BUT... It's retarded that you knock a real contender out of the title chase, basically spitting in the face of his sponsors, for a tiny transgression against a serial pest – one who will 100% get away with more shit this year, and who's sponsors are likely to feature in the press for when their manager or team member does something else dopey... Which one brings the sport into more disrepute?
And regarding who's making the decisions, well, I'd argue there is a problem there too... because one is a complete fuckup of an organisation, represented by a single dude who's rulings are hastily made, who has literally been overhead laughing at rider's misfortune from a ruling he presided over... and the other doesn't give a shit about anything but its pockets at the cost of EVERYONE else in the sport it promotes... So between the two of them, why anyone would question any ruling is probably the thing to remember. Shame on me!
Every incident – Bar Peick going Hulk Smash – and penalty should just be reviewed after the race like F1. There is too much money involved for the cowboy bullshit. End of story.
That said, can't wait to see Anderson back out there next week with some good ole fire in his belly.
But,
Holy cow, start using your head for something other than a damn helmet warmer.
You can't keep having inspiring rides and then complete brain fart after passing the checkered flag.
I hope while he was taking his gear off in the hauler while the main was playing on the tv he gave a little thought to some follow through focus.
He has the speed, he works his ass off. Maybe focusing a little more would make him the real contender.

It is necessary to stop this before end in big fights in the pits.

In addition, Jenny Taft reported that Jason went to the line for semi and did not know of DQ? Are you kidding me? So you humiliate Jason by removing him from the line, let's really get him pissed off. Jenny said Jason was confused and thought he was going directly to LCQ after being told of DQ on line for semi. WTF, for this severe of penalty you FACE to FACE with Rider and Team Manager, pause the night show if needed, the AMA are a bunch of clowns.
Specially as it was right in front of the kids.
Did Anderson mess up...yes....and he knows it. Did he deserve to have the entire night's program stopped. No! People will get upset at on-track incidents. There should be room in the rules that facilitate the penalty to fit the crime. The amount of money involved is simply too big.
You know what else? I think its totally bush that Gallagher communicated the penalty to TV before he'd even told the racer and team. Totally bush IMHO. Jenny was put in the odd position of being the one to tell Jason.
IF the decision wasn't made in a split second, with absolutely no time to think about it, then this problem probably wouldn't exist. Here's another idea....give Jason a warning when he got back to the pits that any sort of physical crap against Friese for the rest of the night will result in harsher penalty than he is already facing. To just eject him was too severe.

What if video was found this morning showing Vince or his mechanic started the interaction? You cannot undo a disqualification. I bet the "Gay AMA", like Jason Lawrence calls them, didn't even fill the empty spot on the Semi Final starting line with the alternate, 41st qualifier.
Let's say that one day there's another crash together with two riders and unbeknown to one rider the other is laying there with serious spinal injuries. He's angry and he kicks him... Doesn't bear thinking about. This is why you don't create an atmosphere where that type of behaviour is routine and acceptable.
Pit Row
Jason had no reason to be upset with Vince though. Vince did nothing wrong.
I'm ready for the pendulum to swing back, just a little. Again, Anderson was wrong. No argument with that. He slapped a guy's helmet
Not hard, while riding a motorcycle next to him. It wasn't a bitch slap or a punch or kick.
I don't know what everyone does for a living here but, nothing in life is black and white. We can't make decisions on some false premise that of we don't hammer Anderson we will loose all control.
Escalating discipline, starting with the last gate pick in the main, seems much more appropriate. Of it happens again the punishment gets more severe.
Sometimes You Go Down.....
I bet Monster is absolutely panicking right now. I just hope they don't pull support mid-season.
