ESPN is no better than MSNBC these days. No intellectual diversity at all. A straight Stalinist agenda.

The Dem/media hate Civil War memorials 0f any kind because they represent reconciliation.

The Dem/media depend upon their dupes being totally against any reconciliation with their ‘enemies’.
NO COMPROMISE!

Pound sand, Ryan McGee and ESPN. God bless America. And fly any legitimate American historical flag everywhere. I’ve been a stock car racing fan since birth. NASCAR is on the verge of losing me as I turn 70, with all of the virtue signalling crap. Leave the liberal foolishness outside the track. God bless America.

Idiot. The “stars and bars” is not the flag usually flown as the Confederate Flag. That is the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia.

They should fly this one.

Or maybe this one.

They probably will not know what they are.

Oh, I’m a good old Rebel soldier, now that’s just what I am;
For this “Fair Land of Freedom” I do not give a damn!
I’m glad I fit against it, I only wish we’d won,
And I don’t want no pardon for anything I done.

I hates the Constitution, this “Great Republic,” too!
I hates the Freedman’s Bureau and uniforms of blue!
I hates the nasty eagle with all its brags and fuss,
And the lying, thieving Yankees, I hates ‘em wuss and wuss!

I hates the Yankee nation and everything they do,
I hates the Declaration of Independence, too!
I hates the “Glorious Union” — ‘tis dripping with our blood,
And I hates their striped banner, and I fit it all I could.

I followed old Marse Robert for four years, near about,
Got wounded in three places, and starved at Point Lookout.
I cotched the “roomatism” a’campin’ in the snow,
But I killed a chance o’ Yankees, and I’d like to kill some mo’!

Three hundred thousand Yankees is stiff in Southern dust!
We got three hundred thousand before they conquered us.
They died of Southern fever and Southern steel and shot,
But I wish we’d got three million instead of what we got.

I can’t take up my musket and fight ‘em now no more,
But I ain’t a’gonna love ‘em, now that’s for sartain sure!
I do not want no pardon for what I was and am,
And I won’t be reconstructed, and I do not care a damn!

NASCAR’s multi-billion $ contract expires in 2024. The year that it will die. No fans, no TV, no sponsorships.

Know what’s also gone from NASCAR, the fans. <<

The way to bring it back is to make the “Rainbow Flag” the official flag of NASCAR......Transgendered Drivers get a 2 lap head start and ALL registered Democrats get free front row seating.....

Kids watch 10 minute videos on their phones for entertainment. Hard to see how hours long races have a future given that.

I saw that coming when Nikki Haley started this.

Gee, Ryan sounds like like more than a bit of a P*ssy.

A LOT more than a bit.

Every fan should show up in a Confederate T-shirt for every race... just to shove a middle finger in NASCAR’s virtue-signalling collective face.

But I’m sure the author will kneel in submission to the racist, terrorist banner of “black lies matter”.
