This is making me sick. I have grown up in this sport, rode and raced for most of my life. I love Supercross, Motocross and everything in between. The booing needs to stop. Dylan Ferrandis is a very talented rider, he is passionate and wants to win. The fact that anyone that considers themselves a fan of this sport would show this level of ignorance is just heartbreaking. Enough is enough, the guy deserves way more respect for what he puts his life on the line to do. I can't believe my eyes seeing him get boo'd on the podium weeks later. Stands full of p*ssies.

It’s embaracing honestly, some jackass behind me wouldn’t stfu to the point where I was hoping someone of larger stature than myself would knock his bitch ass out. These guys come from all over the world for this, give them some respect it’s been 3 weeks.

Bigotry in 'Merica is alive and well.... can't imagine why?

It's an embarrassment. Dylan is sending it every week, and if he wasn't French there would be precisely ZERO of this shit going on.

Fuck it. Let them boo. Why does it bother you guys so much? It looks like to me it fuels the guy.

If you ask me, I can’t wait to see him in the 450 class with that aggression. It’s so fun to watch. Did you see him in those whoops? Like holy shit.... Whistling

Not good at all, but Dylan is a professional and will crack on until the gossip columnists focus on the next scandal. The Craig incident was a simple case of losing the front wheel and sliding out, taking them both down, and then being interviewed about the how and why before he’d even had the chance to watch it back.

But..... I do not remember the same reaction when Zach Osborne was hitting his way through the pack like a wrecking ball every week.

Honestly a lot of moto fans are trash. Cheering when pourcel (i think) crashed at pala a few years ago.

it was easy to see Ferrandis was going to put himself in position for the win tonight especially watching him blast through the whoops. What was an absolute embarrassment was waiting to see the expected reaction from the low life’s ready to boo Dylan during his interview and then not be surprised when it happened. The fan base in this sport has a couple of bad apples just like there are in everything else in this world unfortunately these clowns give a bad name to the decent people who follow and support the sport.

Bigotry doesn't only exist in "'Merica", it's everywhere so there is no need to pander.

I would only add that there is a big difference between real and actual bigotry, and over-zealous fans. A lot of American riders have been booed in the past, including but not limited to, RC and James Stewart.

They paid for tickets so they can boo all they want. You can’t fix stupid so why complain? I very much appreciate Ferrandis’ race craft and can’t wait to see him in 450’s. We’re lucky he’s racing here.

Every time he wins I pop a cork on a good French red. Chapeau, Dylan Ferrandis.

That is true, but to say that these fans are treating DF with hatred, malice, or intolerance is stretching the definitions a bit thin. Many of the comments on his social media platforms were forms of bigotry, but most sports fans in particular tend to be over-zealous, nationalistic, and somewhat biased in favor of their favorite team or rider, and so I don't think the bigotry displayed on social media represents the general consensus and should be lumped in with the fans who booed Dylan. There is a big difference between actually hating someone based on their race or nationality, and being a over-zealous fan. The difference isn't something I think should be trivialized to boos in a stadium over what is basically sports entertainment.

to many missing brain cells in the stands. you gotta understand.. these guys are putting their lives on the line to race. shit happens but they all want to win. when the crowd booed I got mad because I was cheering on a great super cross race the hole time and loving it. Dylan just needs to use this as fuel for his fire, he has everybody covered.

I mean he almost seriously injured Christian Craig. It's a miracle Criag didn't get more hurt th. Complete disregard for another rider's safety so I get people still being pissed tbh. I like Dylan but it's just booing

It’s hard not to be fan if ferrandis. He is so amazingly talented. Dude can ride. I hate hearing the boos also. It makes America seem racist against any other country. If it was anyone else from America they probably wouldn’t get booed.

There isn't one rider on that 22 man gate , that hasn't done something , either super aggressive , or just plain stupid. Dylan ain't no different. I think his attempted pass on Christain was over aggressive and kinda dumb , but that doesn;t mean I'll stop being a fan of his. He's a badass , and I love seeing him do good. I dig him being here in the states and making our series stronger. Tonight?.......he deserved every inch of that win!

This is a great thread. Lots of interesting opinions, people playing politics, and a couple hurt egos. Man, Vital hits different sometimes.
