Today is the Indy 500. It is the 92nd Indy. Over the last few years more people are getting into watching it. I think some of the newer drivers, and the next generation of already famous drivers, have brought in new viewership. This helps to keep the sport alive; but, i was a little bit shocked at some of the negative comments i read about that.
It seems there are alot of bashers out there. Wow, some of it was gender based and some of it was anti-celebrity based. People like Danica Patrick (female) and Helio Castroneves (popular from a spin on Dancing With The Stars fame) have brought more attention to race car driving. However, some of the fans really take issue with that.
Danica seems to inspire alot of the bashing. Comments about her were pretty mean spirited and sexist. I read things such as she spends alot of time showing off her body to compensate for her lack of exerience. Or, yeah right…she is going to win…with only one OTHER win under her belt. Or people making comments about some of the other drivers in the race. I mean…geez…everybody has to start somewhere.
It is ok to have a favorite driver or team…but come on…isn’t really all about the driving? About safety,skill and entertainment? Who is best will be reflected in the outcome. So why spend so much time dumping on any of the drivers? Just watch and see!!! Comment on the actual race…and how the drivers perform.
