Man I hope this is the case. NASCAR sent a pretty clear message that they won't tolerate this, and Bubba doesn't have to go to the track with some closet racist shithead.
Yeah as annoying and emblematic of our times as a hoax or honest mistake would be, it's a good sight better than their being an actual noose hanging racist in the fold.
Somebody also should have been like “you know the way that rope is tied to make a handle probably isn’t the best optic”.
Hahaha the twitter brigade is still outraged that NASCAR would allow someone to put a loop in a rope.
I see NASCAR getting praised for their response but couldn’t somebody have gone down to the damn garage and checked it out? If it had been (or is) true it’s disgusting. But I don’t think jumping the gun on it was beneficial to anybody
Oh there’s a large contingent right now secretly upset that an actual hate crime didn’t occur. And unfortunately there are others who probably are racists that are just going to dig their heels in deeper now and call this a hoax. We are living in some [uck fay]ed up times.
Yup. There's an entire overreaction industry at work now that doesn't give a shit about Bubba Wallace.
Did anyone read that the noose had been found and honestly believe a hate crime had been committed, rather than another overreaction similar to the one in California?
