Why is it every week a bunch of "supercross fans" feel the need to take to social media to complain about shit 

People also complaining about supercross tracks having to many jumps? Wtf do you think supercross is ? It's not the 80s flying off ski jumps doing air wheelies  

And people complaining about what jett said ?

Who gives a fuck, everyone acting like they have never said something stupid b 4 

Who knows what supercross will be in 10 years but if it keeps going the way its going and cater for the audience that keep complaining, it's going to be racing a flat track in a stadium with no take outs and if your faster then Deegan your not allowed to race

It’s not a super cross fan problem it’s a National issue with society as a whole.

Nothing like a post from a real fan of the sport to really shut up the sissies, right?  Seriously dude, maybe back down the machismo just a tad and cut us real fans who actually care about the riders some slack.  I'm over hearing from the big whoop fans as I put them in the same category of the fans who go to racing to see crashes.   I also don't see anyone lobbying to make the SX tracks flat either so your ten year predictions are pure hyperbole.  Until the amount of carnage we tolerate each season goes down significantly, I will continue to lobby for tracks like we had twenty or so years ago where the bikes weren't in the air fifty percent of the time.

BTW if you go to a SX or a National this year, I hope you will seek out the Team Managers and tell them how lame they are for wanting smaller whoops this year and share your ten year vision so hopefully you can save the sport from becoming sissified.

Wow.

I’ve been guilty about complaining about commentary and was hesitant to reply in some threads. But, it got me thinking, what’s a message board about the sport if you aren’t allowed to vent, complain, and discuss stuff. 
 

some people just complain for the sake of complaining but if some stuff was actually taken into consideration and things changed for the positive then mission accomplished. So, I don’t know who’s side I’m on, you do you OP

I’m a nobody but put me in the camp of not thinking what Jett said was a big deal. He’s a cocky 18 year old with a microphone in front of him

It was a non issue for me since he immediately corrected himself the moment he saw the incident from the second angle.   For the Jett thread to turn into a ten pager blows me away but listening is a lost art these days.

Haha yea I didn’t know people were 10 pages worth of worked up. Like you said, he was mature enough and corrected it. He’s a brash kid, we’ve all been there. Especially when family is involved

That's a hard take my friend. Lot's of stiff competition in there. That thread seems to be running loose, might need some heavy caulk to hold it all together.

When overated female values ​​become an ideological pernicious totalitarianism, it sucks. The best way to have peace for the dominants is to praise gays and women. Soft world is good for them, soft world is peace.

Give me a break, the world has slowly been getting softer since at least the beginning of the post-war era.

You want tough?

How about growing up on a farm in the early 1900's, expected to do a long, hard day's work from a young age, then going to serve in a meat grinder of a war (WWI), then trying to raise a family through the Great Depression, then watching your sons get drafted into another meat grinder of war (WWII), or for our non-American friends, facing the very real threat of civilian bombardment, death camps, etc.

But to answer your original question: no, I don't think the sport has gotten significantly softer. At least, not in the last decade. Fans have always found a reason to complain about anything.

Look I can’t stand macho bullshit and I’m not sure the term “soft” is the correct term for the sentiment in the post, but people in general (all ages) have grown more selfish and self entitled over time. Both social media conversations and daily communications constantly reflect that.


Unfortunately that’s just how it is, but it’s not just this sport, it’s everywhere. Non-Moto territory in my opinion.

I love Peacock.  Watch the races on a laptop.  Fast forward is easy, don't really listen to anything anybody says.  I see who gets the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd holeshot, who crashes, and who wins.  I'm pretty content about the dirt bike racing I get to watch or not watch.

I’m currently in therapy to cure my hurtful tendency to enjoy the carnage of an lcq. I know it’s the manifestation of toxic masculinity and I’m contributing to making the world less safe for the vulnerable by harbouring such feelings. I once felt excited when two riders got into an altercation. No wonder I’m exhibiting microagressions and failing to display proper allyship to diverse team members at work when they endure the indignity of dealing with insensitive, non-woke colleagues. May have to take a hiatus from these aggressive sports until they properly reflect societal diversity. Women, people of colour, and lgbtq+ people are hardly represented in supercross at all. Monsters!

Of course, my previous post is sarcasm, but some people seriously talk like that. I’ve got to think that most people reject both the hyper-masculine and woke bullshit and if they want to see changes in track design it’s got nothing to do with “softness”, whatever exactly that means in this context. There’s nothing soft about wanting to see riders riding rather than sitting out injured.
