C’mon man, I get that you’re pushing a balanced view of Chase’s most recent absence but you are fooling yourself if you think most people don’t see it as the continuation of a series of weird absences with little to no explanation.

Personally I’m not on board with booing athletes but plenty of others see Chase’s behaviour as very odd if not downright bizarre.

why do people see things so clearly like you and others, DonM, dont? So easy to understand yet the guys with blinders on just dont or cant get it, weird

he must be hiding something diminishing his capabilities that they don't want made public. Could be physical or mental or both.

He is coming back from injury so it’s ok to boo him when he comes back because he hasn’t informed you every step of the way…man I don’t know that sounds extremely entitled…he owes you nothing! Where’s the outrage with Barcia?? I guess he gets a pass because his crash was televised for everyone to see… Chase just got back on the bike Tuesday and as he has shown in the past he doesn’t come back until he’s 100%….And I expect this place to melt down if he decides he’s not ready for this weekend….Do I wish he would be more open, of course, but this is nothing new with Chase…but to boo someone returning from injury just because he hasn’t kept your entitled ass inform is bullshit….

Why does he have to owe anyone anything to get boo’d? He’s a pro athlete, comes with the job.

I would boo Jose Altuve if I saw him in the dairy section of the grocery store.

A little transparency would be nice. After all, without us there is no supercross and no factory contract worth $$$$. Same for all public athletes whos income is dependent on us buying tickets, product, ect. Real sports, NFL for example, will fine you for not coming clean on your injury's.

I’m personally cutting him some slack on his slow roll back to racing.  Last fall, the guy was literally snoring on the side of the track after his SMX crash.  Rumor has it, this last crash was a big one.  If he knocked his head yet again, it makes sense that he’s taking the time he needs to come back.  As someone who has had more concussions than I can count, I wish I knew then what I know now.

That’s called entitlement…purchasing a ticket from Feld/MXSports does not entitle you to any information regarding an individuals personal life or injury updates….NFL injury reports are required by the league for the teams to report not up to individual athletes they fine the teams not the athlete…and in most cases those reports are not real specific, ie Sore shoulder they are week to week…and the teams are required to report who is out two days before a game…And yes I agree a little transparency would be nice and now that we have gambling I think that Feld/MXSports should adopt the same requirements of the teams regarding injury reports….but as of now not just Chase but many riders go the “none ya” route regarding injuries.

I remember, in an interview with Lewis that Chase said "Some of my friends say I'm a psycho". Maybe that just means they know he's a bit of a head case.

But, racing is better when he's on the line no matter what. I hope he has himself and the #4 Kawasaki figured out when he rreturns.

The first step to recovery is acknowledgement. Maybe Chase is aware of his psychosis but isn't quite ready to acknowledge.

Injured, not injured, nobody knows. Kawasaki and Chase have had no transparency on the issue.

A show? We pay for it. I guess it'll just be boo's for his "lack of updates" then.

P.s. barcia did give us an update as to what his injuries were, so people are less skeptical.

I think the point is what is it? A bruise? An exploded tib/fib? Im sure you understand why people are questioning the timeline. There has been no injury reported, just "there is an injury".

I honestly dont care anymore and stopped giving a shit if hes back or not, just pointing out that people that are fans of his are probably wondering what is going on, and that can be frustrating.

Don, your all in and that's cool! I disagree with you and definitely not "entitled" as you say. Honestly can give a shit as I'm more worried about getting my sag right on the new bike. Anyway, have a great day! Your boy is coming back!!☺️

Yeah ok…I guess you are entitled….pretty sure you don’t pay Chase a dime, I would even go as far to say you would still go to races and “pay” for a ticket with or without Chase…and there have been updates, you just don’t like the updates they’ve given…

P.S…..Kawi gave updates see above and that was the initial one, and just as Barcia it was announced when Chase started riding again…

The post literally says “Due to injuries to his hip and lower back”

Just to repeat - I don’t advocate booing anyone.

With regard to the rest of your post - live by the sword, die by the sword.  If you choose to make a lucrative living in a career that depends on public popularity then you are opening yourself up to public scrutiny.

What you don’t seem to understand is that the criticism of Chase’s absences over the last few years, and the lack of clarity surrounding them, has nothing to do with entitlement and everything to do with optics.  If I engage in bizarre behaviour in my workplace then the people in that environment will discuss and comment on it.  Furthermore if I provide little to no explanation then people will speculate and start filling in the blanks.

The only difference between my scenario and Chase’s is that my audience is maybe a dozen people whereas Chases’s is a few million.

You asked where’s the outrage for Barcia?  We’ll go and look closely at the two situations and see if there are any differences.  Jett has missed more time in the last two years than any top rider, why is no one outraged with him?  That isn’t a rhetorical question - there are clear differences.
