hahaha I was posting in the 2016 NASCAR thread.

NASCAR Championship race on NBC

187/267 laps to go

Leader: MY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn, Truex, Jr running second

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the ending is going to be a doozy.

[Dylan]

Three to go

Truex, Jr, vs. Kyle .36 sec behind the leader

Looks like Truex has it - His car carries more speed down the straight, Kyle is better in the cornering



Edit: Truex, Jr wins the 2017 NASCAR Championship!

[siberian khatru]

Happy for Truex

[Al Bundy]

So ends the #5 car, I think the 9 will be my new favorite.

Although my driver came in second and lost by seconds - Glad it was Truex, Jr. he lost too.

Happy for Martin - Truex put on a show throughout the season for a team owned and sponsored by Furniture Row Racing.

Let's hope HMS gets off their asses this off season and starts making fast cars again.

What is this world coming to? Boys don't wear dresses...

This picture has Public Relations Damage Control written all over it. Did they have to use his nephew in the same princess dress Hamilton chastises him for wearing in a video to strut around Disney World to repair Hamilton's public image - I am not sure which outfit is more ridiculous.

Looks like Hamilton had to cover the logo on his sneakers - Therefore, one patch is red and the other one is orange.


Daily Mail U.K.

Hamilton's appearance comes after he apologised for sharing a Christmas Day video on Instagram in which he chastises his nephew for wearing a princess dress



Hamilton's nephew on the left - His niece on the right

In the video, Hamilton tells his 5.7 million followers: 'I’m so sad right now. Look at my nephew.'

The camera then moves to a young boy wearing a blue and pink princess dress and waving around a pink heart-shaped furry wand.

Hamilton asks the small child: 'Why are you wearing a princess dress? Is this what you got for Christmas?'

When his nephew says yes, Hamilton replies: 'Why did you ask for a princess dress for Christmas?'

He then shouts at the boy: 'Boys don’t wear princess dresses!'

The youngster covers his ears with his hands and turns away.

The video drew criticism on social media, with performance artist Travis Alabanza tweeting: 'I hope @LewisHamilton properly thinks and apologises to his nephew for that video.

Calm down people. It's a dress. Not a sexchange operation waiting to happen.

Edit: At least the Brits got one thing right:

How the public have been fooled into allowing boys to wear dresses is the state of the western world as a whole. Basically LH has bowed to the pressure from the public. That boy should NEVER be allowed to parade around that way.

Hamilton makes approx. $150 million per year - Why would he care if he loses 250 fans in the West - I bet he loses more of his fan base for caving in to the criticism.
