I now a bunch that travel to see the White Sox play. College football fans travel a lot to see their teams play. I definately don't think there are more people that enjoy or are a fan of NASCAR than baseball or football.

 

l also think pro wrestling outdraws all of them. Is pro wrestling a sport? I think not. I think they get so much s*** for it because of the stereotypes surrounding it. All of the people that I know that like it do fit that stereotype. That and they keep on wanting to push it and claim it as a sport when it really shouldn't be classified as one. Classify it as anything else they want and if they enjoy it then they shouldn't care what it is classified as, so I don't know why many of them feel the need to push it as a sport.

Yeah Steff, and like millions of people travel to go to church every weekend, I bet church is attended even more attended than nascar. But church isn't a sport, is it? Noo. Therefore, nascar is not a sport.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh god...Spiffs post count is going to double...I know you love these nascar threads

 

You need to ask Ian about my argument on why Nascar isn't a sport during the roadtrip.

Now how did that make sense? By travel I don't mean going to Sox Park. I mean going to Detroit, Cleveland, Minnesota, New York, Oakland. Tons of people do it.

I travel to Pennsylvania every weekend to go to church, are you saying im not as dedicated as a baseball fan?

Am I saying that NASCAR fans are not as dedicated as baseball fans? Am I saying that NASCAR is not a sport because of fan dedication or attendance? What are you talking about? I don't think you know how we got on the subject of attendance or what I am even talking about when it comes to attendance between the sports. You are assuming things that I am talking about and that is not good.

anyone want to figure out what the universal identifiers of "sport" is?

 

My first description is competition and keeping score. There has to be a winner.

Apparently you know nothing about driving in NASCAR.

 

I still don't understand why so many shorts are in a wad over it.  I can't stand basketball or golf, but panties don't get in a twist over it...

Here's what I do know...NASCAR is a "redneck sport".

 

It takes very little athletic ability to drive a racecar in a circle. You can be a 300 lb slob, and still be a NASCAR driver...all you have to be able to do is fit in the car, the car itself does most of the work!

I guess Brian and I are rednecks then. Whatever makes you sleep better at night.

I don't feel the need to push NASCAR as a sport. I think more people feel the need to clasify it as a non-sport.

 

Anytime we start a thread on here, someone always hijacks the thread and asks, 'Why is this in "The Sports Bar?"" It gets old. Someone said earlier, if you don't like it, stay away!

That's just plain stupid and totally ignores Steff's point, which was answering a previou question about the media calling Auot Racing the Number 1 spectator sport.

If anyone has ever done or read anything about the demographics of NASCAR fans, I am sure you will not find a whole lot of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc.

 

NASCAR began in the Southern US, and it's fan base is primarily Southern white males.

 

I apologize for using the term "rednecks", it was insensitive, and I did not wish to offend anyone.

Apology accepted, but I think you're wrong.

It wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

 

A couple weeks ago, I heard Boers and Bernstein on WSCR talking about the origins of NASCAR...they said it originated by southern bootleggers driving souped up cars to outrun the law.

 

I don't know if this is true, but, it does make sense.

Yee haw, mothf***er!  :fyou

BTW...I may have f**ked a lot of things in my life, but, I have never f**ked a moth!

Yes, it's true. I have yet to hear how it evolved into what it is today, but I've heard that story many many times.

They did a history of NASCAR on the History Channel. That is the origins of NASCAR.

Snip..

 

 

I don't know why many of them feel the need to push it as a sport.

I don't know anyone who preaches about something so much that they claim to dislike so much...

 

Why don't you just worry about the things that you consider a sport and leave the 90 million people that like NASCAR alone?

Which... according to ESPN, is a fact.

Organized racing actually started on the beaches down in Florida.

Pet peeve. 90 million in attendance, doesn't mean 90 million people go to NASCAR...

 

Carry on.

OK.. a lot more than 90 million then since it's likely that most of those redneck fans don't have the scratch to travel to the races.

 

Carry on.
