100℅ dumb reaction on Anderson's part. Lost his cool.
But, I will say it again. DQ was extreme. It is Vogue in every sport to throw down the safety argument. " We could get sued".
All I am saying is that this could have , and should have been handled differently. The last gate pick in the main would have been appropriate. The same lession would have been learned, A top calliber racer would have been on the track and learned the same lesson.
The reality is that no one was hurt because of a less than thoughtful over reaction by Anderson.
Sometimes You Go Down......
That said, this championship got even less interesting with him suspended for the night. Ryan will win the championship and continue to be a robot. BLAHH

This behavior is below our standards.
A DQ has such a deep impact on a series, 25 possible points, can ruin a year and the training and $ and time spent is flushed away.
This is a biased opinion as I like Anderson and his style.
Friese seems to find himself in or near the shit all the time, what's going on with that guy.
Poor children have seen worse than a slap to the head and Andos instant karma.
Gallagher DQing Ando ruint his season potentailly. A fine after the evening was over would have been appropriate.
Gallagher did the same thing to Chad Reed when he blacked flagged Chad. The Douche overreacts and his seat of the pants actions should not be tolerated. BTW, Gallagher is the Fim rep, not AMA.
Gallagers overreaction to a minor incident off track should be the last straw for him.
What does NASCAR do in such situations ?They sure as hell don't ruin the show by instantly parking a top driver. They fine him and move on generally. Put him on probation ?
MX is still hands off so that it doesn't escalate to on the track. It makes moms sick when they see kids fight or crash really bad from a rider breaking another riders leg in a turn.
Grown men slap fighting in NASCAR, not so much concern from moms!
Pit Row
The promoters back in the day got all pissy and since the AMA through the FIM can award National championship's we get the FIM.
An AMA series without the FIM wouldn't work in the eyes of many. And 2 competing series would have split the riders and manufacturers and only one series would have worked.
So therefore Feld and the FIM get to run your SX series. And Douche Gallagher is who Todd Jendro likes we guess ?
Disqualifying him is a punishment people might take notice of and help prevent a similar situation in future.
On the other hand, Anderson made a goddamn fool out of himself, because he crashed as soon as he took a swipe at Friese. Maybe that shoulda been enough (even though the numb-nut announcers conveniently pretended that part never happened).

That was just silly...

The Anderson DQ was determined by his actions by podium after race where officials say he started hitting VF in helmet, not tunnel "thing"
anyone change their view on it with more information ?
