THREAD: The replies to this are almost as bad as the act itself and it’s time to call people out. Be better. https://twitter.com/sportscenter/status/1274913263575347200">https://twitter.com/sportscen...
The same goes for this tweet, which is highlighting championship leader Denny Hamlin’s sponsor FedEx removing their normal livery to draw attention to the National Civil Rights Museum - the assassination site of Martin Luther King, Jr. https://twitter.com/joegibbsracing/status/1274713097442406400?s=21">https://twitter.com/joegibbsr... https://twitter.com/joegibbsracing/status/1274713097442406400">https://twitter.com/joegibbsr...
This all comes on the heels of NASCAR’s decision to ban the confederate flag last week after @BubbaWallace spoke about the issue on CNN. Yesterday this plane flew over Talladega Superspeedway before the race, and here is NASCAR’s Executive VP @odsteve responding to the plane.
There are even more truly awful tweets in the replies to this tweet from Dale Earnhardt, Jr. @DaleJr won 15 consecutive most-popular driver awards, and is the son of NASCAR legend Dale Earnhardt. His support for @BubbaWallace is a huge resonating voice in the NASCAR community. https://twitter.com/dalejr/status/1274925802099019776">https://twitter.com/dalejr/st...

Bubba had to say this on June 12 after speaking up in support of #BlackLivesMatter

There are good people who outweigh the bad. People who claim to be “Done with NASCAR” & still spew hate after these changes have no place in the sport. Others like former NFL player @Crushboy31 have been fun follow after they have decided to support NASCAR after the flag removal. https://twitter.com/crushboy31/status/1270913184904425472">https://twitter.com/crushboy3...
The same goes for other stars who are now paying attention to the sport. NASCAR may have alienated some of their fanbase by banning the flag, but they clearly made the right decision. https://twitter.com/kylekuzma/status/1274904037284954117">https://twitter.com/kylekuzma...
I have personally been around the sport of NASCAR from the day I was born. All I can hope is that new people flock to the sport to drown out those who are filled with hate. This type of behavior can’t keep happening. Anywhere. #BLM #IStandWithBubba https://twitter.com/clintbowyer/status/1275060625807339521">https://twitter.com/clintbowy...
As other drivers are waking up to the news before today’s race they have been quick to show support for @BubbaWallace. Former champion @joeylogano with maybe the strongest statement yet... “Fix your heart, man” & “No baby is born racist. It’s taught. So just think about that.” https://twitter.com/joeylogano/status/1275068346631720965">https://twitter.com/joeylogan...
