NASCAR Releases Noose Photo

[confucius say]

1. No it does not admit they hadn't started the investigation. Just says that the words chosen to the public should have been alleged and not more finite terms they used.
2. NASCAR is just doing the classic, man I am glad that wasn't such and such. Happens at the end of every circumstance that was proven otherwise. Every single one.

I still see absolutely nothing wrong with how they handled this. Not a single thing. At least now, people are on notice on how NASCAR feels about this type of scenario. And it helped their image. Win, Win, and Win.

1. Go read their Sunday statement where they called the act heinous, disavowed it as having no place in nascar, and described it as an act of racism while also saying they are launching an investigation to find out who was responsible and "eliminate them from nascar." They made that statement with zero results from any investigation, assuming it was an act of racism by a member of nascar. That is horrible leadership.

2. If you see nothing wrong with it, then you are by definition in favor of issuing a definitive statement as to the motive behind an act, calling someone in your sport a racist, before knowing the facts. Nascar messed up and that is why it is apologizing.

Yep. And now I'm back to not watching anymore. It was fun for a minute. Sports are becoming difficult to enjoy.

Yeah making statements before you know facts especially in this charged environment only fans the hate flames. People are to quick to react now instead of getting answers that's a huge part of the problem.

Dude, they found a noose hanging in their only black drivers pit area the same week they have publicly spoken out against the Confederate flag in a sport where the confederate flag might as well be their unofficial fan logo.

Your comments assume nothing of the sort is going on in both Nascar and society. Again, for this noose to be there since last October, no one report it, and it shows up in the randomly assigned pit station is damn near astronomical.

Good for NASCAR. They have cemented their stance on racially charged situations inside their events. It goes further to strengthen their resolve when it comes to fans flying the racist flag. I do not fault them for coming out strong. I wish Mississippi legislature would too.

All the white drivers had a regular pull cord and Bubba had that. I'm sure Trump supporters think it's a pull cord, but that's a noose. Also, the Coronavirus is not a Democrat hoax. Separation of powers and executive oversight is a real thing. Obstruction of justice does exist. And climate change is real.

Dems - despite all this, your party leaders suck and are so far left normal Americans can't identify with them.

Ready. Set. Argue.

This is exactly why I have made 2 requests for the mods to delete my account. Sports have become too politicized, leading to sports message boards becoming nothing but political. If I wanted politics, I would join a political forum, not a sports forum.

I know there will be snowflake jokes, and no one is going to miss me - but I'm legit trying to break the addiction to all sports and I'm definitely pulling my donations this year. I'm not saying I agree with Hack, or disagree with him. I'm just saying I don't want to be a part of, or have to wade through the pissing matches that all of you are creating.

Once upon a time, there was a strict rule against this type of crap. The mods should have actually enforced it. But whatever. You guys have fun arguing in circles.

Yep, it has gotten pretty rough around here. It has been way worse than shotguns rants after a loss during any season ha. I would give anything to be waking up to one of his sports rants instead of all of this nonsense.

It appears as though we are just going in circles. Nobody here is willing to have open dialogue without throwing out insults and nobody here is going to be changing their opinion on things so it really is pointless. Mods should get back to getting politics off of the board.

I know there isn't much else to talk about right now but we could certainly find something to discuss that is related to State sports.
