Matt Walker...way to treat your customers???
Cotter...how what this even allowed to happen. What man does this to a kid? Get him out of the sport!
Monster you knew the rules and sent the bike. The rules are followed and you and your group of thugs put a stop to it.
All those people/companies won't but should feel very ashamed. The entire group of them are trash.

Wait, thats cancell culture...... Burn the whole organization to the ground because of the actions of a few..
None of what is going on has anything to do with people saying that they won't buy a bike because someone they don't know, or probably won't ever meet possibly did something wrong.
Nothing will change the validity of the bike claim. Or the purpose of the rule. The kid was in the right to do what he did. But there’s way more to this story and in order to figure out who to shit on and how hard, some of us wanna know the further details.
I dont think I’ve seen a single person call into question the bike claim. Yet that is the counter argument when this situation is discussed. Weird.
Motivation, intention and where the money came from doesn't matter. He made the claim, he didn't get the bike. Yamaha sucks. The end.
Money source is not in the rule book.
It’s not cancel culture. It’s brand representation within the marketplace. I, along with others on this board, am not particularly fond of hearing that a senior executive, representing said brand, was willing to corner, blackmail, and strong arm a 17 year old kid who did nothing other than follow the rules outlined within the AMA rule book.
Cancel culture would be claiming that the Yamaha corporation should be shut down in its entirety. I, on the other hand, am simply stating that I won’t spend my own discretionary income on the Yamaha brand if the statements within the story turn out to be true. You sir, can spend your money however you want. That’s the difference.
Pit Row
Details?
Lies about drinking that night.
Lies about having past relations with said rapist.
Lies about past promiscuity.
Now I wonder if the victim was indeed raped.
See how that works?
It doesnt matter if the engine builder put the money up. So why lie about it then? If you're willing to lie about this, then it's only fair to question how the meeting with Donnie Luce and Matt Walker went down.
The kid never should have dropped the claim. But he did. And now everyone is asking him why. You dont think there is any realm of possibility that he could be trying to save a little face by embellishing his version a bit?
If the truth was, "this was a stunt that me and my engine builder came up with, I thought it would be cool to do some YouTube videos on the bike, but boy was I not expecting the drama that it caused at the races, and my main sponsor did not want to be associated with it so I dropped the claim" then how are we all shitting on MXSports or Star right now?
Now do I think that the kid's balls shrunk and that is why the claim was dropped? Not at this stage, no I dont. But prior to asking a few questions, it had crossed my mind.
Im just not one to rush to judgement in these situations. Be it a rape accusation or mini race drama. 99% of the time it's never cut and dry in either case.
It does not matter one bit of someone's background or history, if a person doesn't consent to sexual contact, then it's rape.
yak651 brought rape into this. Somehow confusing credibility with justification. Two totally different things.
At no point have I questioned the justification of the bike claim. I've questioned the credibility of everyone involved with this mess. And repeatedly I've been told that credibility of the victim doesnt matter because so many are pot committed to their stance on this whole shit show.
Im just having a hard time to think that PC would fuck up a thing like this in the same way as Star / Deegans just did.
If Brian has been a smarter dad, he would have locked in Haiden in the trailer and said ”you stay here and don’t say shit until this is over.”
Instead Brian is acting like a cunt against the kid who claimed the bike and Lett Haiden stroll around the pits and doing stupid things.
If i were star there would have been some serious talk with the Deegan family after how bad the two of them handeled a thing they had nothing to do with.
I REALLY hope this comes back to bite both Haiden and Brian in the future.
I sure wish Schofield had the mind to stop and say "Guys, I'm going to record this conversation" when he was in the room with Cotter and Deegan. I get it, you're 17 and the "shine" hasn't been taken off the way the world works yet.
He seemed credible to me. It'll be interesting to see other big players statements....IF they are ever made.
Really bad look for Yamaha on what they pulled....and I've been a lifelong Yamaha fan. Not so keen....
Respect to Weege for calling out his "employer" on the missteps this year in that vid posted earlier.
He claimed a bike as per an AMA rule and never got the bike.
Never says anything in the rule book about where money comes from, if you have a beef with the bikes owner, if your engine guy wants to look inside engine.
You can do want you want with the bike.
