[DeTomaso] NPC - Yesterday's Nascar wreck

[gow2 at rc-tech.net]

If they want to TREAT women equal it is time to stop singling them out and
let them be Equal.

Having said that, NASCAR is a TEAM sport and there is a lot more to
winning then a driver...and it is not about 1 race. She could have came in
first or last it would not make me think more or less of her as a driver.
If she was there at every race like the rest of the drivers that would be
different. Instead she does pg-13 commercials and acts like a slut...yeas
I said it because it is the truth. Not that I mind it but it is not
exactly family centered ...

What they do with her is drop her in a race car for a race here or there
like Lady Gaga and act like she is just like the rest.

Listen to the announcers; it's sickening. Every other comment is about
her. What about the other 40 drivers who do it every day? Not just for a
photo op?

We just mute the race. Last year they hung on every thing she did "Oh she
was so smart to slow here, oh taking the inside lane was brilliant,
pooping on the infield was ingenious"...hey guys, there's a race on.

I have nothing against Danica per say but what they do with her makes me
sick.
