So Kyle Larson has been fired for using the N word

[Canon Shooter]

1. No society, hell, no group of humans have ever operated that way. ALL humans judge the behavior of other humans. YOu are denying this obvious truth, because you know that behavior is indefensible, and yet, you like it.


2. They fired him for no reason.

3. They should have said, that was rude, and yet, not important. If he makes a habit of it, come ask us again.

You've apparently never run a business.

Do you always give someone a second chance when they fuck up?

Like it or not, our business climate today is one which has little patience for someone who'll say such things, and which has even less patience for a business which would employ such a person. That's not my opinion, that's reality, man.

Maybe you woud've kept him on if he worked for you, and that would be your prerogative. But it was the prerogative of CGR to let him go...

I have had it with the ridiculous "Racist" double standard that is gripping this country. IMO there is no reason that Kyle Larson should have had his career destroyed because he muttered the N word at nobody playing a video game. Have we gone insane? How many stupid Racist attacks on White people has Al Sharpton made in the last 50 years? Not only was he not fired he has been rewarded with multi-millions for his inflammatory hateful Racist rhetoric.

If you are going to apply such a high PC bar for Kyle Larson, then apply it to everyone. The better alternative is to not be so reactive to simple statements and to forgive indiscretions. It is almost as if we are living in a police state ruled by politically correct tyrants. IMO this is not America. Kyle Larson should be reinstated.

He deserves what he gets.

 

[Tommy Tainant]

There will be a clause in his contract relating to his personal behaviour. I notice it is only the klan bios on here who have a problem with it.

There is no need for anyone to tolerate racists.
There needs to be consequences for this kind of behavior.
I’m there are plenty of other jobs he can get.

Employers hire people to make money for them, not to lose it. It doesn't get more simple than that.

 

[Dick Foster]

Yep...lets apply this equally if we're going to go this route.
Call someone a honky? You're fired.

Or red neck or peckerwood or any racial slur toward anyone. If it isn't equally applied then it's racist and doing more to perpetuate racism than to kill it. Currently it's only used for personal gain often financial.

Of course, the problem with your position is that Larson was fired by a business entity. Chip Ganassi Racing had every right to sever ties with him, and to do so with zero regard for the fact that others use the same word, or that Al Sharpton is rewarded for his racism. Saying that Chip Ganassi Racing should apply anything to everyone is silly. It's not their place to do, or not do, that.

Chip Ganassi Racing is a business entity and decisions must be made with the best interests of that business in mind, and they have no responsibility to apply anything equally. They decided they didn't want their representative to be someone who would throw out such a word so matter-of-factly. If you or I don't like it, well, it's utterly meaningless.

Don't like it? Start your own racing team, hire some dipshit as a driver and let him run off at the mouth. As team owner you can then dismiss anything and everything your employee says or does.

CGR is the sole arbiter here, and their decision must be respected...

He was also suspended.

Good old ghetto lottery....

You keep going back to that same strawman, that they had the right to fire him.

Every time you do that, you are admitting that you know your defense of their throwing him to the wolves, for no reason, is not working.

This is exactly the type of hysterical witch hunt of anti-"racism" that led to the cops and social workers allowing literally thousands of white children to be raped and enslaved in your country.

you know what it leads to, yet you keep doing it.

For no reason? You think losing millions in sponsorship is 'no reason'? Keeping the sponsors happy is a huge part of the job. Ridiculous.

I think your excuses for destroying a man's life, look weaker and weaker as you keep using more like buzz words rather than actual arguments.

Sponsors bailed. Without sponsors, a team can't compete.

You're basically saying that CGR should've sided with Larson, lost their sponsors, failed to compete and been happy about it.

Is that about right?
