I seem to recall that in 1982 maybe, D!ck Trickle was running for the ASA national championship and he missed one of the 19 races on the schedule for his daughter Vickie's wedding. Another one of those days a father doesn't want to miss. D!ck won five races on the tour and ultimately finished second in points that year to Mike Eddy (by 57 points). D!ck had the most top 5s and top 10s that year too and almost made the deficit up. He chose a family decision which probably cost him a championship.
Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.
