(3,569 posts)How many throughout NECKCAR? I am a fan but asking this douche is incredible. He has multiple revenue streams, multiple teams and I bet not one single person of color on the payroll. Except in security because black people always work security.

(21,056 posts)So that doesn't count. You can't just hire AA as muscle. So, yeah, I wonder how many people of various ethnic backgrounds are employed in their sport. And, what Kaepernick is doing is his right. He's not burning the flag or spitting on it. Even if wrong, it's his right. He has a solid argument for his action, though I think I would just voice it in interviews and on my Twitter FB etc...

(11,979 posts)I have been a big Tony Stewart fan for 20 years. One of the countries greatest racers of all time. Last time I looked, he is entitled to his opinion the same as Colin Kaepernick is.
He owns 4 NASCAR teams with 300 total employees. I see more and more NASCAR crew members of various ethnicities every year; not all that interested in what they look like as long as they can change 4 tires and refuel the car in 13 seconds
At least unlike Kaepernick, Stewart never said this....
Colin Kaepernick quote
"You have Hillary who has called black teens or black kids super predators, you have Donald Trump whos openly racist. We have a presidential candidate who has deleted emails and done things illegally and is a presidential candidate. That doesnt make sense to me because if that was any other person youd be in prison. So, what is this country really standing for?"
Basically called Hillary and Trump both racist and thinks Hillary should be in jail. Yet many here are cheering his words.... ????

Most drivers aren't accustomed to somebody doing something so monumentally stupid.
