Censorship will drive away a large enough fraction of the fan base to kill the sport. Liberals are okay with that, since they could not control NASCAR, and all they care about is power.

“The suspect in the case, Dylann Roof, embraced Confederate symbols before the attack, posing with the rebel battle flag. “

He also spit on and burned the American flag, was on a prescription drug noted for the side effect of causing violent, aggressive outbursts, and had been arrested carrying meth and lsd. What a combination! Just normal stuff!

Well, what about we eliminate the white flag, France! How would you like them apples?

Huh?... What?... What's that, you say?... Oh, Brian France... Never mind.

this guy doesn't even know where nascar started

nascar got its start from good ol boys running moonshine thru the back woods being chased by the cops.

and there's no better show that captures that spirit then the Dukes of Hazzard

if you ban the confederate flag, you might as well just ban boobs, beef, and alcohol

When the clowns at NASCAR had BO’s “wife” call the start of the race a couple years ago at Homestead, I started to turn away.

I think I have watched one or two since then.

Done.

Nothing like biting the hand that birthed and fed you. Amazing how quickly Mr. France finds a symbol of state’s rights and lawful resistance offensive. Does he plan on getting a federal subsidy for his betrayal? A neighbor was a die hard Jeff Gordon supporter until he jumped on the bandwagon. Time will tell how much of a ripple effect this has on NASCAR but jumping to the side of liberals doesn’t seem like a good move. I guess he expects them to forego their social media, computer games and wine tasting to attend a future race, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

I can remember when the NASCAR campgrounds were a sea of ‘Stars and Bars’.

Noticed the crowds at a NASCAR race lately? Neither have I. A lot of empty seats. Get rid of the fans and the problem is solved.

Are you a sheep or are you an American. Will you let a few haters dictate what you do and when you can do it?
Every single person that walks through the gate at the next race should be holding a Confederate Flag or wearing something with it on it. Please don’t be sheep. Step up before it is too late....

Ban beer and fried chicken and they can just go ahead and turn the lights off now.

He needs to remember what happened to the Dixie Chicks. NASCAR and all other sports should stay away from politics. No matter what your stance, you alienate half your fan base. “Shut up and race, Bill!”

Wonderful idea, attack your base. Maybe the GOPe should try that. Oh wait, they are already doing that.

All NASCAR fans should boycott the next few big races.
