I find it funny that Childress and Petty are ones being quoted..I guess if there's 2 people who want to live in the past it would be those two guys.

When drivers were in their seats during anthems... well gently caress... try that again, when they didn't have much sponsorship... well poo poo again.

Peanut President posted:come on 1 more yankee defending the rebel flag and I can finish Again, not engaging in discussion. You don't know anything about me or what I believe. Where the gently caress did the confederate flag come into my response? I'll add this, though. I saw a truck with a confederate flag on the back of a truck when I pulled into a gas station tonight on the way home from work and said out loud to myself "what kind of gently caress drives around in this day and age with that on the back of his truck. What a douchebag." Think I'm a racist all you want, but that's not the way I was raised. Wanting to hear both sides of the argument doesn't make me an rear end in a top hat, so gently caress you.

I'm in 100 percent agreement with pnut on this. Also- if you are a person of color who is reading up on NASCAR and you see arguments like this, would you feel welcome in the NASCAR community? I don't believe so. To me, sports are inherently political and always have been. Look at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The Winter Games in Munich. The boycotts of the Moscow and Los Angeles Games. Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball, the treatment of Muhammed Ali, the Battle of the Sexes. poo poo, Pnut pointed out that Petty drove with a headrest with a peace sign on it during the Vietnam War. Sports are a microcosm of life at large and athletes have been using their platform to make statements since always. We should always use whatever platform we have to fight injustice. And we no longer have the luxury of simply being silent or wishing we could just watch sports as escapism. To me, the absolute worst part of Petty's and Childress's statements is it was widely reported on and non NASCAR fans immediately said "whatever, NASCAR fans are just racist rednecks, what do you expect?" No one really asked any NASCAR fans what they thought about this, presumably because we as fans are a monolith. The ownership and leadership of the sport needs to recognize this as the problem that it is. Junyer even came out and said that it pained him to see all of NASCAR painted with that brush and that was why he said what he did. No one says "football fans all think DV is OK" or "hockey fans are all racist" or "baseball fans are all racist" (although the soaring costs of the latter two do shut out POC in the US but that's a discussion for another thread). In conclusion, it's not bad to call someone out for having a bad opinion-although how you do that may affect whether you change any hearts or minds-even if it's not the person you call out, which I have heard described as "collateral education". Wasn't someone who protested at work for her "religious beliefs" recently lauded by the same people who are outraged by players taking a knee? We need to be honest with ourselves about what this is really about. It's not about our troops, our military, our flag or our anthem (all of which have a very complicated history which would require a number of posts to unpack). But it's sure a convenient narrative for people who are uncomfortable with confronting injustice, or even worse, don't think injustice exists.

All you need to know is that the loving anthem and patriotic bullshit with the NFL are paid advertisements for the military. It takes about 3 seconds of research. The whole pro military over common sense is loving stupid.

# ? Sep 30, 2017 15:10 |

The part of this that bugs me the most is the fact that the national anthem is a national anthem, not WWE entrance music for the military.

There are people itt who have seen me smash people supporting the Confederate flag elsewhere. The fun part is, if people have the freedom to take a knee during the anthem, they also have the freedom to fly that dumb flag. Don't like it? Change the loving laws and stop crying about it.

If you can't see the difference between the two...yeah I think the conversation is already over.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that flying the Confederate flag should be illegal, but rather that it is an abhorrent and hateful symbol that shouldn't be compared to, say, quietly kneeling to protest the fact that folks are being murdered by cops and no one gives a poo poo. To act like both sides are remotely comparable is to be exactly the problem.

If you think every argument someone puts forth is them trying to make an equivalency then the retard is you. What is wrong about what I said? The 1st Amendment allows me to kneel during the anthem, and it allows me to fly the rebel flag. Care to show me some case law where that is incorrect, or are you just going to characterize someone's statements in such a way to seem more intelligent than you are because you have literally no argument?
