Some of you weren’t around during MC-dominance in SX…but it was kind of the same deal. I’m a McGrath fan…but a lot of people got really tired of having him being put on a pedestal all the time too.

Well I certainly was and MC's dad NEVER gave an interview like that...
This was just odd...

We’ll have to agree to disagree. 

I have absolutely no understanding of how anyone doesn’t get that their dad is a part of all of this. 

And I’ll dive in a bit deeper: I’m actually appreciative of his commentary and the fact that he hasn’t forgotten the absolutely stupid shit he heard and saw as his kid dominated “The Outdoors”. Again, DOMINATED whilst the fools on parade spoke and wrote ridiculously stupid shit. 

I’ll let you in on my suspicions regarding last-night…

I suspect that dad was “letting a little steam off” after an unbelievably STRESSFUL WEEK & a night of racing that was BOTH “the best” and “the worst” for his family. Also, I wouldn’t be astonished if dad had some of the victory champagne or maybe even…dare I say…a victory pint. If so, more power to him.

Here’s what I really don’t get: when did we all become such pearl clutching whiners?  From the “Boycott MCR” to “Anderson took Cooper out” to “The announcers are the worst”…

WTactualF?

It’s RACING and I’m stoked to see a racing dad just letting loose.

I don’t know who is claiming Anderson took cooper out and to boycott MCR but I do know that the handful of clowns on the internet do not represent most people. They’re an extremely small amount of people and you can find anyone to have a hot take if you really want to. I think we’ve all got to stop lumping the extremist in with the average person fueling this “it’s us against them” mentality that has taken hold of so much of today. 

Nice post 731, well said!

MC’s dad was and still is the coolest.  Anyone who has met him knows.

agreed. not the best look to be dropping f-bombs and talking trash and then laughing that one kid didn't make the main. was strange to say the least.

I remember vividly the similar drama and back stories told over and over with Ricky and James over the years.

It's the media that need something to talk about, and it's easier to recycle the same story over and over.

It's early in the season and I'm sure other people will find their feet.

Jett is sooo damn fast though and of course the man's gonna be proud of his lad, no harm in that at all 👍

He is probably tired of all the people trying to discredit the kid to. He went 22-0 and all he get to hear is that it was a weak field. 
 

and then it was ”wait until sx, it’s then the real test starts”, after he won the SMX. And then SX came, and he spanked all of them at his first try. So i get Dazzys side of it.

I hear you man 👍

There is a lot of positive attention Jett's way, clearly.

There are also the few people who disagree or make excuses, like others have said.

I reckon by and large, like everyone here says, it is mostly positive but when it's your family I guess you tend to notice any negativity or shit talking and it can feel like it's more widespread than it is? Some ignore it, some want to address it, each to their own.

Either way, Jett's proven (again) he's the real deal. Will be cool to see the other fast homies take the fight to him this year 🤘

And RC, I was a huge fan of MC, not so much RC, but I respect the hell out of him.

I'm gonna pray motogod to see you come back down to earth a little bit because this statement is so contemptuous and arrogant that it starting to makes me want to see your son doing a Roczen 2017.

No one deserves in the world deserves that (except for the vilest people).

Lars may be having a chat to him at some stage to highlight current WOKE culture forbids any such behaviors........Whistling

Could only assume he was referring to the SX bike setup only as the bikes have looked great outdoors in recent years (save chase's front end tucks ...........which arn't necessarily the bike????)....

 

I guess no one told him that the previous pilot won the SX championship on a bike that "wasn't set up". And no, Keefer's setup opinions...

I guess no one told him that the previous pilot won the SX championship on a bike that "wasn't set up". And no, Keefer's setup opinions don't carry much weight with me, as he's not out there running top 5 in a SX race. 

sure but the bikes were good enough to run 1-2 last outdoor season so can't be too shabby?

Jett is a generational rider and Hunter is not far off.  Kudos to their parents for all the sacrifices to help them along the way.  All said, it's time for the them to step aside and be way less involved.  Of course be there to support, but seeking out clicks and interviews is ridiculous.  Neither rider needs the distraction.  His comments here and regarding the previous riders (Kenny & Chase) bike setup were unnecessary and low class.  Why add fuel to the fire? The train is rolling, sit back and enjoy.  It's not your gig anymore.

Agree with you 100%.  Only problem is that as a general rule, it is almost impossible for parents who have been and still are that involved with their child to step back and let the team take over. I find it hard to believe the dad is making setting recommendations to HRC.  It’s not like they don’t know what they are doing.  And…. that video was classless and very arrogant, not really how Jett nor Hunter seem to be.

If they want to shadow box anonymous people in the comment section for motivation, let 'em I suppose. It seems to be working! But at some point they should probably stop pushing the "we're just trying to prove the haters wrong" angle when Jett is quickly becoming the most popular rider in the sport and has clearly more support than hate. You're never not going to have shit heads in the comments popping off with dumbass takes. Imagine after one of Tomac's wins and John Tomac goes "I would just like to say fuck you to all the haterz".

It's certainly an angle you can have but at some point you gotta stop playing the underdog card when you clearly aren't. That's when it starts to become an eyeroll. Dude just went undefeated and you're sweating some random guy online saying "he's not that good" C'mon...

100%.

Complete clown move to be dropping f-bombs and throwing shade at other riders. Just STFU and applaud your sons for their accomplishments. Honestly, this dude is the LAST guy that should be giving interviews. He should be in the shadows (like most parents in our sport) simply cheering for their child.

I saw he made a comment another time about fans and signing autographs. I forget exactly what was said but it was a pretty trashy thing to say about people who support and look up to your kids.

Do you have custom notifications set up so any time the Deegan name gets mentioned you can come in and make a negative comment? Christ your shit is getting old.

Jet has the entire broadcast crew, and everyone associated with the race production absolutely swinging from his Sac@. They talk about jet like they’re fish at a Chinese fish farm at feeding time.
