The fact that “loss of group text privileges” is in a supposedly serious penalty report has got to be the biggest joke of 2026.  That’s some middle school level maturity right there.

And you can’t come to my birthday party!

I listened to Pulp and I actually agree with the reasons - think it was JBone explaining. But it feels like Brittany just kicked them out of the cool girls club.

That’s the honest answer if we’re saying we don’t want rain-races.

Since when does the promoter hand out penalties? I thought that was the job of the sanctioning body. 
Surely the AMA isn’t getting involved in hurt feelings?!

To sum this mess up, Feld has dummied down our sport, treats teams like crap, we have an absolutely horrid production team for tv, the ama can’t make the right decision to save their life, and the earth is flat. Does that sum it all up?

Chem trails, cant forget Chem trail. 🤣

What’s next?  Double secret probation?

In the words of Dean Wormer: “Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”

Feld and the AMA are wasting a perfectly fine 0.0 grade point average.

So the official report LITERALLY says "Removed from team manager group text privileges." 

This can't be serious 🤣  This is like if there was a list of rules that a sorority has at a college.

I don't know man....It's no different than a workplace group chat between different levels that is put in place to help make decisions quicker and keep everyone in the loop and if you went on your workplace group chat and started bitching and complaining in front of all the other members in the chat I'm pretty sure there would be some disciplinary action taken...

Shocked the one person defending these actions would be you…go team!

I'm not defending I am explaining with common sense what the purpose of the chat group was...as I said above "The whole purpose of the group text was/is to have an open communication between the AMA/Feld/MXSports and the team managers. It was agreed to be a proactive communication source not a bitch session and they were all told that if it turned into that they would lose their privilege to being in the chat" I didn't chose sides just explained what the purpose was.... I have been in these types of chats for business and I have seen people get disciplined for negative and disrespectful posts....its not there to create a bitch session and like JBone said much of the stuff that was said in the chat wasn't the place for that and they all knew that....so please show me where I defended any actions of anyone?

If the OEMss dont stand up to this immediately, Feld will feel empowered to do even more horse crap to them in the future. Simply because they didn’t fight back, so they are easy to roll.  Doing nothing is a a chicken sh!t bitch move.

…except these guys are not Feld’s employees. They are senior representatives from Feld’s “partner organizations.” Feld is running the place like a fiefdom. It worked perfectly at the circus—-wait, no it didn’t…

Jbone showed his true colors last night, sucking Feld and the AMA  both at the same time! He’s fine with the penalties and even championed the new BS sound rules next year. What a POS he has become.

Thanks for the 450 purse, im talking smaller (non factory teams where riders are going to end of 8-15) per race payout which is alot less than what you're showing for the 250 class. Nice try though.

Its pretty sad that 1st and 2nd in 450 class make more than the entire 250 field  put together..

J-Bones comments seem to come around to this being an issue that's been building for a while, and with the rain and venue choice seeming to ramp it all up for this, 

he mentions on pulp for the mangers to bleat to him, rather than on the group chat first as he will handle them better than others will,

Or, and hear me out here...if everyone who lost their "privilege" to the group chat were bitching about the same thing, how about Feld addresses the problem they're bitching about rather than just kicking them out of the club?

If I understand correctly, the “problem” was some of them wanting the 2nd motos canceled. That wasn’t going to happen. 
What are the odds any team members reply to that text group again?

Guess there were some hurt feelings with all the comments.

 I am a proud employee that consider me a walking Human Resources violation.been in the hot seat enough times I’m a frequent flyer,have my own chair in the penalty box.

The problem with society today is gone to a whole new level with this outcome.I hope the world does what chopper always said “HARDEN THE FUCK UP ‘

Does anyone else find the “removed from the text chain” part laughable. 

Like high school drama BS when someone gets singled out and made fun of or something. 

“like is everyone on board kicking Stacy out of the group chat, her hair is just sooo 2008”
