Joe Gibbs to 'seek out' (read that create)'black youth' drivers.Of course,Joe says he will consider other minorities too.Why,how open of him!To consider those 'other minorities'!
The 'improved diversity'of NASCAR could be a positive thing if done in a sincere and honest manner,of course,bringing even more mainstream attention to the sport.Don't misunderstand that.
But if this whole recent rush to diversify NASCAR doesn't smack of being just another thinly veiled attempt to:
a)attract sponsorship from certain companies that otherwise would never be interested in NASCAR for marketing purposes, or:
b)appease those elements of society that deride and condemn NASCAR as being just to white/redneck/southern,or:
c)both.
Give us a break Gibbs.Blacks,Hispanics,women,yankees,the occasional oriental,muslim,catholic,lesbian and three toed snake handler are all a part of society.Most race fans put away their wooden crosses and kerosene years ago,ironed their sheets and accept that we live in a very diversified world.We dont really need you to shine your light of purity so that we can all burn our rebel flags and see more clearly.
You're after the money from Afro-sheen,El Palacio's and Tampax.Period.The fans can see thru you and Jesse the J won't be fooled either.So before you snatch kids off the basketball court just be sure your heart is in the right place.You can't put boots on a rooster,after all.The 'Tiger Woods' of NASCAR racing that you want to find is ALREADY in Winston Cup!
Young and brash and taking NASCAR by storm.
Just a shame Kurt is white.But I guess skin color is what sits Tiger apart,right?
Of course,you can shut up the cynics like me,Mr.Gibbs....as soon as you replace Tony Stewart with Bill Lester!
(Sorry folks,just a little rant this morning!Any opinions? )
