There is this driver, Bubba Wallace, who happens to be black. He claims that he found a noose in his garage stall on Sunday.
On Sunday night, black NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace said he found a noose in his garage stall. Wallace had pressured NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag at events and placed a “Black Lives Matter” bumper sticker on his racecar. NASCAR did indeed ban the flag, sparking outrage and protests. NASCAR condemned the noose, and drivers expressed their support for Wallace.NASCAR, of course, is horrified.
NASCAR said in a statement on Sunday. “We have launched an immediate investigation, and will do everything we can to identify the person(s) responsible and eliminate them from the sport.”Funny thing, I can't find a picture of the noose. A Google Images search for "Bubba Wallace Noose" turns up blank. Lots of pictures of Bubba, no pictures of his noose. Not that I care, really. But, in this age of photos on the internet, you think that someone would have snapped a photo of the (alleged) noose.
NASCAR has backed themselves into a corner. Someone will be eliminated from the sport. It will be interesting to see whom that someone might be.
"Someone may be leaving the sport"...maybe the fans.
ReplyDeleteThat noose story seems fishy. After all the publicity around racially sensitive material lately, who would think it was a good idea? And with all the cameras around, who would think they could get away with it?
ReplyDeleteWas J. Smollet seen anywhere nearby? Asking for a friend.
ReplyDeleteI read on another blog that every garage door at Talledega has a 'noose' on it. You reach up, and pull on it to pull the garage door down. But having gone with the story, now how does NASCAR back out of it without looking very stupid.
ReplyDeleteHoax or mistake, it seems.

We have a new Jussie Smollett- his name is Bubba Wallace. And the usual suspects fell for it...

I think there's a lot of folks who don't know what a true hangman's noose looks like.
I suspect this was a rope braided back into itself to form a simple loop, to be used as a handle. Rope braiding/fidding is fast becoming a lost art.
