I follow NASCAR. Nobody knows who the fu!k he is.

he doesn’t even run in the top two divisions. Just a butt hurt racist using this an excuse to find a way out because he can’t finance his ride anymore or he’s giving up because he hasn’t made any noise.

all of the drivers in the top division (the one that actually comes on tv) are supportive of banning the flag, and they are the ones who spearheaded the movement.

Id bet money they don't enforce this. If youve ever been to a nascar race then you know there's over 100k hillbillies out there with nothin but beer and confederate flags.

FBI investigates after noose found in garage of Bubba Wallace, Nascar's only black driver

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2...nascar-fbi-investigation-confederate-flag-ban

The FBI has launched an investigation after a noose was found in the team garage of Bubba Wallace, Nascar’s only black full-time driver. The noose was discovered at Alabama’s Talladega Superspeedway as Nascar prepared for a race, which was subsequently delayed by bad weather, on Sunday.

“Regardless of whether federal charges can be brought, this type of action has no place in our society,” Jay Town, the US attorney for Alabama’s southern district, said on Monday. He added that his office, along with the FBI and the justice department’s civil rights division, were involved in the investigation.

Wallace recently led a successful campaign to ban the Confederate flag, a symbol that for many is associated with slavery, from Nascar events. He also outfitted his car with the logo of Black Lives Matter at a race earlier this month. In a statement on Twitter, Wallace called Sunday’s incident a “despicable act of racism and hatred” that showed the fight against prejudice in the United States still has far to go.

I learned a long time ago to wait for confirmation and results, and NOT jump on the “emotional” bandwagon.
