Thread: R.I.P Dale Earnhardt, 10 year anniv

Tweet

i open a thread for a man's memorial and you got the balls to come on here and insult a dead man?

thats just downright BS

he used to say "get ahead or get behind or GTF outa the way" - - - not a sport for the hesitant ones - - - I personally think that he did more for NASCAR than any other celeb - - - but that's just my "onion"

While I don't hold quite the strong opinion that Tech does, Dale Earnhart did NOT command my respect as a driver. He was a nasty driver, win at all costs, dam' the consequences and that other driver. He was crude and profane. He has been placed on a pedestal and worshiped and eulogized by people that really never heard of him until he died, Then there are those that booed him that are now in love with his memory. NA$CAR has benefited immensely by his death and still do. Na$CAR continues to put him as a leading citizen among their drivers. Most seem to forget the many others that raced and died doing what they wanted to do. Yes, he helped make NA$CAR what it is today, his death made racing safer - but he was not a god personified. I did not want his death - he did help make NA$CAR racing interesting - but he was past his prime, needed to retire and develop his business. I'm tired of his "tributes" as they are getting trite and do wish that NA$CAR would put some effort in recognizing other well known drivers who have passed.

Like Richard said - let some flames rise - but please don't forget, this is my opinion

You may as well get your money's worth from me, so I'll insult a few more dead men. Adolph Hitler was a S.O.B. too. And don't forget Mussolini, Hirohito and Stalin. One of the biggest S.O.B.'s in my lifetime was Martin Luther King and that assemblage of rabble rousing S.O.B.'s that gathered around him. He might have had a dream, but he left the rest of us with a freakin' nightmare.

You are in rare form.
