Interestingly enough, he wasn't actually suspended... but he thought he was.

Long story... Team benched him and he also thought he had to complete some sort of anger management course to be allowed to race again. Somewhere along the way, something was miss-understood, because taking an anger management course isn't even something that FIM/AMA can hand out as a penalty

Hansen was retaliating for McElrath accidently pushing him off the track at Anaheim 1 when a misplaced tough block got in his way....

I thought the team sent him on the course - to save face and prove that they had penalized him?

I honestly wish I could...but I believe this sort of behavior in the sport holds us back and keeps people of means from entering the sport...I recently tried to sponsor a local rider to have the bike sabbotaged by rivals from beef from a looong time ago...I understand the concept but I was the one footing the bill....what Hanny does is backsided and vengeful behavior completely centered around himself...imo he should feel fortunate to be out there at all at this point in his career and is only so because of his father...so at it's best it is just nepotism....

Had a ride, got in trouble for aggressive riding, had a misunderstanding for what he had to do to ride, went on a downward spiral involving drinking and bad decisions, got his shit together, started riding again, now he's back at the races.

Hanny is one of the few big name dudes that truly loves to ride and doesn't see it as a job.

You just quoted every many highly regarded people of the sport...competing and retaliating are different....take Bowers for instance....he is just riding his style he learned in Arenacross and Webb (his training partner) showed him what was up on that...that situation is different and I believe goodhearted if it is controlled and/or stops....

They're all riders who have hit people back because they've been hit. Simple as that. Rubbing is racing. Always has been.

Unless it's a t-bone, or an air take out, who the fuck cares.

Bowers and Webb are totally different...Hanny has worn out his welcome in my opinion...just my opinion...

You are right...no one should have the power to kick anyone out of anything...but I think his actions and the reasons behind them should be addressed for his sake and others....and perhaps I am wrong...perhaps McElrath intentionally bumped him for some reason unknown to us all...maybe McElrath was expressing his opinion on Hanny and Hanny was just protecting himself...I suppose no one knows...so perhaps it is best for me to recant...I stand behind the AMA on their decision that retaliation is unacceptable...

That corner was more to blame than Hanny. Ever think he could not turn any tighter? Saw lots of bumping in that corner all day. Go cry somewhere else. Pretty sure Hanny earned everything he has on his own merit. He's tied for a title before and won lots of races. What have you done that gives youthe right to judge?

I don't believe my point is to bitch....more to work on establishing rules of propriety in our sport for the safety of the riders and the sport itself....

I think he deserves some credit, for listening to others, admitting he might be wrong and apologizing.

What?

So the black flag is justified because other people are invested?

Well, that rider order stack on the left hand side of your tv screen, multiple banners around the track and a whole race team are funded by Discount Tyre...
