I wonder how many of these accounts are actually Cooksey and Merts just trying to fuck with us. No one used to be this sensitive and we could talk about anything.

Family matters deserve privacy and are none of our business.

You: Immediately clicks on JA21 thread to see why he left the race- Doesn't see why then says none of our business ...

The name calling and the tough guy bullshit on this forum is at an all time high. It’s not necessary and only escalates tempers. Be better friend

Who would've known there are soooo many sensitive folks here who find it absolutely incomprehensible to even talk about why a factory racer doesn't show for a race.  

If I was setting with my buddies having a beer at my place and asked what they thought was going on with Anderson not racing and one of them called me out as a "douche" for even pondering that question, I'd be thinking WTF is wrong with you...put down that beer and GTFO Smile

A friend of mine in the know just gave me the scoop. The emergency is he is now a kidnapped resident of Cuba.

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’s races motorcycles - what about that makes it so damn important to know his personal matters? How entitled do you have to be to think you have a right to know everything about a guy just because he’s a motocross racer and you like watching motocross racing? 

We need to hang out.

Think I’m gonna hit a couple Canadian rounds this summer…you goin’ to any? I’d like to buy a fellow Lemmy fan a beer.

It would be great to go to Calgary before they shut the track down. We go to Edmonton a lot but haven’t been to Calgary for years. Was at the Edmonton race a few years ago - knew some guys racing. Too bad the track was dreadful. Only 2 rounds in the West this year.  

But yes, would be very cool to have a beer. Come to Saskatoon and ride our sand track!

You people are so sensitive. Get out of your mothers basement. Go for a walk, get some fresh air before you put the fries in the bag and get on vital.

You’re so tough and edgy, it’s not sensitive to respect someone’s privacy and not attempt to intrude so you can make a fantasy pick. Hope you have a blessed day, maybe seek some counseling for your repressed anger.

JA's contract is up.  I don't think he's dumb enough to sabotage a ride somewhere else by giving the double bird to Kawasaki.  Sounds like he's dealing with a family issue from the press release, should probably leave it at that.

I really hope everything he's going through turns out okay. Obviously has to be something big for him to sit out like this.

That’s what I thought at first but then the article on Vurb states he’s taking the rest of the season off to address ongoing health issues. 
 

First it was the family emergency, now it’s ongoing health issues. 

The reason for his absence changed from last weekend to now, that makes me feel like there’s more to this story. 
 

(Not saying he’s doing this to sabotage Kawi, just saying there’s a lot we don’t know )

I think it's on going family health issues, not personal.

I wonder if knowing he is out will be enough for people's "fantasy teams". Surely they weren't using that as an excuse while trying to pry for more info.

Chill. He's a pro athlete, shit comes with the territory.

Could be Epstein Barr or something similar.  That would explain his recent results.

VitalMx: Riders need to be more transparent..We need better journalism..

One of the top riders drops out..

Also VitalMx: It’s none of your business . Give man his privacy..He doesn’t owe you anything..

Hope everything with JA and family is ok. Everyone's health is the most important thing.

I'm not sure we see JA on a Kawi again though.

He looked fast to me, he was on the podium a few times and did not look injured.

This seems strangely coincidental...Sexton's possible signing and JA's sudden problems. What are the odds Sexton dumps KTM right after the SX series? Is this even possible with these contracts? I can't see it happening, but this is friggin kind of weird with JA all of a sudden deciding to exit the series. Oh, I don't buy the family or health BS either.

I can’t believe Kawasaki put out a press release. It’s none of our business why one of the top guys in the sport is not racing.

It's really not that nuanced, but maybe for some fans it is difficult to grasp the difference between having a reason he is not racing and wanting to know the exact details.
