NASCAR Gives Drivers, Crew Permission to Disrespect the National Anthem

NASCAR has removed a rule that required drivers and pit crews to stand at attention during the National Anthem.

Bob Pockrass, of Fox Sports, was the first to report that the rule was not in a handout distributed for Atlanta. He also reports NASCAR does not plan to include the rule in any future handouts.

The original rule read:

“DRIVERS & CREW CHIEFS, please advise all your Team members: Conduct during the playing of the National Anthem, taken from the US Flag Code. When the flag is displayed – all persons should face and stand at attention with their right hand over their heart – persons should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart – when the flag is not displayed – all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.”

When you all start to get shot from the civil unrest you all are trying to cause, I won't lose any sleep over it!!!! And that is how you know it is not about anything but anti-america bullshit, you have multi-millionaire's like kapernick and could use that money to do something to affect change or make people aware, instead, you boycott america who didn't do this to you, the cops did and the politicians who passed laws protecting them did, and the judges for not locking them up and for DAs who won't charge cop did!!!

The France family built a great sport and it is interesting to see it dismantled by a group of liberals. What would big Bill think?

No more sports for me. I did not go and support sporting events for them to be political. Watch salaries go down and the slow destruction of sports on the national level since the ANARCHIST don't have the money to spend on national sports.

I get watery eyes when I hear the National Anthem and see our flag in the air. This also gets my eyes watery. Sad, they won’t be able to hear the Anthem when disrespectful drivers continue with engines running in the pit.

It's not going anywhere. There will always be people willing to watch shit go around and around and around and around. Roulette at least pays out now and then.

Glad I quit watching two years ago.....stands being empty will be the new normal regardless of the flu!

You guys bore me. I go to races every 3 years or so for the last 15 years. Every race I have been to most of the crowd is still busy swilling beers, stuffing their face, throwing cornhole bags, etc during the anthem. Cut the phony tears and cry baby act.

True Americans are losing the United States of America, we once knew. Donald John Trump will lose the upcoming election because of 13% of the American population (blacks) due to white pandering. The MSM are nothing but liars and they are bought and paid for by china propagandist. They have been after Trump for 3.5 years. The demoRATS are anti-American, period. I am NOT a racist, but I believe the black people (most, not all) just want free things given to them because they feel entitled. When Trump loses in November, America, our beautiful America, is over. God bless her and all TRUE Americans.

True Americans are getting fed up with this mess. I guess they will get the message if we stop going to the races and buying their t-shirts, etc., etc., etc.

Oh please. That whole series is as staged as professional wrestling anyway. It's all just another staged reality TV show now.

Bubba Wallace, the only black Nascar driver fainting after a race, just after Geaorge Floyd dies saying "I can't breath". No symbolism there, right?

Then the whole "noose" debacle. All concocted for symbolism and publicity. Got caught just like Juicy Smollet too, but because they have no morals or ethics they're STILL not coming clean, even when the whole world knows the truth. Busted! Own it.

Buh Bye fake racing. It was good in the old days, but those days are LONG GONE.

Over one racist driver and a garage door rope. You're going to throw away your entire sport?? You rednecks are pretty freaking stupid. Well maybe you All can get retrained as ass washer's for Black's. Since you're doing such a great job KISSING SAID SAME ASS.

They do all this inside the track?? STFU you POS. You and your LIE. Swilling beer?? Who says that other than a libutard FAG.

And the stupid Black who CONSTANTLY make an ASS of themselves fighting with a cop. You fool's think all this just happened. Been going on for decades. Black's don't give a shit. They are still the same SLAVE'S they always will be. Do what their Masters tell them.

This is exactly what unpatriotic Libtard John P. Angelos did to our Baltimore Orioles. I refuse to spend any money on the Orioles any longer. I think I was investing over $10,000 a year on them from Spring training, to Seasonal tickets. Not any longer.

I've been saying this for 3.5 years and I'm afraid you are right. With all these white idiots caving into the Black Lives Matter racists, we are going to have a tough time winning the White House again. White people are so weak it's pathetic and embarrassing.

If you don't believe me about white people being weak and caving in. Look at what Big Mouth Mike Lewis did when he caved into the NAACP and withdrew his own 2nd Amendment Resolution at the last County Council meeting. He disrespected a group of thousands from the 2A Group who supported him. He is an all talk and no action white coward. Can't wait until the General Assembly meets again in January and they start talking about more gun laws. Mikey Boi will be all dressed up in his 5-Star General uniform barking "We won't comply!" They will be rolling in their chairs laughing their a$$es off at him and telling him to go sit back down.

White Cowards like Mike Lewis have ruined it for the white race and Conservatives. Mike Lewis this is your last term as Sheriff.

Well there goes another sport for me so don't need that one either
Ok now it's time for baseball to step up to the plate and have a turn at it and like I told my wife the first attempt that baseball does on this i will be done with that one too
Oh well we will see

I guess their new sponsors will be Colt 45, Nike, Purple Drank, Rappers, the gold chain and gold teeth industry, SNAP and other welfare organizations, BLM, the number 45 car brought to you by the crips. Instead of speeding around the track they will be driving slow playing sh**ty music with big rims hopping up and down. After the race they will have an obligatory brawl between gangs finished off by a shooting where only bystanders get shot.

When Bubba showed up, someone said "well, there goes the neighborhood"

And sure enough Nascar is ruined.

Next we'll here is they have done away with our National Anthem, the prayer before each race and flying our flag. NASCAR has "BENT OVER". I am finished with them completely but still wishing for the drivers safety.

I use this blog and the comments on this blog to show my black friends who identify as Republicans what white Republicans really think of them. Candace Owens and others are tap dancing pawns. The people on this blog are racist and bigoted. Not saying all Republicans are racist but all racists are Republican and I’ll be damned if my vote will align with white racists. Keep up the good work exposing it Joe even though you don’t mean to. Trumps rating with the black community will soon be near 0% if I have anything to do with it. Vote blue!!!
