Does the name Eric Sorby ring a bell?

In a modern time with social media etc.

When Sorby raced (i once owned one of his old GP bikes) most of the world had to wait for bar to bar to get out to see the races. 
 

My point is that when a fan start calling a foreign rider by it’s nationality instead of his name, it shines trough what that fan thought about that rider even before the incident.

”frenchie” ”aussie” etc instead of the riders name..

Absolutely. I can remember multiple times when I was younger where I aired some dirty laundry, convinced I was in the right, and it took me a couple of days of grappling with it and sitting in my own discomfort before I could get the perspective necessary to realize I was in the wrong. After that it took another little while of sitting in the mire before I realized how simple it would be to just apologize and rectify the situation. It's not the falling down that people judge us on long term but the manner with which we get back up. I feel like Jett's team really fucked with his opportunity for growth in their desperate attempt to control the PR narrative. I get handling social media when it comes to content sharing and the like, but exploiting that business relationship to present their own beliefs on a conflict as his own is dishonest and manipulative. 

If his circle of family/team/agent/sponsors/etc felt they were being represented poorly that's what their own social media pages are for. Let the kid shit the bed and decide if and how he wants to clean it up 

From the management/agent side the brisk PR move with Jett's IG story is more about donuts and VIP sales than what's actually happening with the athlete in the moment. The part Mirtl doesn't understand, or doesn't want to understand, is that it was always going to be a shitstorm the minute Jett stopped Anderson and it got caught from multiple angles. The quick overreaction to try to control it only ensured a greater shitstorm.

Paul Malin calls riders by their nationality all the time. Every single broadcast. What the hell are you even talking about?

He says ”the french rider” or the ”spaniard” and not in a bad way. Just go through this thread and read when people write ”i hope JA put the aussie in to the cheap stands” and things like that.

jeez at least try to understand…

Trust me. I'm trying to understand. So are you saying aussie in a good or bad way here with this comment? I am absolutely confused. Because you did it as well.Capture 25

No way I’d say that…I’ll have to respectfully disagree! Laughing

I’d love to have one of those old SAAB 2T sports cars. They make a decent jet, too. 

My Ford Bronco, Transit, Hybrid, Raptor…etc, made here and I drive the living shit out of them.

Read the text before and after to decide.

when you spew out a bounch of shit about a person and them calling them by their nationality instead of their name it’s easy to figure it out…

I don’t know the name of the dude that lungbutters mom ran away with so i just had to ask..

There is nothing sporty about the Saab 96 and for a swede both Saab and Volvo is about as exotic as a pile of dog shit. 
 

I prefere Japanese cars my self but each to their own.

just doing my part to get this thing to 30 pages, the mud slinging above is gonna get it shut down guys chill. 

 

guess we'll have to wait for Mirtl to get on the GypsyBro podcast and bro down...sick...tite....no wayy....and tell us what really happened and why Jett was crying and why Mirtz had to put a hit out on Abide for his brand image and why Wasserman threatened to fire him if he didn't. 

 

also...

there will come a day where they ASK to get on the pulp show...and Matthes will whisper 'no'

Not all of em.   There are a fair number who can be fans but still see problems with all the BS surrounding the cash-cow bros.

Fuck these threads are out of control. 
But one thing for sure, the agent these guys are using isnt doing himself any favors being on podcasts. I could tell he was a slime ball the first time I heard him talking.

I know most people are thinking Jett should mea culpa with El Hombre, but I think this is a golden opportunity to go a different, more brazen route and instead own the badass role like Bradshaw. He could come out and say he didn't direct his team to apologize. They took it upon themselves, and he retracts it all. He's not out there to make friends, he thinks Anderson is a road-blocking b*tch and has to pay full retail for a VIP experience, he's gunning for the most SX wins ever with no shame toward MC, even RC's records are in his sights, and to all the naysayers:

Remote image

 

He just may need to tone down the tears going forward. Woohoo

Jett doesn't have that in him. Damon was born with chip on his shoulder Smile
