Dale Earnhardt Jr. Breaks with NASCAR Owners ... Approves NFL Protests
TMZ ^ | 9/25/2017 6:43 AM PDT

Posted on 09/25/2017 11:08:40 AM PDT by conservative98

Not all NASCAR people are siding with Trump -- with Dale Earnhardt Jr. throwing his support behind NFL protesters ... despite several NASCAR owners bashing them.

After POTUS said NFL owners should fire any "son of a bitch" who takes a knee, two of the most powerful men in NASCAR gave major stamps of approval.

Richard Petty said, "Anybody that don’t stand up for that ought to be out of the country. Period."

Team owner Richard Childress was asked what he would do if any of his staffers protested the anthem -- "Get you a ride on a Greyhound bus when the national anthem is over."

But Earnhardt -- hands down the most popular NASCAR driver of the last 10 years -- sees things differently ... and weighed in Monday morning with a quote from John F. Kennedy.

"All Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests," Dale Jr. tweeted.

"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."

Considering the number of sponsors he has on his clothes and car, that’s not the smartest maneuver.

Unless you’re white and supporting confederate statutes Dale?

How about conservatives at Berkeley?

No no - you only care about football players saying America is evil at football stadiums during the national anthem.

F u.

I know what he is saying...

however, really, to spit on our image of America?...

they want a protest?....why not quit football and devote their stinking little lives to working with the poor?...

Junior is just following his money lines...he never achieved much success on the track despite Nascar bending over backwards to give him a big edge, and now he has to depend on his billion dollar buddies in advertising so he has to be a good little boy....

Concussions did more damage than previously thought. Junior is really going out with a whimper instead of a bang.

First, Dale trying to sound all philosophical is humorous. Second, I doubt he would be saying this if not for the fact that he’s about to retire.

As other people have said, you want to protest this and that, that’s fine, but there are better times and places to do it than this. Attacking your core audience (and the people who spend money on you) who are overwhelming patriotic, is the very definition of idiocy.

I always rooted against him because Nascar gave him too many advantages...he was supposed to be the golden boy and he just was never up to it...

I always thought his "win" right after his father died was very hinky....

People who are concerned about these issues have all sorts of avenue for peaceful protest in our free society.

They do because men and women fought and died for that flag. To protect their First Amendment rights to peaceful protest.

The venue they have chosen for their protest is inappropriate. That is the nub of the matter.

Colin Kaepernick never even registered to vote. If he were really that concerned with how the police were treating black people you’d think he would have taken a greater interest in who became Mayor.
