As read by ORF on the broadcast right now, McLaren PR has reached out to media with a statement that they did not invite Donald Trump into their garage.

Trump came for an unannounced visit shortly before the start of the Miami GP.

Because he is a fascist and I expect everyone to take a strong stand against fascists

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's a bit rich to play this card with a foreign team judging by what the current polls show in the US. How about you guys sort your own shit first and then start pointing fingers ? It's not McLaren who made Trump president and it's weird to expect them to involve themselves in your presidential race regardless of your feelings towards the candidates.

Yeah youโ€™re right. Everyone should be able to smile and gladhand with fascists as long as theyโ€™re someone ELSEโ€™S fascists. /s

If Putin or Margaret thatcher (May she burn in hell) showed up in the Yankeesโ€™ dugout Iโ€™d expect them treat them like a fascist. Stop being so precious about a sport.

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? Iโ€™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 โ€œdont support fascistsโ€ 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.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

โ€œNot wanting fascists in my sportsโ€ is childish? Man this is fast cars driven by rich kids. This is billionaires measuring dicks. This sport is incredible but it isnโ€™t so important that Iโ€™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

You need to be convicted of a sex crime to be a sex offender. Otherwise Biden is a child molester.

That's a civil case not a criminal. There are significant differences in civil cases being awarded vs criminal convictions. A majority believing something happened vs every juror believing something happened beyond a reasonable doubt.

Can't say I'd be willing to die on the hill you're on - go off king !!
