It doesn't help that there is a minority of NASCAR fans who are very progressive and Left who are constantly complaining about the rest of the fanbase and how something needs to be done about them.
Which is who NASCAR is really pandering too, hoping they will bring in their friends if they ban baddie flags.
Problem is those friends still think its for dumb rednecks, regardless of politics or class.
"greetings fellow car racing enthusiasts..."
Are they really fans, or is it just people that jump into online forums and say they're fans?
We've seen this before with video games,, comic books, D&D, etc. Progressives claim to be fans and put the industry on blast that they need to be more "inclusive" because they're leaving so much money on the table, but the supposed expanded audience they get from changing their core business model never materializes.
I don't think they were ever fans to begin with, just agent provocateurs that saw a segment of society immune to their nonsense and decided to worm their way in to "fix" it.
I've met actual real fans in that manner. Not online, real life people who can display their collection of memorabilia and the like as proof of a long history with it. Always the type that grew up watching it before they gained politics and then kept watching despite their ideology going wildly against the grain. You can find the same with a lot of Wrestling fans.
Again, its a minority amount but they do exist and likely helped NASCAR be more confident in this course working. But then it didn't because none of them could ever convince anyone that NASCAR wasn't bottom bin redneck shit.
So like so many things we have seen they are listening to a very loud minority instead of actual fans
ANd the bigger problem, as Hollywood/Big Vidya refuses to acknowledge, is that you can't have both markets. If you cater to the faggot/BLM market, you lose a lot of your established market.
And after that sacrifice, the faggot/BLM market never turns out in numbers to make up for it. They are just happy to see another beloved cultural icon/franchise/hobby destroyed since they hate the people that used to love them.
