The cowards of NASCAR have dropped their killer as a race car sponsor for "reactionary concerns"

The legendary thrash metal band Slayer announced Friday that he had been dropped as the main sponsor of the # 54 race car that J.J. Yeley was due to leave for the Bristol Motor Speedway on Saturday. In a statement given to Billboard, the group cited the concerns of other historical sponsors as the reason for posting their signage.

"Today, apparently, because of the reactionary concerns of other long-time participating sponsors, Slayer was chosen as the main sponsor and all Slayer posters were removed from the car that was to be driven by the veteran. Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, JJ Yeley. , "They wrote in a statement," The inevitable PODS Moving & Storage will now sponsor this car.After nearly 40 years, Slayer remains apparently as terrifying to some as ever.

The allegations of meddling in sponsorship were corroborated Friday by a statement from Rick Ware Racing, the owner of the car.

Rick Ware Racing and Slayer announced a partnership with Bristol Motor Speedway several weeks ago. There was no contract or monetary transaction between the two parties. Unfortunately, the image and beliefs of Slayer, as well as those of Rick Ware Racing and our long-standing partners do not line up. As the owner of the team, we thought that it would be best to give up this partnership. RWR only wants the best of Slayer and their fans and wishes the group a successful Final World Tour. "

Ignoring briefly the ridiculous fact that Rick Ware Racing externally admits that he promotes a sponsorship without contractual or financial obligation on his side. Let's see how cool the car would have been if those cowards had not changed their minds the night before. last minute.

Let's go back to stupidity: it's not surprising that the epicenter of conservative culture in the sports world has a problem with a band that releases albums like South of paradise, God hates us all and Illusion of Christbut one would think that someone in the ownership group would have had the good sense to do at least a summary online search of the people they are about to associate with before proposing dummy designs. However, if they did, they would discover that some group politics was quite similar to that of the majority of sports fans. Now, a boring moving and storage company will be the main sponsor of the car.

It's good to know that in a sport where the US Border Patrol was the main sponsor of the car, the CEO has endorsed Donald Trump as president. A well-known bigot has been invited to lead a prayer in front of a race asking God for a Republican President. This was done with a racist and misogynistic sports blog, which Rick Ware Racing suddenly decided was the best time to check his moral sense and reconsider a marketing decision.
