no. But outside of a simple question, the topic appears to have been dropped. How many other topics simply get dropped cause of the dismissive "no comment".

Davi's locker?
Lasergate?
Stewart's status?

The list is endless. Even in our current season, Barcia damn near t-bones KR and the most response we get is from Barcia's freaking IG page. It's pathetic.

EDIT - STewart's status was referencing when JS7 was set to line up and then never did. It was a complete blackout involving the sports largest star...and not ONE of the moto journalists seemed to have any ability to get status.

There have been rumours of a lawsuit from Blake, if that is the case it is likely that neither party is legally allowed to discuss it.

Journalism in the sport often leaves a lot to be desired but this seems like it may be a case where there isn't much you can do.

I like blake, great rider. But look at the field this year. Its stacked. Blake would be a non factor if he was out there and the casual fan probably doesn't even realize he isn't. Regardless of what Butler owes him if he thought he had a chance at winning some races this year he would have been out there. His wrist is jacked and I think this is his chance to step away from the sport and be able to point to some other reason as to why.

A bit harsh but i somewhat agree. Not once during these race days have i thought about Baggett. Of course it would be good to have him on the gate but it just shows that with the current field we have, even a guy like Baggett is dispensable from an entertainment point of view.

Obviously this doesn't apply if you're a die hard Blake Baggett fan. But i wonder how many there are of those?

then maybe they should report on those rumors, just like every major sport does. That doesn't make them TMZ...it's how journalism works.
