What annoys me most about him is that he was on record pre-Floyd saying that race isn’t an issue or not something he thinks about much. He just saw the opportunity to jump on this. NASCAR also seems to be one of many groups that hates it’s core fanbase
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.
