That’s the end of that sport, too. Cowardly dogs.

Well fans cannot attend races anyway. But, then they will bring back fans at a 1/4th or 1/2 capacity. NASCAR’s attendances has been dropping for years. This will hurt them son. Especially out in the infield where the RV’s usually have some of the flags up and waiving. There is nothing special about their races anymore. Mostly over hyped loud mouths. I used to be a big NASCAR fan growing up and into my middle age. But after the Allison’s died or retired, Dale Sr died, Neil Bonnett died, and the King retired, I started losing interest somewhat. Then this current bunch came along and I really started losing interest. I have not watched a race in 10 years or more.

Now NASCAR has bowed to the leftist elite. Another sporting venue circling the toilet.......

They are sneaking this in with the fans barred from attending races. Cowards.

I think to take it one step further all NASCAR events should allow free admission to BLM and ANTIFA members and maybe also card carrying COMMUNIST PARTY members. WOW stands full of scum bags demanding all race cars use cars with 4 cylinder engines and speed limits of 55 mph.

Imagine the surprise when a nascar race is open to the public and no one shows up.

They ought to try requiring all fans to kneel during the race—see how that goes. ;-)

The bastids already held a moment of silence. Kneeling will probably come next week.

If NASCAR were “welcoming and inclusive” they wouldn’t be banning a Southern flag. Only RACISTS see race in everything!!

It is my hope and prayer that every professional sports organization folds.

I guess the drivers and other pro athletes don’t know is, for most of the owners, owning a team is more of a hobby or status symbol. There are a few that make their money off the team, Jones, Mara’s, etc, but for the most part, these folks were billionaires before they got the team and they’ll be billionaires after.

Every owner can walk away this afternoon and their families will be financially set for generations to come. Not so for the players and drivers and support staff. For them, I could care less.

My concern is for the folks that work at the facilities, concessions, etc. The real workers that clean and keep the lights on. They’re screwed.

They will still fly the real Confederate flag with one lap to go.

I guess their ultimate goal is to turn NASCAR into the NBA.

NASCAR started this Confederate flag stuff years ago. They have been circling the toilet bowl making only left turds for years.

They just left Atlanta last weekend and had no fans there. They are getting used to having no fans show up.

Bull crap-— no one is going to be banned for wearing what they want. This is utterly stupid.

NASCAR would not exist were it not for Southern auto enthusiasts and, no matter how they try to “elite” it up— NASCAR owes their entire existence to Bootleggers and Moonshine runners.... that is to say Revenue Criminals.

This cannot stand a court challenge. People wear the American Flag are they going to ban that. So, where the Flag of the Confederacy and see how literate they aren’t. Since what they mean is the Battle Flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, which the KLAN of the 1920’s abused repeatedly and which true Southerners are disgusted by to this day-— a flag of Battle Heritage twisted by low rent crummy Indiana white trash (the second version of the Klan at the height of its membership—well over a million and HQ
‘d in Yankee Indiana.

I guess we should just scrub black history altogether. The Harlem Renaissance and all the talented artists like ZoraNeale Hurston should be forgotten.Imagine all the wonderful lives that were lost at the hands of the Democrat abortion plan and Margaret Sanger.

Outside of the South, Nascar has very few fans.

Nice going there.

Piss off the majority of your fan base.

So if a fan has a flag tattoo in his arm?

Cover it or can’t get in?

What if it is on his COVID mask?!?!?!?
