Geez,

If you can kind of tell that somebody didn't intend to insult someone by calling them something like "Yankee" why even act offended.

I was born in Texas and have lived all over the south.

I could care less if anybody calls me Yankee, especially when discussing a sport we all love.

Some people just seem to feel left out unless they are offended by something.

Uh, Dude.

You were born in Texas.....You're not a Yankee.

If you were born north or the Mason/Dixon line you are a Yankee......Perhaps then you would take affront to being called a Yankee.......

I'm offended your don't know your heritage...

This whole deal with Tomac is such corporate crap. I expect this sort of thing in stick and ball sports and auto racing, but not here. Monster pours a lot of money into this sport, no doubt. But when they start sabotaging events by redirecting riders to their pet races, that's bullshit. The sport was smaller, but we did just fine before the energy drinks came along. Wouldn't care a bit if they packed up and left.

As far as the whole Yankee thing, even here in MD (border state for you Aussies), the term carries a negative connotation. Especially in rural areas. That said, anyone who is truly offended by it would be called a "bitch".
I dont understand the last word " bitches" i thought that soon you are all going to be Trumps " bitches".

But yeah, I'm generally not a fan of sponsors steering riders and teams to one event over another.
Why is that? They pay them to race where they want them to race. How are these one-off races any different then SX or the nationals in that respect? Isnt it part of their contracts?

Aren't market demographics the largest factor in advertising investments? Why would they sponsor a rider to race outside of their target demo?

Ok so What I take from this is the term Yankees is frowned upon but the term Yanks is cool if coming from a Eurospastic? Tongue

Crush I'm 5 beers in and now you just made me even more confused, I might need a trip to the land down under for a vegemite sandwich to get me head straigh!!!

I agree it is lame "greasy" that monster or RB require the riders to compete in events they are not contracted for. Especially here they are racing over 30 weekends a year... It's tough to stay peaked physically and mentally for that long.

All this talk about 22 round SX is getting out of hand!!!!

Tomac is paid by and signed a contract with Monster which I would think does Not say You are not allowed to race the MXON.

So what does it make Mathes
A Yankees Bitch or a Septic Tanks Bitch.

Back in the 60s and early 70s i always thought Yanks and Aussies were well received around the world. It got to a stage where it was a tossup as to who was hated the most. The winners were the yanks due to the weight of numbers but fuk we won the Drinking contest.
