Un-fucking-believable! The single most 'Merican sport, with a hugely predominant 2A audience has been infected with the anti-gun hysteria of the current pResident?! WHAT THE FUCK?! I'm not a huge NASCAR fan, but I believe I may have to become one in order to prevent this from gaining a foothold.
ESPN said that sources confirmed to the outlet that two drivers have been advised by their PR people not to conduct interviews in the Texas Motor Speedway media center in order to avoid the NRA logo from appearing behind them.
The move is just the latest in media hysteria that has resulted from the NRA sponsoring Saturday night’s NASCAR Sprint Cup race, the NRA 500.
Earlier in the week Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy (D) urged Fox not to air the race in an attempt to demonize the NRA, which has been critical of some of the gun control measures that have cropped up in the wake of the Newtown massacre.
“This celebration of guns is inappropriate in the immediate wake of the Newtown massacre,” Murphy said in a statement. “But most importantly, broadcasting this race, which will highlight the NRA and its radical agenda during this time, sends a harmful signal to the families affected by gun violence, as well as the millions of Americans who support sensible gun control measures and enjoy your sports programming.”

I don't watch NASCAR because that round and round in a circle shit bores the fuck out of me, but I always figured NASCAR was 'merican as Mom and Apple Pie.
Guess I was wrong.
Oh yeah. Fuck the NRA anyways.
Conservative is now radical. I am depressed.
In the defense of NASCAR, from what I've read this is coming from the PR of two drivers only - not any of the other drivers, or NASCAR, or TMS. FOX didn't yield to pressure and NASCAR didn't drop the NRA's sponsorship. If we want to give someone the stinkeye I think it should be the two drivers - if anyone.
I've been looking everywhere for the names of the two drivers. Hope the other drivers give them mondo wedgies for having twatwaffles for PR agents.
I just wanted them to add 56 laps do it could be the NRA 556.
