No the point of this one wasn’t to hash out what might have happened etc it is to discuss only where do we go from here

Maybe the deegans should and Tim cotter should take Brennan and the engine builder to court for misleading and lying about events and how they happen . Deegans can show since southwick from Brennans social media post that he had it out for the Deegans the whole time and was just jealous and envy of Hayden and was just tying to drag their name through the mud I’m sure his social media post about haiden would look very bad in court


We get that but again you obviously don’t comprehend that none of that matters lol. No one in court or nowhere in the rule book does it say “ he’s mean to me on instagram” and he should pay a penalty! He could hate them from the bottom of his heart and blow up his social media and it’s irrelevant, you realize this right? Just so we are clear, that doesn’t matter one bit. You can claim what you want haha you don’t have to like the person.

From DC, on RacerX...

"Any rider in any class at Loretta Lynn’s has the right to claim another rider in the same race’s bike for double the MSRP (about $17K in the case of a ’22 YZ250F). Brennan Schofield knew the rules, saved up his own money and claimed another bike in the race, Haiden Deegan’s. The Deegans were upset because it’s apparently Haiden’s last amateur bike; Star Yamaha Racing were upset about it because a lot more than $17K goes into one of their bikes, as it’s no longer just the trick parts that make up a race package these days, but all of the ECU and data information and R&D and whatnot that a team like Star Yamaha Racing has invested in their program. In my personal opinion Haiden Deegan did not need a bike that was on par with what the pro riders will be using here at Unadilla tomorrow to win an amateur race, so it was risky for the team to send him out on a bike that they didn’t want to risk handing over to someone who claimed it, even if for double the price. I believe there needs to be a claiming rule for amateurs to help keep the playing field even, at least in regards to equipment, and I know Tim Cotter and Mike Burkeen feel the same way. And I can promise you neither cared whether the bike got claimed or not, they just wanted to make sure it was the rider’s decision, both to claim it and then later to un-claim it, and that it was all handled properly. That said, anything else that happened with this deal away from them and the MX Sports’ office trailer is a different story…"



All reasonable, but Tim and Mike both are not completely clean from initiating the “ why are you doing this” agenda.

Snowballed from there obviously. Lets hope the rule gets handled more professionally next time.

What do these screenshots prove to you and why do you believe they are relevant in any way? You aren't making any sense.

Why did the AMA and MXSports allow anyone to harass or even talk to the kid in the first place? If someone puts in a claim, that person should be protected from harassment and threats immediately. It all should have been a very simple process according to the rule book.
I'm sure a Lawyer would love to sue the AMA for dropping the ball!

Because the kid had it out for Deegan over jealousy and envy of not having what Haiden has and then try’s to drag mx sports Tim cotter and the Deegan s through mud and make them out to look like the bad people . He was misleading on how the events went down and wasn’t telling the truth that’s why it matters

This is my thought, extortion, bribery, intimidation on a minor, several legal issues in my eyes but again I’m not an attorney. I think with what’s already been admitted, if you start handing out subpoenas for version of events, testimonies etc that people in the know will start spilling much more to point directly at the real problem. If it ever got to that degree which (I hope it doesn’t if star builds a bike for him) and (ama issues some penalties) it will go away. But that would bring the truth, kinda turn the table and pressure them the way they did you type thing

I don't think people realize how much civil lawsuits cost or that only in rare cases in America does one recoup the legal fees incurred to make the claim. You'd be deposing everyone, including the different people who have made content interviewing parties. I can't even imagine the costs just for cell phone ediscovery.

I can't tell you how many times people want blood, are convinced they need to make someone pay, and then start blanching when the $10,000 to $50,000 bills per month start flowing. Taking this to trial would probably be a couple hundred grand per party.

And it would settle, because people don't want to pay that money. And then you all don't get to know (as if a jury verdict one way or another wouldn't sway anyone's opinion now given how invested people are in this drama).

The first thing that I ask someone who want to sue is whether this is what he wants to do for the next couple years. The opportunity costs are immense. You really have to want to get even to embark on that if it is not going to reap a substantial return.

Criminal proceedings are entirely in the discretion of the prosecuting attorney.

So what would be a sensible resolution in that context. Set the kid up. Revise the rules to better provide explicitly what happens when the claim is made in terms of who speaks to whom and who makes decisions. It's too late to do that when the situation drops and people are agitated, which almost everyone here would be in those circumstances. Unless there is rule someone cannot be present, or must be present, it's to late to be making that up when things go down.
What should happen but won't. AMA steps in, enforces the claim, then hands down suspensions to the people that tried to bully Brennan. End of story! Lessons learned! It's that simple.

Let's start a GoFundMe to take Matt Walker to court!

This situation really strikes a nerve with me because of the power differential between Brennan and the other parties involved. There was a complete abuse of power which is ethically wrong especially against a minor. What's even worse is that the parties involved have done nothing to right their wrong. Star Yamaha should cut the kid a deal on a bike similar to Deegan's and offer a day of testing to dial it in for him, or something along those lines. I know they wouldn't want some of their "secret weapon" parts in the bike but at least sell him something reasonable for the money he was going to use to claim the bike.

after his "whoops, didn't mean to leave a camera in the bathroom and video all those women/children/men" incident... and now this bullshit... WE need to blackball his ass... we the consumers.. the masses...

hope you podium some time soon walker... you ain't heard boos before like you are gonna hear the next time the public gets a shot at you... oh and of course, any company dumb enough to be associated with Walker- Fuck'em...

Walker will go down as one of the biggest, steaming pile of shits this industry has ever seen...

oh and DC... hiding is NOT helping you... just making it worse buddy... seems he really is trying to burn the whole thing to the ground now....
Care to elaborate more on the cameras in the bathroom? This is totally news to me.

Then why did everyone involved in the interview process talk about how right he was and how great he handled everything? Lol you still make no sense, it doesn’t matter if he likes Deegan! Get that through your head, it means nothing on the legality side of this or in the rules.

Criminal liability is doubtful. Civil liability absolutely, hence DC's silence.
Is his sister the one telling him to be quite? Was it ever confirmed that Carrie (his sister, also mx sports affiliated) was the attorney present in the "claim rescinding room"? I simply cannot read through all that to try and figure it out. Hell I don't even know which thread I read it in.

Brennan must've ridden a bus you had to work on, and he left a deuce under the seat that you had to clean up. That's the only way I'm seeing you have this much conviction.

I was merely pointing out the irony of your initial statement as opposed to the derogatory term you used questioning how many chromosomes I have in your response to me when you could have just "moved along" which in itself is also ironic... don't you think?

So, what if your kid wanted to get a face tattoo because some other kid convinced him it’s a great idea. Then you meet up with him at the tattoo shop and ask him “are you sure you want to do this”, “ this might effect your life forever” and your kid decides not to do it after all. Could the tattoo artist sue the father for lost wages by talking him out of it?

This is a screenshot of a screenshot. What did it originally say? There’s letters and writing on the image and someone wrote on top of it. So did Brennan Snapchat it and someone took a screenshot and wrote the whole “pussy” comment on top of it pretending Brennan wrote it? You can clearly see something is said underneath the text. Even the images say “from camera roll” which means someone screen shotted it wrote on it and re-uploaded it like it was Brennan who said those things. This smells funky and is a sloppy with lots of holes. Maybe he did or didn’t say that but your posts are very objectively against Brennan in every thread and these pics do nothing but raise more questions. They look fake and you definitely have an agenda

EDIT: the original image says “Danger girl deegan ?ats it hard! Battling with a C rider”

This is the dumbest analogy I’ve heard In quite sometime, I realize you were comparing someone talking you out of something but you aren’t at a sanctioned event, competing for a nation championship and there is zero rule book or rules for that matter, and being that it cost this kid thousands of dollars he would have benifitted and that he was a minor, it’s criminal. On another note if your kid wants a face tattoo slap the f$ck out of him, (I have my entire chest and some of my torso and a full sleeve. but never the face.

Stop it with the lawyer talk.
He would have to spend 100k on lawyer and court fees which could have been avoided if he just stuck with the claim.

Nobody would win except the lawyers

Wow… how many championship do you have in the sport that you idolize? How old were you when you got one? I personally find it more impressive that he did it at 30. Much harder to go as fast these days as we did as kids.

It’s to cut and dry in my opinion, he was stern and not budging on the claim until his hand was forced. Don’t think you guys are giving the obvious enough credit. I think the boy would win this one. I’ve been on the wrong side of the law before and a good attorney does go a long way, thank god for that! 😂 just hate it for this kid, he could have bought 7-8 new bikes with the money from that bike. Who knows what we could have all discovered about that race bike too lol (I’m also an engine/bike builder)

Maybe the deegans should and Tim cotter should take Brennan and the engine builder to court for misleading and lying about events and how they happen . Deegans can show since southwick from Brennans social media post that he had it out for the Deegans the whole time and was just jealous and envy of Hayden and was just tying to drag their name through the mud I’m sure his social media post about haiden would look very bad in court
