hahaha.. argh well. i deserve that one
Left Media B.S. in SX as well? I just cancelled my Peacock subscription.
Circus promoter kinda shit, not “real” sport stuff. Super disappointing to hear this is how it goes in SX, but not suprised.
A real journalist wouldn’t give a shit what an agent thought .

Cmon ML512....Tell us the truth. No bs please
I'm not allowed to post here any longer, but the truth is, you and most of the others commenting are full of it.
Cooksey would be more than willing to ask those questions, but he can't because he doesn't have a press pass, and if he did, and if he asked those questions, individuals like yourself and the others in this thread would shit on him for doing so.
Haha, cool story bro. Nobody cares what you think.
Well it’s literally on the cover of racerx, the media seems to be reporting on it.
Or how about if Hunter's move on Thrasher wasn't a take out, but just good aggressive racing, wouldn't the same aggressive but not dirty racing in response be equally ok? I have to think that in the Thrasher camp that its acceptable to ride some level of aggression around Hunter.
Yes, right before the press conference started we were asked by Feld staff to not ask Hunter or Thrasher about their recent moments. Irritating but I didn't personally have a question in relation to that I was going to ask anyhow.
So not allowed to ask either rider...that adds some extra context.
Edit: I think that's some fkn bullshit ...not your post, but from Feld.
Edit 2: It's just so fkn stupid as well. I mean what is Hunter going to say? Most likely "sorry didnt mean him to go down"...and what about Nate? Most likely "I think it was aggresive maybe there will be some payback we will have to see".
This is hardly war and peace.
So when another rider takes Hunter out is he gonna bitch and moan about it or take it like a man.
Look how hard Sexton and Tomac race eachother and they've came together once maybe. I don't mind a bump or bang but man don't ruin another dudes race.
Wonder what would’ve happened had you did, hypothetically speaking. I mean, what could/would Feld do in that situation?
Probably get a personal visit from Matt Walker.
And yes /sarcasm.
Feld really likes people with Australian accents, maybe English accents also 🤷🏼♂️
I love assumptions, it feeds the conspiracists. As ML512 says above Feld said to not ask either riders so assuming that it came from the Lawerence camp throws that into doubt
Likely deny to answer.
Knowing what you know Michael, who do you think initiated the request to bar journalists asking about the incident? Or would you rather not speculate
Pit Row
Feld has no reason to ask us to not explore that from their position. It was from a rider's camp for sure.
Get ready for that memo from Feld:
"Don't ask questions about why you couldn't ask questions about Hunter V Nate at Daytona"
So we got star Yamaha protesting championships they dont win. Decoster deciding the whoop layout and HRC controlling the press... spicy times
Agreed.... Dont' want to see him hurt....just go for the spokes.
Wow. What a world we live in. Media isn't allowed to do their job.
For all we know it could have been star that didn't want questions asked about the recent events.
This is gonna make it come off like I'm hugging Hunter's nuts too much but this genuinely seems just as if not more likely to me than it coming from someone in Hunter's camp
How do you get people to talk about something? Tell them not to.
Could it be possible that it is a tactic to make it a bigger deal than it was?
The move wasn't anything too crazy and Thrasher isn't exactly a Lawrence or Deegan with a mob following so it's a bit odd.
I'm confused. Hunter won Daytona, he was asked about that takeout in that press conference and gave his answer. Why is the media still talking about it? Thrasher tried and failed to do the exact same thing in Tampa. They're obviously both down to race aggressively. I'm not excusing the censorship, but I'm curious why anyone in the media would want to keep bringing it up in press conferences when we've already been given an answer on it.
Can someone get Rutledge Woods on Pulp to tell us what we should think about this issue? What if we're wrong...? 😐
so the moto "Media" can't ask relevant questions of the riders because...."we said so"...and instead of protesting this in any way they won't even report on the fact that Feld is dictating what questions can even be asked. EVEN WORSE, it's naturally assumed that this embargo was simply cause HRC asked for it....and the moto "media" yawns and just says "aw shucks" and then we only know about it cause matthes makes a comment about it in passing.
Amazing times we live in with our sport. Can you imagine if ESPN said "Well, we'd like to tell you more details about the fistfight that broke out on the 3rd Tee at the PGA even yesterday, but the PGA told us we're not allowed to talk about it....so....moving on...."?
I lolled.
Yes, we can shine a pretty harsh light on Natey boy's antics.
