I'm not so convinced about that but sad if true. There are a lot of them out there. Just spreading the hate even more and putting a black eye on the sport imo.

They are just waiting until he wins the PDC then they'll come out lol
I don't have that shirt, but if I did,I'd wear it if I wanted to. It's a up yours to the haters and will reach a lot more people than this forum. It's also about freedom of speech. It probably isn't a proper way to act in public, but people don't seem to care about that any more. Well, some do when it's convenient. I had a old Berkoffer shirt on for FALLs. Had Babb shirt on for Farmer City and a Pierce world domination shirt on for Fan Frenzy. I spread the wealth. lol
There is no room for hate in LM dirt. It's not doing that great to start with.
I support FALS decision. As for the shirt, very disappointed it came from this team. Will always think highly of this young mans talent but the slogan on the shirt gives me a tarnished view of this teams character. This kid is the real deal and wish he would seek a way to advance his brand in a positive way.
This shirt deal is dumb, let it rest and it'll disappear, simple as that. I remember owning several Steve Austin shirts growing AS A KID watching this bald guy bang beer cans together and dump therm all over his face, and flip the bird to several million people. Some of those shirts even had skeleton hands showing the middle finger, one even said "F*CK FEAR DRINK BEER" on it. Did I wear those to school? No. I realize that wrestling is all just a big show, but it would have them same effect on a young kid as this shirt of Pierces. I don't see Bobby jumping up on top of the car dumping beer all over himself and flipping off the crowd. Steve Austin is a icon and is a hall of famer that was on tv doing the same thing every monday night for years. He is much more popular than Bobby will ever be. I don't drink, so it's not like stone cold had any affect on my life at all, he was a entertainer, just the same as Bobby is to some.
No I do not own one of these shirts, but this is America. Point being, like it or not there will be things you don't like, I don't like that other people will. Im sure people didnt like seeing a 13yr old kid walking around with a skeleton showing the middle finger, but they didn't go on rampage mentioning it every time his name was brought up. Let's just shut up and let's talk racing, I'm over seeing this shirt junk pop up on here, it's not like this stuff hasn't been seen before.
The T shirt really isn't that big of a deal except for handful of posters that can't seem to get Bobby out of their head. It would probably be best to find a new sport or activity to keep one self entertained instead of beating your head against a concrete wall over a T Shirt.
That shirt only has hate, if you want to call it that, for the haters. If you don't like him, here is a epicurean delight for you. At least t doesn't pick someone out to ridicule. This seems to be a big issue with the vary ones that bad mouth and ridicule Bobby and family. I would guess, that is exactly what the shirt was designed to do. give a little to the ones that can dish it out but can't take it. The difference is you only deserve some of that shirt if you feel you do. I can't agree with the language but, I've seen worse right here. You know if that shirt was meant for you. If it was, it's time to take some of what you dish out. By all the posts, I can see a lot not taking it too well. The thing that is disappointing, is they could have made that statement with out foul language.
Didn't Dale Earnhardt one time say he doesn't care if they were cheering or booing, as long as they were making noise.
Justifying something that is what that shirt is by giving other examples of ignorance really doesn't help your cause.
And I do say, wear it if you wanna, whatever. I'm not for censorship, but it is tasteless and I wouldn't wear it. Yeah I remember the Big Johnson shirts, I was a fan of Donnie as a kid and a teenager, and I think I had one. I wouldn't own one now as an adult, but that's just me.
I applaud FALS for telling them to take them down, and it sure as he!! is not going to hurt their fan count lol. But I probably wouldn't have, just let it go. They are shirts.
And this isn't a Bobby hating thing on the shirt, because one bad word about poor little Bobby and you're a hater. I wouldn't wear that shirt if it was Bloomquist or anyone else. And I wouldn't take my kids to any of the big races at Eldora for the reasons you mentioned. Too many drunks and ignorance.
But glad you're going to try and teach us parenting too lol, should say I'm surprised, but once again, nope.
This seems to be more your speed.
