Rapala just released a new line. Mookie’s mind is elsewhere…

All of this is extra stress. And the lawrences brought this on themselves. 🤣

Are we past peak Lawrence? ? Will find out tomorrow 

Curious how they brought this on themselves? They had an issue with their agent. They made a public statement detailing why they made their decision. They haven’t said anything public about it since that I have seen or heard. It seems their fired agent and a YouTuber are the ones who are not letting it play out in court.

That wasn't an off the cuff apology. Setup before hand.

You mean thought went into it?  I hope so.

Far better it comes from his mouth personally than in a press release written up by someone else.

I don't understand all the hubbub about this.

A non-story from the first minute, until the Vitards ran with it like the drama queens they are.

help me understand this, you and a few other member are always yapping about how stupid everyone is on this site or how its all drama. so why are you here posting? you make it sound like all this is below you..

I like that they just hallucinate what discussions are actually even taking place, too. I think in the main Jett thread (before it devolved into what it did) there were a few posters that said he should probably apologize (not that hot of a take) and mostly everyone agreeing it’s a bad look but he was just a kid being edgy in a private setting and that’s it. Then there were the usual suspects that had to come in because people weren’t reacting angrily enough and go “Imagine if Deegan did this, you would all be losing your minds!” etc. then once the dust settles it’s “Classic Vital losing their minds over a nothing burger again.”

If they think Vital is the only place people were talking about it, they’re sadly mistaken. 

And they get so dramatic about it too 

"Oh I can't believe you'd let this offend you and ruin your life" aah I just said I didn't like it bro, fucken chill

Most usually definitely don't care about the downvotes that they don't care about cause they'll repeat over and over that they don't matter and they don't care about the downvotes that they'll tell you that they don't care about.. or count.. or mention

I can understand wanting to see something sooner but the setting and the message seemed quite appropriate.

It's all trashy drama IMO - it sure ain't classy. The whole Mirtl thing.... then the vid leak with the slurrs (it looked trashy).   

But he apologized. I have nothing against Jett.  Just calling it how I see it.

That was definitely set up. First question off the rip. Not that it’s a bad thing. It needed to be done but I’m not a fan of these public apologies from any athlete in any sport. These guys are usually only sorry they got caught or it that it came to light. If it was bugging him he would have put it out there himself over the last few years. 

But agree with a previous comment. Let’s go racing and fuck this TMZ shit. Tomac, jett, sexton … Lfg!

Except most athletes arent apologizing for things they said when they were children. I saw a guy in the youtube comments saying he was boycotting Honda products while they employ Jett. LoL because of a naughty word a 14yr old said? You know he didnt say this last week right?

Yes. I know the details. And again. He really isn’t sorry. It’s PR and a must for sponsors and fans. That’s it. You can argue what if’s all day. If him being young and silly makes his apology heartfelt to you.. that’s your opinion bro and I don’t think it’s a bad one. I just have mine and I stated it.

'He really isn't sorry' 

Isn't he? Who the fuck are you to say he isn't sorry? Because he didn't bring it up in the past out of the blue? 

Weird take bro..

Nope. As I said to Chris. I have my opinion on it and some Aussie jett fan boy with a bias isn’t going to change my mind by getting all butthurt.

Gee, I'm not sure... do you guys really think it was planned in advance??   Was your first hint when Gypsy asked the question "Do you have a formal statement about the current situation that you're, unfortunately, dealing with?"

Oh well you've certainly got me figured out..

It's funny you keep saying it's an opinion but you're typing in absolutes.. You don't THINK he's sorry.. that doesn't make him not sorry!

lol ok. The only person who TRULY knows if he’s actually sorry is Jett. You just THINK he’s sorry. See how that works. It’s ok bud. You’re fan of his and choose to believe it’s sincere. I choose to believe he got caught and is saving face.

Maybe a non-story for the backwoods, quad-riding inbreeds who line the track at Southwick and treat the word like a habit, but for those of us who graduated fifth grade it's at least a little uncouth to say racist things.

Interesting, you never have any inappropriate jokes between friends ?

Do you think you wouldn’t be embarrassed if a video of you when you were a teenager saying something stupid was plastered all over the internet?

To think he’s not ashamed after he apologized is the weird take. If you put yourself in his shoes and think “he’s probably lying” that says more about you…

I believe it could be and most likely is, as I've said stupid things in the past and if they came to light and offended or upset someone I'd apologise..

I think we have all said dumb shit in our lives. I’m not apologizing for it because everyone should know that. It would be hypocritical of someone to even get upset about it. Me personally, if someone asked me to apologize for something I said when I was 14 I would laugh In their face. But I’m not sponsored by Red Bull and HRC Honda. 

The real asshole is Myrtl putting Jett in a situation where he even has to acknowledge it. Being a professional athlete at the top of a sport myrtl knew Jett would have to face it.

Well there lies the difference. I don’t coddle to people’s feelings. IMO that’s why people are the way they are today. Self righteous over emotional people that demand apologies and the people like you that give it to them and vindicate them.

Yep that is certainly the difference between you and me.. If I say or do something stupid that may have upset or offended someone I'm gonna say sorry.. 

But I guess I'm not as badass as you
