Who cares? It’s NASCAR. Literally the most useless “sport” on the planet.
Also, everyone that actually attends a nascar event IS a flaming, rabid racist. I don’t care if there are like 4 teeth.
FIFY.

Why’d you edit your post?
I don’t GAF about NASCAR. Couldn’t care less what happens to all those redneck f*cktards. Racist POS trash. All of ‘em.
And again...couldn’t care less about the r2 people you know in your life who aren’t racist but love nascar.
This is not a Smollett situation since Bubba never saw the rope. But it really doesn't excuse him nor NASCAR for running with the race baiting angle before all the facts were known.
because CNN never lies...He's on CNN right now telling everyone he knows what he saw and it was a noose so...
That was my thought, as well. I've never seen a garage door with a pull like that and I worked in lots of warehouses back in the day.. Usually they put a wooden handle on it or just tie a big knot. A slip knot is dumb. But it is NASCAR.Why would you want a slipknot as a garage pull? You’d want a non-slip loop.

Latest is Jussie Smollett will be his new crew chief.I don't think Bubba had anything to do with it. He had a team member who is probably a bit of an antifa sympathizer overreact like is so common today, and it got out of hand. Thankfully, the worst part of this was the negative light that it shed unnecessarily on NASCAR. That's not going to be a bad thing especially with the positives that happened in supporting Bubba prior to and after the race even if under false pretense.
Speaking of racist^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Who cares? It’s NASCAR. Literally the most useless “sport” on the planet.

You're assuming it's an automatic door. Pull cord means you pull the door down, not unlatch it. You don't pull down the door with what you postedWhile it's fair that it was like this beforehand. . . It still seems a little odd. Don't those cords usually have pull handles.
Like this?
Sorry but I've never seen a pull cord like that and it looks extremely odd.
Again I can admit that it wasn't put there by racist intentions but at the same time I wouldn't say that it's standard either.
Google "Garage door pull cord" and find a picture of another garage door cord that looks like that. (Not the one in Wallace's garage.)
Given everything that is going on, plus the history the noose has with African Americans, I can say it's reasonable for someone to see that and think it was done like that intentionally.

This is the part that gets me. They could have looked at the other doors and realized they all had it. I suspect they did but went with the story anyway. Total garbage.I'm not bent out of shape. You're the one relentlessly defending him after he got egg on his face from a premature overreaction.
Maybe he could have taken a walk down the rest of the garage bay doors and noticed that they all had the same knot to pull the doors down.
My dad's garage doesn't have an automatic door on it and the pull cord for that has no noose on it.
Seems extremely out of the ordinary.
Oh I don't know, maybe look at the other garage door pull ropes. It's a 20+ car garage with no walls. Easy to see them all hanging on the 20+ doors.What should have have done differently? When his crew reported it to NASCAR he should have gone into hiding until you gave him the all-clear? Until the FBI was done with their forensic investigation? Gone into radio silence and said "talk to my crew" or "talk to NASCAR"?
Yeah, that seems likely. Maybe you need to ask yourself why you're so bent out of shape.
Yes. Why aren't you in the "When do we meet to pull down US president statues" thread.Is this the correct room for the racist redneck right wing circle jerk?
My God, look at the YouTube video touring the garage. Every door had the same "noose".My dad's garage doesn't have an automatic door on it and the pull cord for that has no noose on it.
Seems extremely out of the ordinary.
Outrage? Hardly. If you are in stall #4 of a 20 stall open garage it's very easy to look and see the same rope hanging from each door.To all of the people who are calling this a hoax and exhibiting outrage: what is your point? Was there some victim or injustice in your version of the story that I’m missing here? I don’t understand why a person would care so much even if this was a case of of willful misunderstanding; unless you all believe that the disgustingly shameful history of thousands of lynchings has no relevance today.
I don’t GAF about NASCAR. Couldn’t care less what happens to all those redneck f*cktards. Racist POS trash. All of ‘em.
I’m beginning to think you and I won’t be friends.But you're not a racist, right? Moron.
Is that true?Maybe he could have taken a walk down the rest of the garage bay doors and noticed that they all had the same knot to pull the doors down.
That’s what I would like to know.Is that true?
And has it always been that way?
If that's the case, that sounds OK. Or does it? Does that settle the issue?That’s what I would like to know.
sounds like they do have pictures from months ago and it looked the same.
You're really, REALLY reaching... at something that is totally not there!If that's the case, that sounds OK. Or does it? Does that settle the issue?
Try this thought experiment....
Suppose you are the first Jewish NASCAR driver.
Suppose you speak out against Nazi flags at NASCAR events.
Suppose you go to an event, and the pull down for the garage area you are assigned incorporates a swastika.
Does the fact that all garage doors have that swastika and have done so for at least several months make it OK?
My point is that maybe the noose wasn't actually there to target Wallace. But it was still there.
And maybe it wasn't there to signify lynching. But this particular sporting world is widely recognized as a bastion for white supremacy types. So it doesn't strike me as even slightly unreasonable to jump to that conclusion. Might end up being wrong. But not unreasonable.
I would say... wait until you know before you make those kinds of remarks. The same goes with Trevor Noah. Noah, especially, looks like a fool, now.
I didn't realize you were one of those who had trouble with thought experiments.You're really, REALLY reaching... at something that is totally not there!
Jewish drivers and swastika pull handles???
Speaking of idiots, remember when you said the word “cracker” is just as offensive as the n word?I want to know who the idiot was that reported the garage rope to the authorities?
Why didn't this take like 5 seconds to figure out?
Was Wallace used by Nascar?
The mental gymnastics by some ITT is amusing. No one in Bubbas crew knew what the garage pull down rope that they’ve used thousands of times was. Bubba didn’t see it or know anything about it but he sure ran with it, criticized others, called people racist and cashed in. Poor guy.
Also, everyone that actually attends a nascar event IS a flaming, rabid racist. I don’t care if there are like 4 exceptions.
Unless, of course, you are a white supremacist and you want to incorporate nooses into your workplace. Might not be a good pull handle, but it's good for signaling values.That was my thought, as well. I've never seen a garage door with a pull like that and I worked in lots of warehouses back in the day.. Usually they put a wooden handle on it or just tie a big knot. A slip knot is dumb. But it is NASCAR.
It's literally him talking on CNN...because CNN never lies...
I participated in the experiment. I concluded that it was a lame experiment. It was a terribly lame comparison.I didn't realize you were one of those who had trouble with thought experiments.
I'll lower my expectations going forward.
