NASCAR is making a massive mistake by embracing the extremist Marxist group “Black Lives Matter.”
The founder of the Soros-funded group recently made it clear she is a “trained Marxist,” and that the groups goal is to get rid of President Trump.
There is is no reason on earth for any patriotic conservative to support any group that is proudly communist and wants to remove our president simply because their name is “Black Lives Matter.”

This is a clever marketing ploy that is used to shame and guilt people into submission.
“Oh, you don’t support “Black Lives Matter”? That means you don’t support black lives!”
No, that’s absurd, and the sooner people reject that nonsense the better.
But instead of rejecting BLM, NASCAR, whose base of support is red-blooded/non-politically correct white men, they’re embracing the divisive movement even more. Now, NASCAR is encouraging. drivers to “take a knee” during the anthem.
Big, big, BIG mistake, NASCAR.
[…] after a series of decisions and actions taken by NASCAR as an organization in recent weeks to express support for the Black Lives Matter movement and racial justice.
Ahead of a race in Atlanta earlier this month, officials lifted a rule imploring drivers and crew to stand with their hand over their hearts during the playing of the National Anthem, becoming the latest professional U.S. sports organization to do so.
Before the change, drivers and crew chiefs were given a handout during pre-race meetings that included the following:
DRIVERS AND CREW CHIEFS, please advise all your Team members: Conduct during the playing of the National Anthem, taken from the US Flag Code. When the flag is displayed – all persons should face and stand at attention with their right hand over their heart – persons should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart – when the flag is not displayed – all present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed.
That paragraph has since been eliminated from the handouts.
As reported by NBC Sports, following the rule change, NASCAR official Kirk Price, who is black, knelt and saluted the flag during the playing of the anthem ahead of the Cup race in Atlanta June 7. Adam Stern, a reporter for Sports Business Journal, tweeted a photo of Price kneeling, fist raised in the air.

NASCAR also banned the display of Confederate flags at races. The flag has been a fixture at NASCAR events for decades.
The move came after Bubba Wallace called for an end to the tradition.
Mr. Wallace claims there was a “noose” left in his car garage – a fact that is in deep dispute, now that pictures have come out. showing “noose-like” garage pulls on most of the garage. doors.
It’s fine to want to see justice for Mr. Floyd, but this has become a three-ring circus that is no longer about Mr. Floyd and is now about fundamentally transforming America, shaming anyone who refuses to “take a knee,” deflect from the real reason black folks are suffering, and grab power.
Furthermore, people don’t want activism and. politics in their sports and especially in their anthem.
It’s all so tiring and people have had enough of this garbage.
