@@hunterpro_1 why are you convinced NASCAR has it out for him and it wasn't just Brandon screwing himself over? If you follow the events that happened which @EllyProdcutions49 didn't cover very well it's more Brandon shooting himself in the foot. In November that year after Dibenedetto tried a pandering stunt NASCAR told everyone clearly nothing LGB/FJB related would be allowed in the sport. In December Brandon gave a widely covered interview about struggling to find sponsors and wanted to make LGB his own thing. The next week LGB coin was announced as sponsor. It gave the perception he did the interview to soften public opinion of him using it. Then we find out his sponsors didn't leave him, he quit answering their calls trying to renew for the next year. Then theres the paint scheme vs. sponsor approval from NASCAR drama. The week of Christmas Brandon's team submitted the paint scheme for eye test approval which it cleared. That process is seperate from actual sponsor approval teams go through. Brandon's team though took a paint scheme approval and decided that was good enough to announce their new sponsor. Of course NASCAR came out and said that's not allowed with the LGB coin owner trying to claim paint scheme approval meant NASCAR already cleared them. They were informed that not how it works but Brandon can work with his sponsor all he wants outside track property. It sucks something outside his control took off but the way he handled it trying to garner sympathy while using the phrase wasn't smart.

There are dozens of people to blame here. The reporter who *misheard* the audience, the audience making a political chant at a sporting event while the event's winner was celebrating, the mainstream media who sensationalized this story, the vendors who sold merchandise to make easy cash off of the controversy yet never once approached the victim of the controversy to support him, the sponsor companies who didn't want to get swept up into the controversy.... take your pick. the point is, Brandon's career was ended because of circumstances entirely beyond his control, and it's not fair given how much the guy obviously cared about racing. you can blame whoever the hell you want, but it's not gonna bring Brandon back. You're just pointing fingers to find easy explanations and closure for a tremendously complex, confusing and chaotic situation, and it don't help anybody.

@brendanschuett Жыл бұрын

The phrase was already ruining his career. The sponsors had already left. In order to be able to race, he needed a sponsor, and LGB Coin was pretty much the only one willing. So, while yes, he could have said no to the sponsorship, it likely would've been the end of his career. Which is exactly what happened in actuality, as he didn't end up getting this sponsor. Had nascar approved the sponsorship, the story would be completely different, and we could be saying that the LGB chant helped his career by giving him a full season sponsor. But even then, the sponsor was likely a scam that would leave after a few races. So it was a blunder either way.

@@Megalaglag guess who enforces your right to privacy and ensures your property stays private? That's right, the government. Without the state, you don't have private property. Politics touches everything you do, choosing to abstain is a political choice and a cowardly one at that. Eat or be eaten.

Brandon has been active on twitter again and it's made this situation even more complicated. Sucks because as he says it, he had no hand in the LGB coin stuff.

It’s so interesting, I’ve been binging a bunch of videos and you and others often talk about the fan base not connecting with drivers because they were born into racing and not a working man. Brandon was a working man and the last of the “garage built” generation yet nobody can look past politics to see it.

As if I needed another reason to dislike that chant. Brandon Brown didn't deserve the hand he was dealt, he seems like a genuinely good person who's just trying to live his racing dreams. I hope he can find some way to return.

I believe the network were trying to keep their show PG by not aknowledging the language used. Of course we all seen how some turned it into a political statement. What’s really a shame is sports should be a release from our daily life and some of the fans had to bring politics to the race.
