That is precisely the point, you suggest you would boycott, so why would a company want provide sponsorships that would bring them any kind of bad press. There is no company to my knowledge that have given the public the reason they have chosen not to be a NASCAR sponsor. I didn’t mean to imply that there was, but to think that in the privacy of the boardroom these questions are not raised on where to spend their advertising dollars, is foolish. I could be wrong on this but I don’t think so.

Like I said I have no real problem with riseupandregister being a sponsor, they chose this drive and though it was a good place to spend their money and when ESPN decided not to run the ad they chose to cut back their sponsorship when it failed to provide all the air time they though they should get. I also have no problem with ESPN choosing not to run this ad on their network…business is business.

Blake had a new primary sponsor ChristianCinema.com for the Texas race and riseupandvote did not drop him completely like originally implied and are now “secondary sponsors”…like the above article predicted would happen. This was just more faux outrage that foxnews likes to push. Blake is still in need of a primary sponsor for the next 28 or so races, but they’re several other drivers/teams in the same boat.

As for “liberal” media not giving this air time, well they shouldn’t have…its not a “news” story, and should never have been pushed as one. Like I said there are a lot of drivers out there with no stickers on their cars and would have loved this free air time.

I forgot to put in the article Reutimann should be drawn and quartered for that bush league joke he pulled today.

I love it and would have plenty more to add, but it would not be quite as p.c. as you would want on this site.
