NASCAR products are back baby!!!!! oh yeah!
Watched ESPN's "First Take" with Stephen A. Smith and was quite surprised at his stance on the Kurt Busch issue. The following was taken from the sportingnews.com site.
I usually do not side with Stephen A. but this time around I think he has made a great point.
I am glad to see NASCAR take the position they have on the allegations, as there is proof positive, but it makes one wonder why NASCAR is so fast to "judge" while the other sports sit back and wait, no matter how much "evidence" is presented.
On ESPN's First Take, Stephen A. Smith went in on the recent allegations involving Busch. The analyst mentions there is something missing from the whole situation. There aren't groups of people talking about Busch ad nauseam to the point where everyone is sick of it.
"Kurt Busch gets cited for domestic violence by a judge. Ok yes, he gets suspended by NASCAR, we appreciate that. Where's the public outcry? Ray Rice, Greg Hardy, (Ray) McDonald in San Francisco even though that case was ultimately dropped, Adrian Peterson with child abuse. Kurt Busch has this happen to him, NASCAR takes the position they take, but where's the public outcry?"
Smith goes on to mention perhaps NASCAR isn't as popular as the NFL, but in some parts of the country, people would beg to differ. Regardless of how popular or unpopular the sport is, Smith reiterates there should be the same amount of public uproar for each athlete involved in this kind of situation.
