Thank you very much for the explanation and that saddens me. I truly hope he’s doing better and getting some help. Most people don’t understand what it’s like in these situations. The decisions you make at the moment aren’t a true reflection of your character. Grant is human like all of us and is deserving of some compassion.

Langston deserves compassion?

You mean the guy who has went on social media and said that hunters deserve to be hunted themselves?

GL seemed to change his opinion of Matthes after he got super drunk and made himself look like a dumb fuck on Pulp.  I’m certain GL wasn’t man enough to own his actions and blamed Matthes. 

Now in this case he blows out Matthes and clearly can’t prove what he said.  

But he needs compassion because he’s a drunk?

Fair question Soggy. Depending on how far extreme their world views are, I may not view them as human. Much like I may view you. No offense, just my personal perspective. 

And it’s “they’re”. I know you would want to know. Happy Father’s Day.

This will explain journalism in our sport. This isn’t my opinion, I’ve never had a problem with Mathes and I do listen to two of his pods every week(not Pulp). 

 I was trying to get a friend who owns a very successful investment firm, who doesn’t know much about supercross to sponsor a rider. He went to a couple races on his own and did some homework to get a true fans perspective. 

 He had a lot of negative things to say, but he was absolutely blown away that Mathes is the journalistic face of the sport.  

He never sponsored the rider, but he does watch supercross now.

Oh, I’d agree. All the true journalists left our sport years ago, GuyB was the last one. I Michael is doing a good job too. 

 But I also don’t think Mathes is a journalist in the sense of journalism, he’s a podcaster that gets the information that advances his podcast, and there is nothing wrong with that. 

He had an original idea and has built an empire off of it.

GL had factory rides, won 5 titles, was a TV announcer, has a motorsports dealership along with other businesses while Herr Lich is a professional twat on a message board. Freaking internet, man. It's crazy.

Clever post Foetus. Don't you realise you know nothing about anyone on here, nor what they do? I don't assume anything about other posters and their professions. You're like all the moto 'media' and riders that think everyone on Vital knows nothing about any topic.

Doesn’t Steve say himself he’s not a journalist? He refers to himself as a media guy? And he’s also not afraid to mock some that calls themself moto journalists. That’s my conception of him atleast.

So, i am having a bit of insomnia and decided reading a 10 pager all about moto drama would make me drowsey.

I learned that matthes is a fat liberal canadian that learned to help privateers so he could be like pablo escobar.

I learned that brian deegan bullied pastrana so badly that tp stombed deegan like a cockroach in every fmx competition they ever did and could buy and sell deegan 10 times until brian started cashing haidens checks.

It was also eye opening that gl blamed matthes for getting fired from his broadcast gig because he would not get a covid vaccine like everybody else that wanted to be involved In events in 2020, per covid guidelines promoters agreed to follow to be able to have events.

Some unnamed entity is also responsible for a cute bear getting into a trash can. I missed who it was, but they must be gay, because there seems to be a lot of animosity directed at them.

I appreciate all that sought to enlighten the moto masses with various politically relevant opinions that are so articulate and well stated.

Unfortunately this little 10 page journey has not helped my sleeplessness, so i am off to find on demand episodes of "real house wives" or "teen mom".

I feel like this discussion has fully prepped me for a binge of similar drama.

As i leave i wish all here a pleasant evening, and urge all of you, please, do not step in front of a train.

I don’t mean to preach but compassion should be for everyone, people’s world views are generally based on their life experiences and should be respected as a lens into their struggles and perseverance. I myself have been critical of opinions that do not align with mine and I was wrong. God freely gives compassion to each and everyone of us regardless of our transgressions against him, I’m not saying we can achieve that as humans but if we showed a little grace to each other then we may find we aren’t as different as we believe. Happy Father’s Day to both @soggy and @EVH4Ever, maybe take some time of of Vital and enjoy some family time.

On topic, dudes acting like 11 year olds and crying because Matthes isn’t at the press conference.   What a shit argument that he can’t comment because he wasn’t present.
