News flash: no one GAF about your fantasy league bullshit. I’m so tired of “so and so ruined my fantasy picks”…it’s almost as bad as the Flight Sim warriors who chime in on pilot forums having never been in a damn airplane.


Oh, and get off my lawn.

Did not complain about anybody “ruining my fantasy team”. Sorry I struck such a nerve mentioning it as I look forward to the weekend. Just a fan wondering what is going on. Nobody is demanding anything. Some of you guys really like to get on your high horse any chance you get.

Family matters, I admire the hell out of what Jason can do on a scooter. Besides that, his life is none of my business, though I wish him well....

Family matters deserve privacy and are none of our business.

When you pursue a career in the public like he has and your salary and livelihood depend on fans, You understand giving up a level of privacy is part of the game. Our business or not is irrelevant..

Fans want to know what happened…let’s not pretend that is unreasonable.

He owes you nothing

I think his fans have some concern. Imagine a quarterback in the NFL leaving the stadium just before the game started and nobody knew anything other than “family emergency”. I think we were all concerned and worried about his family. Then you’re halfway through the week leading up to the next game (or race in this instance) and there has been no update on status of any kind. I think fans in that realm would be pretty damn curious too. 

I hope his family is okay. I’m a fan of his. I’m not searching for details of the man’s life, just curious if he is racing. I would understand if he said it is going to be a while or even sit the rest of the series. I just think it’s strange to make no kind of update whatsoever by this point. Just my shitty opinion I guess. 

It’s happened multiple times in baseball recently. Last one I can think of was when Eduardo Rodriguez completely vanished in the middle of the season because of a family emergency. He came back after three months. I don’t think it was ever revealed why he was gone other than it being a family emergency.

Interesting. I hope all is well with him and he gets back sooner than later. I’m not as interested in the WHY as much as I’m curious about the WHEN. Either way I hope everything is okay with his family.

In baseball that means alcohol or drug problem if they miss a patch of the season . Or maybe gambling the league makes them split.  I dated a couple players old ladies in Florida.

We don’t have to know what happened or is happening, but it would be nice to know if he is planning to race this weekend. Fans making their picks for the weekend would be better knowing if a top 5/6 rider is or isn’t racing. Edit to add: really didn’t see a simple mention of fantasy would turn into people claiming I was demanding his personal info for my fantasy team.

No mention of anything is a little strange to me. Makes me feel like it’s less of a family emergency and more of a pissing match with Sexton sniffing around the team. Edit to add: This is now a week old and I’m now leaning even more towards thinking this whole thing is all about the contract. 

i dont think JA gives a shit about fans making their picks for the weekend if there is a serious family matter at hand

Have we become so insensitive to the fact that these are human beings that we now put their personal family matters BEHIND fantasy picks? Demanding to know what is wrong so we can make an informed decision in a made up game? It is only 0419 and I have had enough of this place for the day. You guys need Jesus.

Certainly he doesn't owe anyone a detailed explanation.  But everyone who clicked on this thread did so because they're wondering at least in part . If you deny that you're not being honest . It's human nature to want to know .

This ain’t football. We respect our athletes in moto. 

This is the real April Fool's joke...reading vital would indicate that we have ZERO respect for the mx athletes.

How hard is it to understand that milkman is looking for an update on if he is racing or not, hes not asking what the story behind it is.


This sport cracks me up, riders need to keep the same number so we can follow them!

Also this sport, it’s not our business if the rider is even showing up to race

Please let me know where anyone demanded anything. I’m so sorry I even mentioned making fantasy picks. But yeah you consider guys who are in/out for the race. At no point did I ever mention that being more important than the man’s family or their privacy.

I’m just as curious as all of you who clicked on this thread. My mistake was I mentioned it would be nice to know when making considerations for a game that a lot of us play. Nobody demanded anything. Nobody said anybody was obligated to give personal information. Literally just expressed that I’m curious (like the rest of you) if the guy will be racing soon.

Us having to know what someone's family emergency is and if they are racing because it could affect out fantasy picks is a wild take. lol

You're right, you didn't say anything about needing to know details....

BUUUUUT, maybe it's the fact you insinuated the "family emergency" was a lie and it was a "pissing match" with Chase?

Hopefully all is good with JA and his family. But...when you live somewhat in the public eye, and you make a damn good living from it, you need to at least communicate, through some social medium to the fans, why you were not at your job.

Then say that. Fantasy team keeps getting brought up. The longer this goes on with no update on status, the more I will lean to the opinion that it may have something to do with next years contract. If anyone wants to bash that shitty opinion then go for it.

I highly doubt he is going to use family as an excuse to get out of racing because you feel he may not like the talks of something that is apparently not happening anyway. That is completely absurd. Comments like that are how really dumb rumors in our industry start. Imagine thinking he is going to fly all the way there. be there for press and be there for track walk to say, "oh, I'm leaving. Family emergency" and do it all over some pettiness. I doubt there is any sort of pissing match, or bitterness, Contracts end, pro riders move on. its life. 

 

And the reason people are bashing you on your "fantasy" comment is because of the way you worded that comment. there is a reason it has 56 down votes. Take the L. its okay.

I agree with you on the "silence"...it is very odd/worrisome.    Also, none of the moto "media" have reported anything.   There is no way something like this goes down without somebody in the know.         ...but JAs  family privacy should be respected.

Oh...and welcome to the lynch mob.  😂

Yeah, you did.  As evidenced by the others chiming in.

And yet you also went ahead and made up your theory to insinuate some sort of team dynamic issue and involved Sexton.  More fantasy.
