Leave it to a bunch of hillrods to get it right . I may have to become a fan of driving real fast around an oval.

Unlike their NFL and NBA executive counterparts, NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series team owners did not support those within their organization to protest during the national anthem before Sunday's race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Richard Childress team owner of drivers Ryan Newman, Austin Dillon and Paul Menard and longtime car owner of Dale Earnhardt, said any protest of the anthem will "get you a ride on a Greyhound bus.”

"Anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people gave their lives for it. This is America," Childress, a NASCAR Hall of Famer said, via the Associated Press.

President Donald Trump's controversial remarks Friday, calling national anthem protesters in the NFL "sons of b—" and saying they should be "fired," have sparked anger among NBA and NFL players this weekend. Trump said Sunday that standing with locked arms during the anthem is fine but kneeling is not acceptable.


Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty and current team owner of the No. 43 Cup Series team of Aric Almirola agrees with Trump.

“Anybody that don’t stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period. What got ’em where they’re at? The United States," Petty said, adding that any protester within his organization would be fired.

“If they don’t appreciate where they’re at … what got them where they’re at? The United States.”

Veteran motorsports owner Chip Ganassi said he agreed with “Mike Tomlin’s answer,” to the anthem controversy. The Steelers coach stood on the field Sunday in Chicago as the majority of his players and staff remained in the locker room.

Can't wait to see people on Twitter cry about how Richard Petty is violating the free speech rights of his employees.

The comments on the Deadspin article on this topic got preeeeetty close.

I'll bet North Korea doesn't tolerate these kind of protests either.

I'm sure the 25 people still left in the stands at NASCAR will appreciate this.

Mandatory Standing for anthem is to appreciate all glory for Best Korea. Thank.

Yes. Compelling someone to stand for the National Anthem seems just the slightest bit un-American.

NASCAR owners had no choice. the remaining 10 hillbilly fans would've stopped watching like everyone else already has.

I'm glad the people at NASCAR are able to exercise their 1st amendment right. Good for the folks in football too. That's what America is all about. Stop trying to divide/etc..with these stupid fucking threads.

I really don't care if NASCAR does this or if the NFL allows/disallows such protests.

both sports should focus instead on trying to improve the quality of their competition. I did watch some NASCAR 15 years ago. They ended up shooting themselves in the foot several times and I haven't watched since.

Football on the other hand needs to improve the quality of competition. Limited practices under the new CBA has killed the game.

Fix those issues and I'll care.

If some of the people defending Kaepernick are "virtue signaling," so are these people.

"Look at me! I loooove my country more than everyone else!"

There is a fine line between patriotism and nationalism. I think Kaepernick comes off as immature and misguided most of the time, but I wouldn't hate him simply because he doesn't sleep in Starred and Striped pajamas.
