Thoughts on Talladega track bans 14 fans for life

A response to Talladega track bans 14 fans for life

I guess my first thought is 14?  out of more than 300 in the section?

Wow!  I thought based on the reaction of some that there must have been hundreds behaving horribly at Sunday's race.  So, this is shocking.  I didn't watch so I'm wondering if this number of individuals are the total number or if someone out there believes there were more involved?

My second thought is, based on the titles of this weeks blogs, such as Earnhardt Fans Need to Clean Up Their Act, #3 Fans, and Show Some Class (not to pick on any one, just taking them from memory)....but how can ALL fans be called on the carpet for 14 people's actions?  Isn't that like saying all Republicans are rich, or all College Grads are smart? 

My third thought is really a product of the rants and raves and bickering I've read lately...but after reading almost all entries, I haven't read that any one person gave any consideration to one very important group of individuals -- I've seen comments about NASCAR Mgt., Track Officials, Drivers, Fans, Kids, Coolers, ####, Whitetrash, REAL Fans, Classless Fans, etc. but I've seen where no one has taken into consideration Track Workers.  I know they're getting paid to watch the race in some folks opinion, but when your day of fun at the track is over and you head back to your freshly made hotel bed, or your own home (where you'd never throw trash on the floor or yard and leave it), these folks have to clean up the mess.  So, here's to all Track Workers.

And lastly, cheers too ALL the fans that didn't participate in such disturbing, embarrassing behavior, all 149,986 of you that were estimated to be in attendance.  GOOD JOB!
