Did you know that most NASCAR fans are stupid? Well, our local Southern sports writer totally says that. On the front page.
Many of the beer cans that rained down on Jeff Gordon last month in Alabama had Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s picture on them, an irony lost on most race fans because most race fans don't know what irony is.
There's nothing later in the article saying "Just kidding!" This guy wrote this and put it on the front page of the newspaper (third largest in the state), the state that NASCAR is in, the state holding the most fans, the state holding the most TEAMS. He's a sports writer and said this.
*boggles*
Of course he also insults Junior Nation at one point (apparently all Junior fans are alike), but I'm used to that. I could have refuted that argument with laughter. That quote above, though...that's pure stupidity. It's not ignorance...he knew. He's just stupid.
I have a written a letter to him telling him how insulted I am, on my own behalf and on the behalf of all NASCAR fans. Talk about ugliness. Because millions of fans can't be diverse culturally, economically or in education.
