Bonehead of the Week

Joke all you want if you're self-employed. Don't expect tolerance from those you're being paid to represent. Gays and minorities buy trucks too.
I get that Charlie. I wasnt saying he’s right , he like Kyle Larson made a stupid joke and got cault. Im just saying minorities and lbgtqabc+ can mock white men and straight people all the time. They dont get sent to DEI class people just laugh. It never bothers me when that happens, I just laugh it off. BTW why do gay men talk like that anyway ?

What you said was that he would be more popular. There wasn't any smiley face or sarcasm posted.
 
- Dye has shown he doesn't always make smart decisions based his past

- Nascar needs to be really careful when it comes to officiating things that happen outside the track/competition

- we should really keep bonehead to at track things

Are they representing businesses when they do so, businesses that think the comments will offend customers? If not, there's no one to force them to a class. They're not making a company look bad, just themselves.

The pubic outcry is usually triggered by the businesses separating themselves from the speaker, not by the words themselves. If Dye wasn't a spokesman, he wouldn't have been suspended, his words would have received minimal attention, and we wouldn't be discussing a random voice in the Internet.

The media is full of opinions from straight White people about LGBTQ and other races, and they're are expressed without personal repercussions. But those guys either have small audiences, don't have a sponsor to answer to, or have sponsors that aren't concerned the comments will lose market share.
 
IMO nascar needs to just stay out of this stuff. It should all be handled by the team and their sponsors. If need be Nascar can issue a statement saying they don't condone said behavior.

I can think of 2 instances of this in the past.

- Home Depot fined smoke once for something I belive involving a member of the media

- Mars pulled their sponsorship off the #18 for something Kyle did (can't remember that one) and Interstate Batteries picked up that race.
