VERSUS

 

So, who is the better individual to help further the entity that is auto racing?  Is it Danica Patrick or Dale Earnhardt Jr.?

 

I would like to know, so please enlighten me hillbillies…  If auto racing is a sport, do you accept the fact that a woman (Danica Patrick, who won her first race on Sunday in Japan) can be as good, if not better than a man?

 

In most other actual sports, mens and womens leagues are kept separate due to the fact that biologically men are stronger muscularly than women.

 

If you indeed believe that anyone from either gender has the ability to be the best racer in the world, do you think that genders should be mixed within other sports too?  Should the top WNBA players be given the opportunity to join the NBA?  Should women be preferred by racing leagues because of their marketability to other demographics (mainly other women that NASCAR doesn’t capture)? And if said female is considered “pretty,” it could mean that they are marketable to men for different reasons (e.g. do a google image search for Danica Patrick, and see what the first 20 pics are).  Would you be comfortable seeing a NASCAR covered in Tampax, Monistat, or Victoria’s Secret decals?  This could mean a change of everything you left-turning hicks love!

 

Or, if you believe that men are superior athletes, and becuase you still think drivers are athletes, they are therefore superior behind the wheel.  This would have you believing that Danica is just a freak of nature?  NASCAR is perfect as is, and 98% of the drivers will remain men, because men are simply better at driving.

 

So, which box would you like to get put into?  Are you in favor of making NASCAR a more feminine-influenced entity?  Or are you a sexist chauvinist pig?  This is open for discussion!
