"the Polish victory lap"- the fuck is that about? I'm not one to get outraged over fairly innocuous racial/ethnic humor. However, in an industry where everyone censors their figures of speech, I heard this description of Daytona on two national outlets. I really don't care that it is a commonly used descriptive. There are plenty of common phrases I wouldn't expect to be heard on television. I would hope not to hear a reporter use a common phrase for negotiating a more favorable price on an item. I would hope not to hear a reporter use a common phrase for someone achieving lower middle class income and spending beyond his means. "Cornball brother" sent people into an outrage and the reporter was appropriately suspended with his contract not being renewed. It's really not a big deal to me but at least attempt to have equal treatment. |

I don't think it's a derogatory term. It's named in honor of a Polish guy. Kulwicki? |

Still, it was interesting to hear Mike Joy pause after he started to describe it. I think he realized it's probably not a good idea. But, it usually gets mentioned at least once a year. |

It is called that because it is performed backwards. Again, not a big deal but don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. |

It is the same argument as when black rappers re popularized use of an offensive term for African Americans. |

Why the hell are you reading NASCAR reporters anyway? If you are looking for ethnic sensitivity, I'm not sure the sport of Bristol, Tennessee is the place to go. |

I think you would have to be willfully ignorant not to believe I am correct. If it was simply a stylistic thing popularized by a Pole there would be no reason for the term not to be used. |

The reason not to use it is because, in spite of its actual origins, there are going to be those who hear it and take offense. Case in point. |
