I don't know if this is too little, too late, or if he even cares what I think, but i figured I'd give it try.          As a side note, I couldn't find a direct email address to Pelletier, so I sent this to the general "contact the AMA" form. I'd rather USA fight for 2nd place than have an egocentric punk ride for our team.  

From Racer X:

“I would like to offer a sincere appreciation to the versatile Justin Cooper for his unwavering dedication and professionalism,” Pelletier added. “Justin is continuing to train at the highest level in an effort to be ready at a moment’s notice and support his fellow countrymen. This speaks volumes about his character, work ethic, and commitment to the team. His effort behind the scenes does not go unnoticed and is a true unsung hero of the sport and Team USA."


 

My email:

Mike Pelletier, Let Justin Cooper show the world, especially the Deegan clan, what professionalism, ethics and sportsmanship is all about. Cooper rode a 250 to a MX2 overall win and team win in 2022 and he can do it again. Please disregard TV ratings, insider moto politics or whatever, and do the right thing. Justin Cooper has offered AGAIN to represent our country. Welcome him aboard. And thank him for his efforts.

Sending that to the AMA contact form is like mailing your Christmas list to the North Pole—technically delivered, but no one’s reading it.

Bro you need to relax. Go outside for a walk and breath some fresh air. It’s motocross.

Unless your last name is Deegan, Pelletier could care less what you have to say

You guys need to relax and spend more of your time enjoying life rather than sitting around thinking about how much Deegan bothers....

Some of you are worse than teenage girls with this stuff...

For a couple days I was irritated by Deegan’s action, but then I moved on..The more I see these anti Deegan posts day after day almost a week later I realize there’s some folks on VitalMx that are not all right up there..

The original email and post was in support of Justin Cooper. Not necessarily to slam Deegan. Guess I should have made my thoughts clearer.

When you say, “Please disregard TV ratings, insider moto politics or whatever, and do the right thing.” you are assuming you know why different riders are selected for team USA. Your email doesn’t make sense because we all know what assumptions do.

Sorry but, I don't think the way you worded that was enough to do the trick.  

But if you wanna try again...Mike's email is mpelletier@ama-cycle.org/

So many hurt butts....and what's even funnier is that the OP thinks his "email" will make a difference...The team is having Coop and Deegs ride together on Monday and make a decision after who is going to go....but go ahead send your email and let them know how you feel....😂

It seems a lot of people are going to have to get used to Deegan racing at a high level in this country for a few more years at least, with probably being included in the MXoN again sometimes.

But you are ok with Tomac going? He did the same thing to Dungey. 
It is the AMA’s fault that this happened again. Their rules are vague and are never enforced to the max penalty.

Probably not how you thought this was going to go ay Doug? Chin up champ, I’m sure you’ll have another shot at Deegs rage bait next season.

Yeah, but you're a self professed old guy. Between forgetting your password, losing your glasses, and accidentally deleting every other email, very few will get seen. Don't ask me how I know this.

I understand having a conflict of rooting for Team USA with Deegan if you were appalled by his actions last weekend... but there's a line where I think we might be taking things a little too seriously around here.
