Deegan just the modern day Barcia.

think back to Barcia on a 250 and it was the same attitude and riding style 

Think he’s a bit better outdoor rider than Barcia.

I guess it's part of the game but I think letting your racing do the talking would be better. There was zero upside to calling out Levi IMO.

He likes to play the villain. What’s the point if people don’t dislike him.

Let Deegan do his thing, and try to accept the predictable response it yields.

that’s not the issue , the issue is ( to be specifically clear its not just moto its really sports fans in general ) its very hypocritical of fans to criticize & bitch bout athletes need to have personality & stop being politically corporately correct and then when somebody gives u some personality… in this case deegs who’s cocky & brashy , fans still bitch & whine , I always say some sports fans are just dumb cause u really don’t kno wht u want in a athlete

Obviously it's just his personality, but he is plenty fast and talented enough to let his riding do the talking. Talking trash on people is fine while you're winning, but it comes back to bite you when you're not.

He's making a rod for his own back. But it is what it is, some of it is just post-race adrenaline and his age I'm sure. But there's nothing wrong with a bit of humility. He's drawing his line in the sand in terms of who will be behind him and who won't; not sure the people that are super into this style of talking post-race are the sort you want in your corner really, but there you go.

Personality is great. But if you have a cocky, jarring personality, you're not going to win everyone over. But he clearly doesn't care about that, so it's all good.

It's not hypocrisy unless it's the same people, otherwise it's just different fans with different opinions.

Only took a moto to upset people.

I miss the "he cracked I didn't" Cooper webb, atleast deegz is filling the void.

 

"I knew he would fade" if that's all it takes to upset people we are in for some big page threads from the deegz

That’s a perfectly logical and reasonable explanation. That means it doesn’t belong here, this place isn’t logical or reasonable.

I loved it. Hopefully it starts a good rivalry. That's been missing from motocross for some time. Guys used to absolutely hate each other and it created real storylines and great racing. Everyone trains together and just bros down these days.

It’s only the first round. Kitchen is getting better. Deegan is a snot, even if he’s fast.

I don’t see what was wrong with what he said. Kitchen has definitely improved and I think Deegan is going to rethink that statement as the series goes on. These two were the class of the field today. 

That comment from Deegan is great motivation for Levi. The series is long......

First moto he checked up when he went off the track, but second moto didn’t seem any different than Vialle’s, so if the AMA actually followed their own rules it would have been 1 - 2 to Levi’s 2 - 1, so no overall. 
I was a fan of the kid at first, but the more trash he tries to talk, the more he reminds me of Colby Covington from the UFC…they both come off as trying to hard to be the heel.

In my opinion, Cooper Webb is a masterclass in treading that line between cocky and classy.

Deegan could learn how to do it a lot better, but I think he'll mellow and mature with age.

The kid can’t help himself. It’s literally bred into him. I expect him to be a jagoff on the podium now and will start muting him like RC and Wil

Great rider. 
 

His shtick will get old and it will fade as he matures. Don’t get me wrong he will always have the Deegan Shit Grin.

Deegan is an incredible talent, but he is impossible (for me) to root for. He is simply unlikeable.

I still don’t know what shit talkers Deegan is talking about but whatever he needs to fabricate to give him motivation and ride like that, I’m all for it.
 

Here’s hoping him and Levi go at it all summer long! 🤟🏼
