How can I defend my favorite sport Nascar against the people that love the ball and stick sports of America?

alexnedd2 asked:


Hey Nascar fans, I love Nascar. But nothing makes me mader then having other people who know nothing about the sport, criticize it. “All they do is make left turns,” Ughrrrrr!!! That comment totally gets on my nerves. What can I do?

Point to the lack of drugs involved in NASCAR.

It’s a battle you can’t win. You just keep enjoying it and let them do the same.

Go HARVICK!

Oh and I agree with Public Enemy (above) when was the last time you heard about a NASCAR driver using performance enhancing drugs, being convicted of dog fighting, shooting someone or domestic abuse. Point well made.

Nascar is dumb. It’s a bunch of cars driving around in a circle. No point. Watch cars drive down your street- basically the same thing.

I know what you mean. I **** it to when they say F1 is the best racing ever, and Nascar is not a sport. Tell them to shove it where the sun don’t shine! Nascar is one of the most rising sports in the world. And another thing why are F1 and IRL drivers coming to NASCAR!
NASCAR Forever!!
GO Truex!!! 2008

You don,t have to defend anything…They show their stupidity by making these comments…To the people that say the drivers aren,t athletes let see tiger woods spend 3 hours in a 120 degree car!!!Is chasing a white ball and hitting it with a club a sport?Hell they don,t even carry their own clubs or break out in a sweat!!!

maybe they just like to pick on you. or maybe you associate with a buncha creeps. Either way let them say what they want, because you know better. You just have to have a little more dignity than the sarcastic people. They’re the ones who have to live like that, not you. Be cool dude, NASCAR fans rock!

You dont have to defend your sport at all–The World would be a Dull place if we all were the same!!!! Just tell them WHATEVER!!!! The are just trying to get under your skin with theTeasing–Kill them with Silence!!!

to those that understand no explination is necessary…to those that do not understand, no explination will suffice, dont waste your time

Just say I like what I like you like what you like and get over it. If you think about it you can break down any sport into it’s simple basics and point out that it is futile.

I always tell them there in the minority since Nascar is #2 on T.V. behind the NFL.

Then I tell them that I understand and enjoy stick and ball sport’s AND Nascar but they only understand stick and ball sports.

If they still carry on I tell them that Baseball is called “The National Past-Time” because there just passing time until a race starts somewhere!

No need to defend the GREATEST sport!!!!

NASCAR RULES!!!!!
NASCAR FANS RULE!!!!!

Just tell the stick and ball sport guys, it only takes one ball to play their game.

I empathize with you. I truly dislike when others make derrogatory statements regarding any sports, especially without knowing enough about the sport to make an educated comment.

Sadly though, there is nothing you can do to “make” someone stop their criticism. Humans have this thing called free-will, and just like it sounds, they will do what they want no matter what.

The only thing that we can do is ignore them and continue to have either educated disagreements, or make the same comments we had planned on making in the first place.

Nascar tickets a little cheaper! than sittin on cold seat in stadium and beer is $6.00 in a 10oz. plastic cup!
Amercias sport to expensive limit player contracts too!! tickets to high!!!!! all tickets any game should be $14.00 dollars thats all!!!!

For one thing how boring is baseball, watching a bunch of over-paid men trying to hit a ball and run around a field. It is so bad they have to take drugs to play the game. Then you take a NASCAR race or for that matter any car race. There is much more excitement watching cars that are within just a few inches or sometimes farther apart but they are driving sometimes over 200 mph. They have to be thinking constantly on what they are doing and watching what the other drivers are doing. If you have been to a race in person you really should understand the speed that they are driving. I think once people see a race in person they have a different outlook on racing. Sports should be different because people are different and like different things. Nascar is exciting for me and my family but we also enjoy football, and other sports. Everyone should watch and enjoy the sports they like and leave the others alone. It is not a contest on sports. I would say however that baseball really has some serious problems.

I’m tired of the insults too!!!
They run in circles (always left,I might add). So what makes their sport any better than ours??? At least our guys can go 200 mph and their not grabbing their crotch all of the time!!!!!

Go Kasey Go!!!

I LOVE NASCAR!!!!!!!! I had a football fan ask me how I could “get into” watching cars go a round in a circle for 500 miles. I said how can you watch grown men fight over one ball and run back and forth with it when they have other balls to worry about

J BSeptember 30th, 2008 at 1:28 am

Ignore them. It’s tough enough to get Bristol tickets, let them go to the ballpark.

No other fans are cooler to each other, no other athletes support charities like NASCAR does, the list keeps going.

Let them cheer on their thugs and drugs.
