I simply cannot understand the logic behind thinking " OK,this company doesn't respect my heritage and the heritage of the sport*,let's give them money to show how mad we are at them". Empty stands speaks much,much louder than flags. *going with the flag being about heritage and NASCAR being a sport. Good points... If NASCAR fans were *all* Confederate sympathizers, NASCAR would be bankrupt a long time ago... My guess is that NASCAR bans the Confederate Flag from its stadiums, and folks who claim they are bothered by it still pay gobs of money to support NASCAR... Wrong, again. He's wrong all of the time. |

LOL I can see all the board room quislings now. The kenyan, the corp. sponsors, and NASCAR, all betting on a lose lose scenario. If the big money sponsors leave, they lose, if they ban the flag, they lose. LOL Since if they ban the flag, they lose the South. Just piss on the fire and call in the dogs. Ha

Coke CEO making an official statement in 3...2...1... If NASCAR wants to keep making money, they are going to have to answer the phone when the big sponsors call...

They, without a doubt, stand with making more money. I will say that GM is a big corporate sponsor of NASCAR, and the President owns GM... So what, Nascar is going to flush their business down the progressive pipeline or GM is going to forget about the massive market that Nascar opens up to them and if they do, do you think that another biggie won't swoop right in to fill the void?

I'll admit, I never really thought of buying or flying a CBF....it just never really crossed my mind, but I saw people that do. I always saw it as showing that they were Rebels, basically a finger to all those that say toe the line, conform, listen to our bullshit laws, turn in your guns, etc, etc.... NOW, in the wake of SJW bullshit run amok, and the bullshit now going on, including the Taliban like desire to tear down monuments to the dead, because it offends their precious sensibilities, and the desire to scrub history because they don't like it, I am pissed off, and I want to fly it just to piss off the SJW types, and people like you.

I have not flown the American flag since Obama was elected, I fly the first Naval Jack...its one of my forms of protest, small, no doubt, but I am putting it out there....If I can find one, I'll fly the CBF, again, not because I espouse SOME of the reason the Confederacy was formed, but because I have a bunch of PC douchebags and SJW's tell me I can't. I guarantee you 85% of people who hoist that flag are doing it to show rebellion against the destruction Freedom in this country in the name of "Social Justice"....yeah, sure you may have some hard core "neo-Confederates" who may want to go back to 1860, but not many.... |

The fact that public money is being spent for all memorials; confederate, black history, etc. is universal. Only the people can pick and choose where that money is spent. To solely base the removal of the confederate flag from public places on a vocal minority that is offended is no different than a small minority wanting any other memorial removed because it offends them. Caught with that, he then changed his tune to remove all monuments and tax dollars being spent on them. |

Imagine the Coke CEO fielding questions from Mississippi's Declaration of Causes of the Civil War... Mississippi wrote that they were going to war for the sole reason of preserving slavery... Imagine the Coke CEO facing questions on live TV with someone quoting the original founding documents of the Confederacy... A Confederate sympathizer does not care... And many NASCAR fans may not care. But Coke does not just market to NASCAR fans... The documents from the founding of the Confederacy are pretty damning in relation to state, individual, and basic human rights... No one in their right mind wants to be in a position to defend the founding principles of the Confederacy... And that is why folks are distancing themselves from the Confederate flag right now... Because it would be pretty easy to put someone into a corner on the issue. Coke does not just market to NASCAR fans... And if NASCAR starts to make Coke look bad, their money can be better spent elsewhere... NASCAR goes bankrupt from lack of sponsors... Who wins? Who wins when all those jobs, and the income is lost...? A new company that takes its place is going to be just-as PC as NASCAR if they are going to seek the same big international corporations money... The founding documents of the confederacy are pretty damning considering state, local, and individual rights... And Confederate sympathizers have tried to tie modern conservative (of state rights and individual freedom) ideals to the old Confederacy (big government protecting the business interests of a few slave-owners) in an effort to re-paint history with a new brush... The founding documents are damning, and liberals are able to tie modern conservatives to the Confederacy through Confederate sympathizers and the Confederate flag. It is a win-win for liberals... But, yeah... If you want to see what direction NASCAR takes, talk to the major shot-callers at the corporations that invest the most money into NASCAR...

It really is that simple... NASCAR is rooted in the south. Without fans there are no sponsors. Your point on the stock holders is right on and I think that the vast majority of people don't give two shits about this issue. It's the media that's blown this up and it's all manufactured outrage. It can't and won't last much longer. I've never understood the appeal of NASCAR anyway. Watching cars go in a circle while baking in the stands is fun? NASCAR did begin in the South... Coke markets worldwide... NASCAR makes the vast majority of its money from corporate sponsors who see NASCAR as a positive investment. NASCAR (and NASCAR fans) can shoot themselves in the foot by allowing Confederate sympathizers to die on this hill... The sad truth is that the Confederate flag might means something positive to a Confederate sympathizer... But it might be a symbol of the tyranny of the Southern government, if you read the documents from the founding of the Confederacy.

Not a big fan of the Confederacy or the flag, but I can't help but get a warm fuzzy upon seeing NASCAR fans give the spineless PC management the collective finger.

Unless you're seriously trying to tell me that liberals and brown people will be lining up to watch homogenized shitty cars make left turns for 2 1/2 hours, those sponsors are gonna find something else to sponsor right quick once all the rednecks leave That's the point... If the only people holding-up NASCAR are Confederate sympathizers, then NASCAR is going to go broke soon... Waving the Rebel Flag at a sporting event is probably about as indicative of racist sympathies, as cowboy hats at a Austin Rodeo are indicative of cattle ownership. More people probably think of the Dukes of Hazzard when they see a Rebel flag than think of the Confederacy. For every guy waving an orange flag in support of the clan, there are probably several that are against the federal over-reach, "the Man", progressive rules and regulations; as well as a whole bunch who view it as a southern identity thing, or are just rebels w/out a clue. But, tell people they can't do something, and many will support it for that reason alone. |

Quoted: The flag is now a freedom of speech and freedom of thought issue. I am from the North. I will fly the Stars and Bars because O Bummer and his crowd want to forbid it. View Quote |

I'm looking to buy my first Confederate flag. I'm about to get some mag wraps as well. This is how I deal with those wanting to suppress freedom.

How come there is so much crazy shit going on about the Confederate Flag(yes, I know it's not about the flag it's about control)why isn't there as much counter-crazy shit going on about rainbow flag. I think it offends more people than just me. By the way, the zipperheads may be able to take down certain Southern symbols from public property but they will NEVER be able to take yours.
