    Re: Noose in Bubba Watson's Garage was actuall a door pull, attached to the garage door, that had been there since 2019

    I immediately thought it was a stunt.

    I think it's likely they were trying to inoculate themselves against defunding type campaigns that would cause them to lose corporate sponsors. Or it was fear a weak response might result in that happening. So...... LET'S OVER-REACT!!!!!

    Every garage is equipped with one. And there is a photo of Bubba standing next to the "noose" in his garage, unfazed... the day before all the ruckus.

    As I said, it would not shock me to learn that it was NASCAR (and not Bubba) who was the moving force behind disclosing this.... in order to try to do a little virtue-signalling.
    Virtue signaling is so dumb. We have people out trying to solve real issues like preventing what happened to Brionna Taylor from happening again, to trying to figure out how an entire police department hid Ahmad Arbury's death for a month. Then we gotta deal with bs like this and Jussie Smollett

    That would be the explanation from the less cynical side of me.

    The more cynical side of me would suggest that maybe NASCAR got wind of some joking story going around the pits, and turned it into an actual event, when nobody (including Bubba) interpreted it that way.

    And that NASCAR then orchestrated some kind of nonsense display of drive-by homage and genuflecting and groveling so that they could be part of the big virtue-signalling party too.

    Not sure which is the actual story... but I fear the latter.

    You are honestly an enigma.

    You go from profoundly irrational to firmly rational at the drop of a hat.

    I mean, the things that I rant about on here don't require virtue signaling for its effects to be felt on society. Virtue signaling tears apart at a common cause like nothing else. It's dumb.

    Jussie Smollett says it REALLY DID HAPPEN! They put Bubba in the garage with the noose for a pull down on purpose. RACISTS EVERYWHERE!

    Seems to be it’s a rope with a loop to pull down the garage door in every garage. One I Wallace last as well. Seems Wallace saw something that wasn’t real....

    I hope they suspend him from the circuit. Personally I've never sat through an entire race because the ability to turn left doesn't excite me, but a lot of my friends are/were NASCAR fans.

    They’re going to pretend it didn’t happen and move on and hope it goes away
