controversial activism.

You can't just reverse things on a whim. One thing is normal, expected, and accepted (standing for the anthem), the other is not (kneeling in protest).

If you don't think the American military isn't a divisive political issue, you simply haven't talked to many minorities, but that's not surprising

I've probably just talked to ones who are reasonable and don't have victim complexes.

Last I checked, the military keeps minorities in the U.S. safe also. If honoring them is a racial issue for you, that's pretty much your imaginary problem.

So now you're admitting Kapernick's kneeling is a criticism of the military?

Saying that you think the military budget is way too high is a criticism of the military.

Calling our men and women in uniform garbage human beings like Kaepernick did is not a criticism.

We're talking about political protests in this topic. List examples where people got upset about a player's protests off the field. And try to keep this limited to this millennium for legitimate comparison purposes.

Not really sure the TC's point is, since this was done specifically in response to the NFL kneelers by folks who found their tantrum disrespectful. Here is more about this specific car:

https://sports.yahoo.com/pleasestand-super-bowl-ad-turned-truck-series-driver-puts-hashtag-truck-150130475.html

Sounds like he made a political move. It's not new to NASCAR though. Republican political candidates regularly pop up on a few cars during elections. A Blue Lives Matter truck showed up last year. The NRA has sponsored races and cars. They are always promoting the military. Etc. The rule of removing politics from sports because muh escapism apparently does not apply to NASCAR.
