Thoughts...after getting home from Luxemburg

[dirtcrazy4u]

It's a TEE SHIRT. People bash the kid constantly. Some think Bloomer is going to be around until he is wearing diapers. After all the crap that's been said about him on 4m I could see why he came up with the shirt. Nobody is holding anyone hostage to run out and buy it. People that talk sh** on him constantly need to remember this kid is young. Maybe he's had enough and hopes to sell as many shirts as possible just to piss all the haters off. Count them at the world 100, if he has any left.

Yes I agree. The people b!tching are the ones I expected to b!tch...the pierce fans love it! Again, if you don't like it, eat sh!t, for real EAT IT! Lol hahahaha

Sorry, I have to disagree with you on this one. I know a couple of HUGE Bobby Pierce fans, and they both are not happy at all about this shirt. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I've seen plenty of Pierce fans make comments about how this shirt was a bad idea.

Blinded by infatuation ......I'm not a hater by any means, but if getting a silly message to all the 4 m haters is more important than acting like the professional you are trying to be then you can pretty much write the rest of the Bobby pierce ambitions over and done with.Your post is confusing.....you say the shirts are for his 4 m haters yet in the same paragraph ( and in your post above I use that term lightly) you say he doesn't give a dang about 4m.I did stupid things as a kid too, this one is one of bobbys.

Let's talk about this shirt. Btw I have zero affiliation with Pierce. It's a shirt. So far, everyone on here says the shirt is bad for children, sponsors, and image. That seems to be what everyone brings up. First sponsors. How many of you sponsor Pierce? None? Well I think that should be left up to the sponsors decide. You know what I mean? I mean if his sponsors have a problem with the shirts then I'm sure they would tell Pierce and they would promptly taken off the shelves. As far as future sponsors, some will love it and some will hate it you'll never make everyone happy. Secondly the image. Some might find the Bloomquist crotch chop equally or more so offensive. The shirt pretty much says how he feels. I'm Bobby f**cking Pierce. I am me. I am who I am. (Goes back to you can't please everyone) if you don't like me for who I am, if you are going to talk crap about me, that's fine "eat sh*t" Who doesn't feel like that? If you one of your friends talked sh*t about you, lied about you, wouldn't you tell them to hit the bricks aka eat sh*t? So pretty much if you don't like him eat sh*t. Lastly the kids. The most delecate of all. If they are old enough to decipher F**cking then they are old enough not to worry about what a shirt says. No worse than a pot plant on a shirt, or any other potentially inappropriate tee shirt. Now if the ones you worry about are a little younger, then here is a question I have for you. How do they know what the work f*cking means? How do they know it's bad? How do they know the middle.finger is bad? The only way would be if they heard it used or seen around the people they are around, you! So if your "little" kid is offended by F**cking, shame on you! Why would you teach your kid that at a young age? It's a shirt. If you don't like it don't buy it. it's just a shirt. He can get bashed but if he gives a little of it back he is 4m enemy number one and anyone who likes him is a boobyflake, and can't have an opinion on here without feeling the wrath. Lighten up Francis. Just my opinion of the shirt. Let him have a little banter with his haters. If your truly offended then that shirts for you.

Maybe Gerald Newton is partly behind this. 4000 hits about a T shirt? This could be a Pierce/Newton collaboration.

The bait was set, and the bobber has disappeared. Fish ON!

One thing I have to say is I don't know of to many sponsors that would be happy with that image but, it's their right as a race team to do want they want and then they and not anyone else will have to endure what ramifications come from it.

I know if I was a sponsor I would go to them and tell them I could not support this. It's bad for business.

I understand what your trying to say about kids already seeing this or things just as bad but, that doesn't make it right. I didn't go around and encourage my son to keep saying cuss words just because he may have heard them from me or anyone else for that matter.

Bloomer race there in 2015 for 5k show. Same year JD was unstoppable seem like. I guess people that say he only loads for 10k or better, not so true.

In 2015 Scott dropped in @ F.C. for the $6000 preliminary night and spanked the field only to pull out that night Baltimore Colt style and skip the big pay day(Illini 100). So yes, you are right. Scott DOES race for less than 10000 doughnuts when the logistics are right.

If a shirt of this nature was good for business, you would see them everywhere.

As the old saying goes, there is no such thing as bad publicity. People forget things like Earnhardt (the old man), when he was coming up, before the #3 goodwrench car, he was criticized for his aggressive driving. Take the Busch brothers, it used to be every week they were taking turns fighting someone in the pits. Image? Has t hurt them much I'd say. Can't imagine a shirt ruining ones career.

Smooth32...so you are saying that "fans who are offended by the shirt, that shirt is for you." Being that many Bobby Pierce fans are indeed offended by the shirt, by this logic of yours I guess he is the first late model driver to come out and tell some of his own fan base to "eat sh*t". I get what you are trying to say, to me however it isn't as simple as saying this shirt is for all the "Bobby haters", because in in turn you are alienating a broad base of Bobby fans (who disagree) and even a possible future fan base as you continue to mature into a veteran late model driver. You think the Pierce Posse was the first ones who ever wanted to slap this on a t-shirt?

Go to Eldora in September. You'll see them everywhere.

[turnleftandgasit]

I don't go to Eldora. If I wanted to be around a bunch of drunks, I could go to my local bar.

Were these same fans you speak of that are offended, were they also offended when the great fans of fals slapped a derogatory decal on his hauler? I mean they physically defaced his personal property and it was applauded on here. What did Pierce do? He had fun with it. He didn't whine, he laughed even though I'm sure he didn't like it. So if he's gonna lose a fan over a shirt I don't think they are much of a fan. Don't buy it.

Not everyone that goes to Eldora is a drunk!

[turnleftandgasit]

Did I say everyone........No I did not. Are you saying there isn't a bunch of drunks there? Seems to me most people that go describe it as a party that a race broke out at. I choose to not deal with that. Most people I know that don't go anymore say that dealing with the drunks is what ran them off.

There are drunks at every track. There are more at Eldora because there is 50000 fans there vs 2000
