Very frustrating. And to hear ESPN immediately start moving the goalposts and talking as if the noose is now completely irrelevant to this story.....is it any wonder people are so polarized right now.



Just shameless hate mongering from the media at every turn.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Its good that he has calmed down. I can understand still being worked up about it last night, but holy shit someone should have stopped him from going on Don Lemon.

While I have no doubt he sees a LOT of nasty abuse being the only black driver in Nascar, it is going to be hard to take him seriously going forward.

too late, bubba. this information was out before he went on don lemon's show and he continued making a buck off it

he was more than happy to lie through his teeth on national TV when he full well knew better, now his PR team is backpedaling for him. i'm not with that.

Eff Bubba Wallace. I was with him up until Tuesday night when instead of just saying "Thank you for the support and i accept results of investigation, we are moving on" he basically doubled down and said crap like "it was a noose, may not have been for me but it's a noose" What a freaking idiot he is and I can't stand people like him.

This is what he should have said last night. I have no more sympathy for him.

I think from now on when a story breaks involving a noose we should all hold back on the outrage until we get the facts straight.

We've reached levels of mass hysteria that probably rival Euro & colonial witch hunts.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Looks like a noose to me. Poor Bubba, too many people gave him shit this week without having all the details and he had to put up with being called a liar on top of the blatant racism.

This is good advice.
