What do you think of NASCAR’s suspension of Noah Gragson?
Absolutely undeserved..
When you’re a public figure, it’s best not to touch anything controversial, do not get involved in anything political or divisive.
Bad
Noah better start begging Dale Jr for a ride next year
And yet again, Josh Berry gets another opportunity in a ride, which will get him ready for the #4 Ford next year.
remember what happened last time NASCAR indefinitely suspended a driver? Well that was Cody Ware and we don’t talk about him, but the one before that? Kyle Larson, and look what happened to him.
Gragson liking that kind of meme was stupid I’m gonna be honest
NASCAR at times suck with there decisions. At least a temporary suspension would’ve sense
Absolutely ruined his career now
I’ll give Gragson’s season this: it managed to make Ty Dillon’s 2022 season look positive by comparison.
His owners made the right call as did NASCAR.
If I had a nickel for every time a driver of the 42 was suspended indefinitely for acting racist in some way, I would have 2 nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right?
Edit: joking aside, much like Larson, I’m hoping for the best that Gragson can learn from this and get a second chance, but in the end, there’s no place for racism in this world, plain and simple.
Man I didn’t make that connection until now that’s kinda funny
I’m sorry but suspending someone for liking a social media post you don’t like is the dumbest thing I have ever heard
Ikr
Regardless of how you feel on a personal level about issues or events, as a professional athlete that represents your team and brand, its on you to conduct yourself professionally. We saw a similar situation with Larson back when he was with CGR. Though not as egregious as Larson’s situation, I’m sure he has younger fans that may follow him, so he needs to be mindful of his own conduct while in the public eye.
Perfectly put
@theiceberg I appreciate Noah’s apology and understand NASCAR’S decision to indefinitely suspend him and why they chose this route. I don’t agree about the indefinite suspension. I think he should only be suspended for 1-2 races in my opinion. But ya’ll let me know what you think.
Another banger vid by the iceberg
I’d like to know what Gragson liked on social media. I saw he was suspended, but I need more information and context.
You really just compared this to Larson’s incident…
We better start checking the likes of everyother driver. Because I guarantee he isn’t the only one
He was suspended by the team not nascar
He was suspended for liking an “offensive meme” really first off idk what meme it was so yeah you should have said what it was but IT’S THE FIRST AMENDMENT IN THE CONSTITUTION SO IF IT WASN’T SOMETHING INVOLVING WW2 (and that guy or whatever or something just as bad) THAN I DON’T WANNA HEAR IT! 2023 I mean even opening doors for people is offensive I don’t get it also I don’t have twitter well I never use it so yeah.
Edit: I know what the meme is yeah I understand now, but I don’t think he should get fined but he should get the hate or he may have been drunk who knows anymore.
