MotoGP 2014

I downloaded the Fox sports coverage of the GP race. I can see why the americans would be upset about it.
One of the commentators sounded mentally slow.

Downloaded the Fox coverage.

What a load of shit.

American coverage of an american race, american national anthem, american military present, american died 2 nights ago so you have to have an american moment of silence. American rider retiring so big segment on that, other american rider injured so they'd better ask him about his hand and his dad's book. Never fucking mind there was an incident involving two riders on the third corner of the first lap. Never mind that 12 laps of the 27 lap race were lost. Never mind there was a FUCKING RACE ON.

Fuck.

And NOT ONE fast American on the track. Even when Matt Maladin used to win there for years, they played the american national anthem

haha probally scott Russell

and his Southern Draaaaawwwwllllll

[pritch]

I ddn't hear what the track announcer said this time but at one recent US GP meeting the announcer said words to the effect, "Ladies and gentlemen please stand and remove your hats in honour of the national anthem of the greatest nation on earth."

Now that would be fine at a NASCAR meeting where he'd be preaching to the choir, but at in international event? Hardly in the very best of taste.

Blind biased fuckers who think the USA is the only country in the
world that matters or even exists actually. I do admire there patrotism, but some times it just goes to far with ignorance

I thought that came from the DRUGS

Don't think so...may well be wrong. Got bashed in the face at Daytona one year and had his jaw broken. But his real nasty acc was when he stalled his Ducati at Daytona and got rear ended, mashed his leg real bad and nearly bled out there and then.

Shaun's right, there was a drug issue (and he is a southerner which can make anyone sound like a half bake) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBVm...mKXYDwAPR6UYHo

thats what I was thinking about. He had some mega-insurance payout too IIRC.

Think that was due to his leg mate...IF he didn't race again or some such shit.

That is exactually what I have read also. He has raced since then though. My drug comment was a joke really, but there was a death at a swimming pool involving him and drugs not that long ago

Yeah my understading at the time was he wasn't allowed to do any more road racing? Think he did a bit of motard stuff etc. Perhaps now the time has lapsed so he can dabble again as a tar baby?
