According to the Media and now, it seems, some “Freepers” NASCAR must be “racist.”

That’s all well and good.

But where was that conviction when it came to the Confederate Battle Flag?

The removal of the CBF (and the lies/misconceptions of what it stands for), removal of statues, and disrespecting Old Glory are all related. None should be viewed in isolation.

Worth repeating:
>>Get you a ride on a Greyhound bus when the national anthem is over,” team owner Richard Childress responded when asked what he would do if one of his employees protested during the anthem. “I told them anyone who works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people have gave their lives for it. This is America.”

NFL could have stopped this as quickly as Jerry Jones did in Dallas.

There aren’t a whole lot of black people on NASCAR teams so I doubt it was going to be an issue to begin with.

NASCAR again proved to be an insular oddity in American sports culture

Well, no, they've been stepping in it for so long and their attendance has suffered so badly that they're starting to see past your insular culture, lol.

People need to be reminded how Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shahid Khan has stood for our National Anthem. He is from Pakistan.

The NFL had to cut a number of players a few weeks ago to trim down to their working team. How about bringing back a few of them to replace the anti-America miscreants who are bleeding the NFL of cash.

Heard on the news this morning that your Stanley Cup winning Pittsburgh Penguins have announced that they will accept the invitation of the President to come to the White House to meet the President. Isn’t it funny that a league who has a majority of foreign born players will not disrespect the office of the President and I doubt there will be any knee bending on the ice this year during the National Anthem.

The King Richard Petty had some strong words on that as did some of the other big owners.

Now we have a singer who sang the Anthem and took a Knee. Time to make sure they don’t do it again.

Singer Rico Lavelle took a knee after singing the national anthem at Sunday’s Detroit Lions game.

I’m glad NASCAR is supporting the flag. I was a big NASCAR fan, but know, with Toyota in it, it is boring.
