BREAKING: NASCAR apologizes to 'LGBTQ+ community' after allowing Gov Abbott to wave green flag
Post Millennial ^ | 6/1/22 | Roberto Wakerell-Cruz

NASCAR apologized to the LGBTQ community on Wednesday, for so-caled "recent actions" that may not have "alligned" with the auto racing giant's "mission to be a welcoming sport for all."

"As we celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, we acknowledge that recent actions have not alligned with NASCAR's mission to be a welcoming sport for all," the statement said.

"We remain steadfast in our commitment to create a more inclusive environment – in our workplaces, at the race track & in the stands," the post concludes, along with along with a graphic featuring the so-called "progress" pride flag and a message wishing fans a happy pride month. That "progress" flag is representative of dozens of sexual orientations, gender identities, and racial identities where they link with sexual orientation or gender identity.

That sums it up, and explains the capitulation.

NASCAR doesn’t care about its fans. Its customers aren’t the fans. Its customers are the corporate giants who advertise on the cars and the TV broadcasts.

Perhaps - but the NASCAR fans are the customers of the corporate giants who pay for all those advertisements, so it will catch up to them one way or the other.

I live about 80 miles from Daytona and went to the 500 and 4th of July races, I loved Speedweeks in February, all that has gone now...NASCAR started their descent when Dale Sr. died and the France family started to be run by a spoil moron.

In case there was any question about the mental level of people who like to sit in the sun, damaging their hearing while watching cars go round and round and round.

NASCAR became too corporate for my taste well before they became woke. As hard as NASCAR tries, these communities these folks are pandering to already think NASCAR is white redneck MAGA world and could give a crap if you kiss their asses. Aint nothing going to change their minds... it will however eventually bankrupt NASCAR.

NASCAR has become so pussified, that the “leadership” will be wearing dresses.

The crazy thing about this is no one in the LGBTQ community watches NASCAR, if they do it’s such a small number that the ratings and ticket sales have no impact.

They are catering to a crowd that could care less about them versus their longtime devoted fans which is incredibly stupid.

You go woke you go broke.

So let me get this straight, it is somehow “welcoming to all” to apologize for the popularly elected governor being allowed at an event in his own state?

Doesn’t sound welcoming.

Who cares? I stopped watching and following NASCAR when they banned the Confederate Flag. Haven’t missed it.
