He talked a good talk and I was wondering if he would stand tall and stand his ground however, it appears he has given in to the man...

13 hrs ago via Instagram..

"I am here for mt partners and fans.... #'s

They deserve better than the political BS of the world, I will continue to bring light on the short comings of tying to run a race team in the sport I have loved for so long.

The crual realization is eating me up but I will stand tall.
Thanks, see y'all at the races."

All part of the plan, dude. All part of the plan. You can't deny that Reed knows how to "work it".

One have to be stupid to believe that Reed was going to sit out, it would have been absolutely catastrophic for Reed and the team.

Chad is my favorite rider and has always been, but i have to say that the fly camera thing has been just painful to watch. Yes the rules suck, but ffs. It's mid season and a business man like Chad should know that it would be impossible to get away from a big contract(GoPro-MXsports/NBC/whatever) like that.

Let's just hope Chad can do some damage this season, although he doesn't want to be riding.

Chad Reed must have been home schooled.
Is that really word for word what he posted??

Hate to say it, as I have always been a Reed fan, but the guy isn't gonna do any damage this season. At all.

Honestly, I'm getting a bit tired of him. He needs to shut up and ride his dirt bike.

well of course there's more money in cars, it's called economics and everybody could have told you that from the beginning. Yes we all want riders to make more money but Reed is arguing along the lines of " I have a major in gender studies why cant i be paid like an engineer??? hurr durr"

DC perfectly explained in Racerhead the deal that GoPro has with the networks. Nothing to see here. I'm getting tired of this rant by Reed. Enough already.

If you think Chad was actually going to drop out of th series, you're not too bright. All he wanted was to bring this issue to the forefront and he did that.

I couldn't think of a better way to spend 500,000 dollars than to sponsor someone to get lapped and finish in the teens, all while whining that he's just there to "full fill obligations" and other blabla stuff.

A week ago I had never heard of this fly 360 camera gizmo. Now I have.

I'm sure Discount Tire is thrilled to hear Reed constantly saying he's there just to fulfill obligations. Or is that just more genius marketing strategy?

Maybe Chad's mad everybody has a GoPro sponsorship except him... He feels left out Sad

Give it a rest, old man, people still like seeing you go out and race (and still win sometimes), not complain on your twitter account about how life's not fair... boo-fucking-hoo. If you were unhappy making money racing bikes, maybe you should have done something different with your life (like taken an extra grammar class or two...).

This is why I never liked Chad, he always has an opinion and he always makes sure you know it

I am not sure we will see Reed next year outdoors and maybe not even indoors.

What happened to Grant?

Ffs. The worst word in the english language is the word "haters". You can't criticize anything anymore without someone calling you a "hater".

I don't hate Chad Reed. I don't hate anyone. I criticize. And Chad Reed was my idol growing up but the way he is acting is just ridiculous.

There was no plan. Just a baby pouting then realizing he has to swallow his pride and stop being stubborn
