I am only saying that if people were horribly burned to death in this one race it says something about the crowd of people who stayed on to watch.

People are people. Some stayed because they were fascinated by the thought of crashes. Others stayed because they were there to watch the race.

Automobile racing is exciting because death is waiting around every turn. The drivers know this when they chose to get into the profession. These are brave men who risk their lives at every turn of the wheel. People go to races primary to watch brave men in action. We would dishonor their lives and their sport if every time a driver suffered a serious crash, they stopped the race. Crashes are part of the sport. If nobody risked death, nobody would ever go to the races.

“Automobile racing is exciting because death is waiting around every turn.”

No. That is not what makes automobile racing exciting. Apparently you are not a fan, which is ok.

But you don’t get it.
