Been feeling like crap all weekend (still not 100% right now). It's 'cause of my allergies, I hate them so much. Hope I can stay up for The X Files this week.
Something has been bothering me as of recent-the ever present people who continue to stereotype/bash us NASCAR fans and/or the drivers, teams, and sanctioning body. I wonder what some of the drivers would think if these people walked up to them and called them-
A) a no-talent silver spooned sissy
B) stupid white-trash racist redneck
or C (and the worst to me) RETARD
It hurts. Not only does it re-enforce the same tired-old stereotypes, but it insults me, the female, anime-loving, non-racist/god-fearing (I'm Neopagan), Aspergian race fan. It also paints my drivers (all of them, but mostly David Ragan) as people who hate people 'not like them' (i.e. white southern males). MY BABY DAVID IS NOT LIKE THIS and neither is ANYONE ELSE IN THIS SPORT! ('cause it is a sport) I could go into this subject, but I need to organize the info/negative comments I've found, and there are a lot of them.
David Ragan update- Oh, boy, it's been up and down. Two weeks ago, I began to call him out for performing crappy in Cup after doing good in NW. I mean, Cup drivers should not be in NW, as I have stated previously. So what does baby go and do? Win at Bristol in the NW car! I couldn't find fault in it 'cause I love him so much. Guess my love for David baby is stronger than my anti-Cup drivers in NW stance!
That's all for now! I (again) need to get my info/comments ready for that article on NASCAR bashing.
