Neither have we. But his son, Dale,Jr., is one of the big stars of NASCAR
along with the likes of Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon.

Those foreign double clutchers are not such big heat in the good old US of
A.

Well some guy with the intials JPM will be there kicking backside soon and
if Toyota doesn't have a Japanese driver in the series within 2 years Id be
shocked. Some Canadian that happens to be a former world driving champion
has been rumored to be headed for stock cars. Enjoy the last of the old
days. That Camry will have an Accord on its tail soon and the top ten at
Daytona will likely have no American makes in it soon. Not that it makes
any difference anymore with the current spec stock car.

Yeah, what's gonna happen to all these racist, xenophobe white trash
morons once NASCAR becomes globally integrated? They're gonna be pretty
messed up.

America seems to be the only place on the globe where people will watch 500
identical laps in a row for four hours. Fittipaldi and Fukiyama did not
hurt NASCAR any a couple of years ago and the new guys will not hurt NASCAR
a couple of years from now. NASCAR is not going global any more than soccer
is coming to America as a spectator sport. But soccer is a good game for
kids who do not have the skills to play the real sports.

Dumbest. comment. ever.

Name one athlete anywhere that earns more than what David Beckham will make
playing for the LA Galaxy. And endorsement money doesn't count, although
IIRC that only eliminates Tiger Woods.

How does money earned relate to skills?

Its economics. But its also related to how the skills can be applied.
Pure and simple with a popularity twist.

Beckham is one of the best and most popular players in the world's most
popular spectator sport. He draws a crowd and attention wherever he
plays. He can get a large salary because that's what he's worth to a
franchise and the development of soccer in the US.

On the other hand, a world-class curling champion probably needs a day job.

Alex Rodriguez, for one, his salary is about $25 million a year

Beckham's deal is only $50 million for 5 years

Racist and Xenophobic.

...and just basically stupid...


I care about how a driver performs on the track. Not how he acts with a
mic in his face.

If you want to watch the races for free somebody has to pay for it. Those
people are called sponsors. Those sponsors do not want some guy from
another hemisphere talkings about how his favorite product or service is the
best. He never used none of ours and we ain't never even heard of none of
his.

I find that statement highly insulting. There is no point to that kind
of harsh criticism of Jethro by comparing him to that unwashed trailer
trash.

It is supposed to be funny, you dolt. It takes more effort to construct
funny sentences than to use proper sentence structure and grammar.
