The intolerant Leftist hatred of most of American is why they can no longer win elections.
For every Republican who likes to puff out his chest with "the NFL is dying" - - NASCAR has been losing way more viewers. Even the Charlotte Observer realizes it.

No, I'll support what I believe in, and that isn't conservative causes or ideology.

Republicans love to give lip service to open free markets and then when those markets go against conservative interests, it's all this gnashing of teeth. You don't like the stuff happening in Hollywood, have Republicans make their own movies. You want John Schattner still being a pizza maker, go fund him a new pizza venture and only buy from him. You did it with news outlets - - now move onto these next ventures.

Pretty dang stupid reason to pull sponsorship.

Though this neener neener crap this thread has turned into is pretty dumb as well.

Sins of my father - LOL.

Now, that is getting out of hand!!
The guy wasn't even born then.


I'm sure he picked up a better sponsor.

I could see them pulling their sponsorship if the driver was actually the one that said it.

But to pull their sponsorship because of something the driver's father said, before he was born, is ridiculous.

The son or grandson, cannot remember, of one of the Munich terrorists is running for office in California, I wonder what the outcry would be if this same or any organization dropped him for what his father or grandfather did.
I thought that too Bolshevism or some kind of "reverse Nazism" where all whites are blood liable for the Nazi party and we must control every little thing white people particularly are allowed to say if not think and surrounded them with non-whites wherever they are, or why they're liable to all devolve into Nazis .

I think it is this essentially racist thinking behind PCism and mass immigration. Radical Jewish and other leftist seemed to be pushing this since the end of WWII. I'm not buying that corporations do these ridiculous PC things because of $$$ concerns. Corporations push such ridiculous things they'd have to be money losers if anything. I think corporations are just doing what the government and other globalist overlords are directing them to do. The government can't very well sanction a race car driver or in this case his relative directly for saying the word for black trash or whatever else with the 1st amendment in place but they can have corporations do it.

I'm still thinking it may be nothing but a convenient excuse to take their money elsewhere.

Perhaps we should ban Jared Kushner from the White House, since his father is a felon.
Or Barrack Obama because his dad was a dead beat cad lol.
