NASCAR
Nascar, entertainment suitable for mutants and farm animals. Oh, wait, if I subject my goats to that crap, I'd get curdled milk for for a month. And get boycotted by PETA.
 No matter how you look at it NASCAR bites the big one.

The one good thing about NASCRAP is that the drivers still know the fans are the only reason for their existence. Well there are a few exceptions, Tony Stewart. For the most part though the drivers still come out and actually talk and sign autographs for the fans. I know there are some other 'sport players' that will still talk to the average joe but for the most part it's all about the money to them.
I do wish there were more stock to the term 'stock' car though. I think it'd be cool to see something that actually resembles a car you can buy to compete. I might watch a race or two then. |

Of course, you couldn't call most of those beasts 'stock', either. |

I think it'd be more amusing to see lower end "stock." I mean everybody knows a Corvette will go fast. Why don't we stack up a Ford Escort vs. a Honda Civic or a Chevy Prism and a Dodge Neon and see what happens?

So what do you watch and deem "suitable"?
Baseball is a wreck with it's salary joke, football is becoming a little more WWF every year, basketball is even worse. NASCAR is great! Most people who rip on it don't have a clue. Also take a good look at the pre-race ceremonies some day before you go on about the hillbilly rednecks...at least they get a crowd (and drivers & crews) to show a little respect for the anthem & prayer. Then watch the superbowl with the Ray Lewis types doing there dance and grabassing, etc. |

Who cares about the god damned prayer? The USA is not now, nor has it ever been a Christian nation.
Who cares about a bunch of rednecks driving in circles? Other rednecks. The same idiots who attend monster truck rallies. What's got 100,000 legs and 200 teeth? The audience of a NASCAR race.

It wasn't about the prayer, rather seeing a group of people showing a little respect for something vs. watching a bunch of gangsta wannabes.
I just love you holier than thou types. I enjoy NASCAR & I am a HUGE Green Bay Packer fan, so that's basically how I like to spend my time relaxing on Sundays. Some may think 3+ hours doing that is a waste of time, if it's something that gives someone pleasure who are you to rip on them and define what is suitable, and if you don't agree they're just idiots? So my question still is this....what do you consider "suitable" ( I THINK we're discussing televised sporting events) then? |

Umm....Rallies, Superbike races...
Way more 'skill based' than NASCAR. More fun than NASCAR: .jpg) Cool BIG photo.. Oh and showing respect for what? I think prayers belong to churches and the privacy of ones home. The most uncomfortable moment of my life was being naturalized as the citizen of the US and having to say "Under God"...by the way.. I didn't. Last edited by FileNotFound; 12-11-2003 at 09:11 AM. |

List of groups that it's still okay to publicly ridicule: 1. Hillbillies (white trash, rednecks, peckerwoods, Nascar fans, et al.) 2. Hippies 3. the French 4. the Amish. We are proud, not only of our sport, but of our country. We haven't shunned our God, which is who this country was built under. We don't burn our flag. NASCAR fans will let you know how America in general feels. We are the heart and soul of the true blue American. |

Blue 58. This country was NEVER built under god.
It was built under freedom. None of the fouding fathers were strong believers in "god". |
