So to recap: Bubba Wallace gave up on a race and lost a sponsor Kyle Larson slung the N word MTJ is slinging Covid-19 conspiracy theories To think that it's an election year; we haven't even scratched the surface of crazy yet.

Some dude in his 20's dropping n-bombs on video games all day every day for years finally gets caught on a stream, and is forced to face the consequences of his hateful actions. What a time to be alive.

Also seeing a variety of "Well NASCAR requires racism in order to make it to the series" comments. Ah yes, surely Credit One bank, Cessna and McDonald's will understand this is necessary.

Oh yeah I didn't mean to say he wasn't deserving of his spot, just that its great that a dude named Kyle Larson who NASCAR pointed to as a sign of diversity because he is only half of a white person said the N-word

I was willing to attribute the thing about his "favorite football team being the one that stands" to "look at this guy and his bad opinion", but this tears it. Colossal idiot.big nipples big life posted:He was probably still collecting a paycheck. Are the drivers getting some sort of show-up money for the major iRacing events? I can't believe all of them would sign on just for the hell of it.

They probably just get a monthly paycheck as part of their contract. If the mother fucker says "Hey N" during a radio check he uses the word on the regular.

Cygni posted:the replies are somehow worse than expected I saw someone defending it because Pewdiepie did it. Also, the more I think about it, the more I'm upset about everyone pulling down their copies of the stream. Partly because the reactions were so loving funny, partly because it sure feels like a lot of them were trying to sweep it under the rug.

Lots of those guys have sponsors too, even if it isn't them saying it it's someone blurting out the n word on their channel.
