The thing that shocked me the most was that DB complimented Todd Harris. He’s out of his mind

Yea I agree there are a lot of people commenting that think it’s only the Arlington video. 

Do I think this will change anything? No. But maybe this won’t be the last time we hear something like this and Blair speaking out might give others the inclination to tell similar stories.

I just don’t want RC to “address it” with a comment like “Listen, this week I caught a lot of grief online for joking with Daniel Blair in a video. We are friends and people just misinterpreted the video.” Which I can TOTALLY see/hear RC saying that. What needs to be addressed and focused on more than that old video is that RC and Diffy worked together to suppress DB’s career. I want to see RC try to walk that shit back. 

Yea me too but good luck. RC isn’t under oath or being deposed.  He’s never going to cop to anything.

If you really want to bust the GOAT's balls, boycott HIS sponsors for partnering with a top shelf dickhead.

Hey! Fellow MOTOCROSS FANS…?

In what fucking universe is Leigh Fucking Diffey a “Big Name” to ANY FUCKING MX FAN…???

New or old, for that matter.

I’ve seen this story…time and time, again.

The “networks” know what is or isn’t “good for us”?

Really?

WTactualF?!

This ain’t “IndyCar” or whatever the fuck you’re calling it this year.

And, it sure as fuck ain’t NASCAR…and…

It ain’t the 24hr’s of Daytona…so….

Let’s pull our heads out of our asses and own our fucking sport…

Fuck!

And…while I take exception to RC lacking a fucking pair of balls when the Network Douche-bags Flex…as if they even know what the MX viewer wants or enjoys…imma gonna give RC a pass & send him to “The. MX Broadcasters LCQ”. But, just this once…and you owe me for letting you and your broadcast buddy poach my seats at the bar in Scottsdale…but, I digress and I still…well…fuck, it’s hard to not luv ya…my fellow short dude on a dirt bike. 

All the while, the broadcast team, they seem to do EVERYTHING in their power to alienate actual Moto-fans…

And now we come to find out one of their number has gone out of their way to FUCK OVER one of the best people to ever be “on the motocross mic” simply because he’s…

TOO GOOD

IS TOO FUCKING POPULAR WITH…and , please, take note…

REAL FUCKING FANS…

What the actual fuck? 

Hey, NBC-Peacock-Hollywood Fucks…

Please refund my money and go get a fucking clue.

It’s a New World out there and you’re not part of it; hence, your failed attempt to sell MSNBC.

You fucking idiots.

I’m jus’ sayin’…

Signed,

A guy who loves this sport and has been bringing U.S. Defense Tech to everyone in it since the ‘80s and I’ve been hating on all of those that have been trying to fuck it up since I was a kid.

Shout out to Tom Webb for making me this way…back in the early ‘70s when Roger and Joel made me fall in love with all of it…when I was just a kid on a BMX bike on McLaren Ave in Canoga Park. So, thank you Tom & Mike & “Tipper” and the Webb family. 

Get some.

Be some.

Fight for our sport. 

Manny

😂😂 it’s bad. Title 24, RCs personal page, supercross live, Diffeys page, hell even the jett Lawrence post with RC.  Just hundreds of comments talking mad shit.  

People are even being tactical about it. Like the first two posts are filled with shit talking. 3rd post is something with a kid so it’s all nice comments. Next post is RC and it’s back to mother fuck you’s 😂😂😂

Todd was calling a race he was in and talked about him, so probably some bias there. Would probably be the same for most people lol.

The only way to hurt or get NBC/Peacocks attention is to cancel subscription (If paying monthly) &/or not to purchase streaming option next year. Unfortunately most of us will continue to subscribe.

That's what they know. We don't have any other choice - apart from YouTube clips posted hours after the fact. And they'll start clipping them if they notice an uptake in viewing numbers.

I think most can agree that Daniel does a great job in any role on the broadcast team. I certainly would prefer him in any role, as he deserves to be on TV, with his knowledge of the sport. And he worked hard and has great delivery and seems very good with how he speaks etc. But I can understand the view of NBC too. Leigh is a big name for them and I'm sure that is important to them, big picture. He did the Olympics and various other motorsports. RC is obviously a known name in the sport and that likely resonates with viewers. I'm sure Monster being the title sponsor also probably has influence on RC being there too. That's just business and things like that happen.  Also, I can understand how on TV they are probably catering more towards casuals than people like us. And that's where those 2 probably win out over Daniel, who is the preferred choice of the enthusiast crowd. In addition, maybe Daniel pissed someone off or said something out of line, beyond what we know. Who knows. But I'm just not going to let 1 accusation change everything I've ever known about RC. I've had several interactions with RC, through my job and he was super cool and probably 1 of the nicest people I've ever dealt with, in MX. So while I wish Daniel could be on TV, I'm also not going to turn on RC, even if those 2 have an issue. That's between the people involved and doesn't change my opinion of either. I don't think it's fair to take 1 person's accusations and overreact, like I've seen people on Twitter, IG etc attacking RC over it.

Whether I think he is good at it or not, I'm pointing out that NBC clearly has their reasoning for him being there. Judging strictly on knowledge of the sport and ability to speak on camera, Daniel does both and is a great choice. But it seems pretty clear that NBC still views him as somewhat of a nobody. I don't have to agree or like the choice but I sort of understand where they are coming from. I think they want Leigh who is 1 of their high-profile people at that position, alongside a legend of the sport. That's their decision to weigh RC's name value against his ability in the booth.

Can someone please explain in what way Leigh Diffey is good? How does he get all these motorsport gigs? I listen to lots of international motorsport events and all the commentators are head and shoulders above that Tintin impersonating twat.  Who is he blowing at NBC to be regarded so highly?

Also, Cooksey was right about RC.  He’s still an idiot, but he was right.

What makes this worse is if recall how much he used to roast emig and his career live on broadcast, he would constantly shit on Jeff and we chalked it up as friendly banter but the narcissist Ricky is they were actual dogs.

Diffey, RC, Bondo, go f$#k yourselves, what total pieces of sh!t. Easy for me to say DB got too emotional during all of this, and made a few bad calls, but I’m all in on blasting negative posts to Peacock, NBC Sports, and anywhere those three doucebags are mentioned. 

And Pulp danced around it like a pair of ballerinas tonight, not that JT can take a stance, and I dot want to lose him, too, so good thing he kept his mouth shut. But I’d never say Ricky was a friend ever again, and look like an idiot to real fans. I did expect more from Steve, though. Unfortunately he just spent years rebuilding a bridge with Ricky for probably something very similar.

Yeah, and in the real world people get called out on their shit all the time. 

Why should this be any different? Because it's RC and he's the GOAT on a dirt bike?

Agreed with both. That same guy also hates cooksey he does anything to discredit him and bash him. Any thread he's mentioned in you'll see this guy commenting how its fake news.

JT said it all happened before he even worked there, and he was friends with everybody, so couldn’t/ wouldn’t say anything. Steve just blamed the fans for complaining about the broadcast too much.

Of course Steve did. That guy is a politician disguised as a moto journalist. He will play whatever side lines his pockets or interests.

It’s really disappointing how much a jackass Steve has turned into. I use to love his shows.

I respect Daniel for coming clean.  It’s a shame someone as talented as he is will not be in the booth moving forward.  And for the record I’m not a fan of Ricky in the booth.  

Unfortunately, the door was open for Daniel.  I think he got a little ahead of himself and walked away.  Nothing is given in this life.  Unfortunately when you compare Leigh’s credentials with Daniel’s it’s a no contest.  Even if Daniel would be better for the sport of Supercross.  

Now Daniel is on the outside looking in.  Pretty cruel to get his hopes up for RDL at Daytona.  But they probably just f-in with him.  So that he would realize that he will never be in the same position as what he walked away from.  

Again he’s very talented.  Maybe he should’ve just hung in there.  But he followed his heart.  I respect him 100% for that.

Is it amazing that were getting all this information from a vital forum, from 9-5 workers.


Not from the dedicated, professional, full time media members at established media outlets. (Racer X, MXA, Vital MX, Transworld, Pulp MX, etc.)

This forum has 7k+ views and 5 pages in 9 hours. Significant engagement.

Has any motocross journalist even acknowledged this yet?

Say what you want about Vital and "Vitard" etc, but established moto media glaring weakness continues to be anything truly controversial.

They are being outshined by the regular Joe. People who are currently on their phone at a job site or from a cubical.

Bear in mind that this incident occurred 12+ months ago. The first in depth person to touch it was Gypsy, one month ago.

Daniel has talked to me about all this but didn’t want any of it ran in public form. When a friend says “I have something to tell you but you can’t repeat it”, you’re kinda stuck. Unless you’re just a shitty fucking friend.

It’s Daniel’s to unearth, he has a platform and he’s told his side. Beauty of the forum, anything worth talking about ends up here, even if I’m stuck at bike tests all day.

soggy wrote:

Now that it is unearthed though will any media pursue the story?  probably not.

Now that Daniel has decided to share his position on it and state it publicly, yes, I'll ask questions and see what/if anyone will talk or share anything. 

As with the Lawrence/Deegan thing from AUSX, I dug around for a few days to see if there's anything to be reported on. I'm not going to run to youtube with accusations and just repeat what Daniel stated (that's his truth that he's put out there and it should be heard from his mouth in this case).

RC has always been a jerk with low self esteem, needing to tear others down. I remember how cringey it was when he first started with Jeff Emig. Jeff would joke about some little thing and RC would take it seriously and talk down on Jeff’s career. He’s done it with so many others too. RC is perfectly fine around people who don’t pose a threat to his esteem. Really sad that someone that successful as him is still so insecure.
