QUOTE I'm just disgusted with the media attention focused on her and I can't figure out why. As I commented above, being a guy has a lot to do with this! It is ironic that any guy is puzzled or poed about the results (Danica's publicity) of men treating women as sex objects and mixing classic cars or motorsport into this. Just what portion of this media coverage do you think is for folks (men and women) being genuinely happy for her success and what portion is for just men doing the car calendar girl thing? You guys have been bought and sold willingly for this stuff, so pulleeasse don't complain! |

You guys have been bought and sold willingly for this stuff, so pulleeasse don't complain! Can't agree with ya more Julie! That mentality is what keeps the NASCAR machine going as well.... There was no bigger fan of Danica than me a year ago.....and I am no starry eyed weekend and holiday race fan. I saw her as a vehicle to resurect open wheel racing in the eyes of the public....and she has done that to a degree. And, I also ALWAYS root for the underdog....and she CERTAINLY was that. I was aware of the "over-hyping" of her because of her sex, and just hoped that she would be THE ONE that had enough talent to overcome THE HYPE. My hope now would be she would buckle down, and grit her teeth, and finsh what she started in IRL....ie work her ass off and give a full season all she has and try to get the crown...not that she hasn't worked hard already, but she has room to grow in IRL....moving now to NASCAR and all its "riches" while some would say ".....who can blame her....look at the money/opportunity...." (see my comments in the other JPM into NASCAR thread).....IMHO that would be the easy way out..... ....then again....better drivers than her have made that "mistake" time and time again so "what can I expect..." |
