Mr.America can’t pony up a few thousand to go represent his country. I’m not even American but it’s the same here. There’s a type of person the flies the flag every opportunity they get for their own benefit and those people are last in line to make an actual sacrifice for their country.
I'm just here to see the comments from the stupid fucks that don't understand where the sport is at today, finances, timing and the fact that this MXON thing is yesterday's news for American teams.
Is Deegan the only current "star" globally that is opting out of MXoN this year? And I am making a massive ass-umption when I say Deegan is personally opting out. But anybody else?
You are literally the SF in this conversation.

Lol, pro racing is a marketing expense, not a revenue generating business. They backed out because they don’t think they can get the results that would justify the expense, bottom line.
USA couldn’t get there fast enough when they were winning thirteen straight.
Well we actually had a magazine editor get behind fundraising efforts that actually raised enough money to help defer the costs...but in todays world we have a golf tournament and sell t-shirts that probably raise more than back then but probably not much more and with the the costs have increased it's not enough...
Hymas or Kitchen on a 450? Either one makes me nervous...
I'm not even mad about Marchbanks, I think he'll surprise.
Let me ask everyone that is bitching...did you donate to RaisIt4USA? if not why? would you be open to a $.50 surcharge on SX/MX/SMX race tickets to defer the costs?
Maybe SMX should require riders to race the MXDN if they want to collect their winnings from the finals?
in the 80's i used to walk to school in the snow 8 miles uphill both ways....
This is it. If deegan was hell bent on going and representing for usa there isnt a chance in hell star says nope too bad you cant go. NOT A CHANCE. This is deegan pulling out AGAIN and yet again getting covered for. If the same exact thing happens every single year its not a coincidence. Captain America is all talk… again.
The greatest dirt bike industry in the world is not capable to send their best team to the most presticious motocyle event of the year,amen!
Knew it was coming but sheesh, what a loudmouth hypocrite this guy is.
Yesterday‘s news when it is outside of the US,well said buddy!😂🤣
Never want to hear a usa chant ever again when diaperbag is on the podium.
You have never been to one. Go to one and you will see…

Okay, honestly. I am no fan of Star or Deegan. But name me one other pro racing series where teams and competitors do ANY event for free? Sorry, racing is a business and big money is being made at the Des Nations. The FIM and Infront can afford to share with the teams and riders taking the risks and putting on the show.
We can't have logic here!
Translation: Deegandashian won’t go…
How much do Olympic athletes get paid to represent?

Does Kawi send bikes now?
Yes indeed this country has given the Deegans the life they have.
Some folks just dont get it.
Don't want to see Deegan play the Captain America card against the Euros/Aussies ever again after this one
Partly true, but the main issue with most people is the guy who wraps himself up in the US flag when it suits, but goes AWOL every year when it comes to backing it up on the World Stage. He could cover Star's cost of getting his bike out there for less than he spends on a watch, but he doesn't want to go - that's all it is.
Stop with the corny MXoN selection.
Only if you “want to go” for team USA.
I just don’t feel the MXoN is that big of a race. Don’t see the importance of it. I love anything Moto and have paid to watch MXoN for years.
In the end, it’s most likely going to go away for USA. As a fan, I really don’t care.
It’s cover for deegs
He is also offering to let Danger pilot his race bike with a throw back to the yellow machines.
