Confederate flags banned at Daytona 500
quote:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - NASCAR is reminding racing fans that displays of the Confederate flag are banned at their events, including the 63rd annual Daytona 500.

This is the first Daytona 500 where confederate flags are not allowed to be displayed on property.

NASCAR is reminding folks that Confederate flags shall continued to be banned in its events, including in the Daytona 500.

It’s funny how badly this sport committed suicide.

Likely to market itself for the younger population. The Confederate symbolism appeals to the rural older folk. Not really a demographic with much of a future these days.

Imagine being upset about this.

We all understand why NASCAR would like Confederate flags to go away, but why would anyone be upset they couldn't fly one?

Why get upset at something someone else does that, quite literally, has no affect on your life unless you LET it affect your life.

Does NASCAR really have any appeal to younger people? It's really pretty boring. I don't really care about the flag thing, but if the fans they already have, care about it, then they should have left the whole issue alone. NASCAR has a boring product, and all of the virtue signaling isn't going to change that. NASCAR should keep dancing with the ones who brought them. Once they drive those fans off, the sport will probably die out.

Imagine being so upset with a piece of fabric that you have to officially ban it, or worse yet, simp for a multi-billion corporation that bans it. I hope nascar saw this post though, bro.

Because they're f#*^!ing hypocrites?

Come on. This is easy.

"If you're against gay marriage, don't get gay married" and "Your flag offends me so it has to go" comes from the same damn mouths.

Probably concluded that the best long term investment would to at least try to appeal towards a younger crowd.

I agree, but I can understand that this is an attempt to reach out to the youth. They are a business.

because it is so exciting to watch cars drive in big circles. What a joke of a so-called sport. It's a wonder it lasted this long. These people must have some boring empty lives if they find that to be entertainment
