oh, sure they would. Like Haas, an american team, racing in Rusia and meeting Putin without any issues until the entire competition had to stop due to international sanctions. Get off your high horse mate, you're getting dizzy from the hotter air
Hey guess what? I’m also pissed at that. You keep acting like this is the first time anyone has been mad at a sports team. Stop being so precious.
Edit: anything is possible when you hold people to the basic standard of “dont support fascists” https://youtu.be/6wE5HnpBRGk?si=FR1JUJfU7-xlvLuR
oh, are you mad at that? Are you so mad that you forgot it happened when you claimed it would never happen?
You're just being childish and unreasonable. You're probably the type of person who would have claimed McLaren has no business getting involved with politics is they refused to let Biden in.
“Not wanting fascists in my sports” is childish? Man this is fast cars driven by rich kids. This is billionaires measuring dicks. This sport is incredible but it isn’t so important that I’d give my team (not McLaren lol) a pass because I like their vroom vroom the best.
Every accusation is a confession. I think mixing politics and sports is fine. Great, actually. Morally correct, even. Sending black and Jewish athletes to the 1936 Olympics was political. Black athletes in the US kneeling for the anthem was political. Megan Rapinoe advocating for trans athletes is political. Hamilton wearing a pride flag in Qatar was political. McLaren accepting Trump IS POLITICAL. The difference between Trump and Biden showing up in the pit is that Biden is not an insurrectionist fascist. I think that matters, but I guess that distinction is childish to you? My guy you need to take a fucking breath.
well, if you want to go there, all americans are insurrectionists to the british. The whole world doesn't have to take part in the specifics of your internal political scene. Sort your own shit up.
This is a fascinatingly weird take
