Who agrees with Anderson's DQ?

He cut down in traffic, nobody got hurt thankfully, even the love tap in the tunnel. Punishment did not fit the offense, imo, go to the lcq make him qualify on a 2 stroke next race

I think that's a bit off base. He's certainly aggressive, but that's not being an asshole.

I wish Seely had just a little bit more of Anderson's aggressive style, he'd be winning some races on a regular basis!

Anderson just had a bad meltdown. He's 23, I think the majority of us made some bad decisions like this at that age or even older. I think he'll catch fire after this. I hope so, anyway.

I approve of this post. As stated before great example for the kids. I guess luckily for them they had that fence between them and this dude and his flying bike. Imagine if the fence was not there and he wiped some kids out? Punk.

I do not agree with DQ, but am adult enough to accept it is the current rule and observant enough to notice a few things.(Outside of who the riders are and which one you like more/less, and who you think is dirtier.) The instant DQ rule is bad for business in a sport with a long history of these rather lame harmless altercations. Especially when you have guys in their 20s laying their life on the line as a practice. Lets face it, theyre not exactly drawing blood in the pits or beating the crap out of each other when this stuff goes down. Even the Pieck swingfest last year put Peick's knuckles in more danger than Freise's head. Retaliation via takeout is more dangerous than shoving and cussing. Many here talk about the lack of growth of this sport. Consider the idea that the sport needs these types of run-ins. Advertise the altercations in your promos, then DQ riders when a sissy fight breaks out and the fans see the hypocrisy and recognize when a promoter says ok go lay it on the line and risk your life for the paycheck but dont act like a normal red blooded young man when your emotions get the best of you, or we will immediately take away your incentive to run the remaining rounds by totally screwing your points position. (Other sports examples have already been pointed out for these situations, fines, probations, penalties, then ejections for xtremes and repeats.) IMO, the punishment process needs re-evaluation. It is obvious the tension between riders is a selling point for the promoters, much like Nascar and other forms of racing, so maybe the sport actually benefits in viewership from these situations just like the other forms of racing and it has to be controlled but not totally squashed. Mx/Sx does have paying customers that come to see the crashes and pissing matches just as much as they come to see the talents of the fastest. Then there are fans who follow the points chase and are also turned off by the hardness of the rule when a rider loses major points over something comparibly minor with other sports in mind.
Anderson screwed up, the punishment process needs more thought put into it.
As for the example it might set for the kids, just let the kids know that it is unacceptable behavior and punish them as you see fit as a parent on top of what the local track rules are. Kids can be taught let's hope, if not we are totally screwed with everything they are exposed to these days.
Lastly, as someone else stated. Major mistake on Husqvarnas part by not getting to and reigning in Anderson full well knowing he'd be heated especially already knowing what the rules and punishments are. That is one of the jobs of the team. Stay focused on the prize and stear clear of the pitfalls.

How did the NHL survive for 100 years when a fight is punished by a 5 minute penalty? And apparently hockey produces thousands of psychopaths who are a menace to society, exposing children to such violence. Oh wait, hockey is a bush league second rate sport with a niche following....

Your point may make a small amount of sense if the riders put skates on and rode around an ice rink.

But they don't, and it doesn't.............

I agree with DQ even though it was a little harsh punishment. On the other hand if there was more to it than a bitch slap to the helmet in the tunnel, the DQ was necessary, just as an example so that other riders in the future will think twice before letting emotions get the best of them.

On a side note, I like watching Jason racing, it's entertaining, but obviously he doesn't really mind getting his hands a little dirty. Should have taken a couple of deep breaths and beat Friese on the track. He's not a kid anymore, he's a PRO racer, paid to race and act professional on and off the track.

If Dungey bitch slapped/punched/kicked some other rider after the race, I would agree with DQ too. Rules are rules, plain and simple. BTW. Made me smile just imagining Ryan doing anything like this.

Likely everyone hasn't seen this yet?

Yep, right in front of the whole stadium. That's why he got DQ'd.

JA, used to be cool now he can't pass anyone without trying to put them in the dirt. That was his frustration from being too slow to make an easy pass. I'm glad he got the penalty he deserved. Hope he gets a fine as well. Who hits someone with a helmet on? He is now fully on Weston Peick level of retard.

"Punch". Interesting open handed punching technique

Two times, for me, also DQ for next race, one race for every punch.

In the heat of the moment. Sorry, let him get a warning / fine / etc. Next offense, do whatever you want. Ban him for the season if you want. Don't put him 30 plus points down on Dunge. It's AMA/FIM karma. They go over the top with a DQ of Anderson and as a thank you gift lose the points leader in the main. Monster/FELD needed their "drama", they got it and then some. If this event isn't live, this DQ doesn't happen!

How 'bout the "ghost ride". What's that worth in 2017 penalties? 2 year suspension same as Adderall?

Kiedrowski cleared the finish-line jump, popped the clutch on his factory Kawasaki SR250 and ghost-rode his bike into LaRocco’s factory Kawasaki. From there Kiedrowski confronted his teammate, citing dirty riding.....Mike Kiedrowski’s temper cost him, as the AMA slapped him with a $1000 fine. LaRocco, for his part, was required to pay $400. A livid Kiedrowski came storming back and won the second moto. He went 2-1 for the Red Bud National overall.

The HERO's of our beloved sport need to take out of the stadium, did you see the KTM kids faces when that went down? Bummer, I think Anderson is the "TRUTH" and would put up a hell of a fight for the lead at some point of the season.

I agree with the DQ because it looks bad for supercross. Also I think Vince is a fast racer that doesn't roll over for the factory guys so that's big in my book.

Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Anderson DQ for a night? He need DQ for 2 races!
It was stupid move, again. Like on MXoN.
