When you’ve lost NASCAR because you’re too bigoted… wow

…and the walls came tumbling down.

mantan · March 31, 2015, 5:13pm

Well, there you have it.
I’m personally grateful to every Midwestern auto mechanic I’ve ever had closeted sex with…

Amazing, isn’t it? They’ve lost the sport of bubbas

So the first major professional sports league to publicly come out against this Law is NASCAR?

Shame on you MLB, NHL, NFL, NBA. Well done NASCAR.

If the Republican Party had any sense left they might take this as a sign that they’ve completely lost the plot and that it might be time to moderate their priorities.

Instead, Republicans will probably just accuse NASCAR of being part of the liberal-secularist-feminist-gay conspiracy to try to destroy ‘real’ America.

Ladies and Gentlemen, STOP YOUR ENGINES!

“NASCAR is disappointed by the recent legislation passed in Indiana. We will not embrace nor participate in exclusion or intolerance. We are committed to diversity and inclusion within our sport and therefore will continue to welcome all competitors and fans at our events in the state of Indiana and anywhere else we race but we’re still going to race there.”

To be fair, Jeff Gordon is the “Rainbow Warrior.”

Wait, what? The Irony Police just showed up at my house. Gotta go…

At least NASCAR hasn’t apparently fallen for the “this is the same law that Bill Clinton signed” crap.

tao · March 31, 2015, 5:26pm

Indiana, doing their best to assure many more Clinton laws will be passed. Ha.

dv01 · March 31, 2015, 5:26pm

The next race on the NASCAR schedule is the Duck Commander 500, so I don’t think NASCAR deserves a completely free pass.

johnscotus · March 31, 2015, 5:29pm

Well, knock ME over with a feather!
Good on ya, NASCAR

exspectator · March 31, 2015, 5:30pm

Nope, but at the moment we should not make perfection the enemy of the good.

antisachetdethe · March 31, 2015, 5:30pm

Unlike other Republicans, they are consistent in their dislike of all things Clinton.

dv01 · March 31, 2015, 5:33pm

Absolutely agree.

wiscojoe · March 31, 2015, 5:33pm

So what your saying is that NASCAR has more intelligence and awareness than David Brooks?

chelsea530 · March 31, 2015, 5:38pm

A car has more intelligence and awareness than Bobo.
