Don won’t be back , he makes a fool of himself gets proven wrong and goes missing , I think he will be back on the star don’t attend the nations that’s why deegan can’t go , or he needs surgery to recover in time for sx narrative 😂🤡

So, main takeaways from this. . Agents; douches . Kooksey; massive douche, hopefully he goes away and we never hear from him again . Duffe; douche . Ellie Reid; massively bitter douchette . ML; solid, trusted. Feel sorry for him having to wade through this shitswamp . Both rabid fanbases: absolute psychos, need to chill.

You can add to the list - in Jett's case - elevating the art of motocross and supercross riding to new levels. Also, and importantly, representing their country when asked to - and winning.

971 can you chill you’re making the rest of Deegan Nation look bad

Good point lol

If you’re making a business decision and it doesn’t make financial sense, then you have to look at other reasons on why you should still do it anyway and relationships will play a roll in that. So yes, they are humans and emotions can play a factor in whether or not they’re willing to make less money to pay someone who hasn’t been cool with them. The article also states that none of the riders exchanged words about any of this, by the way. I don’t think it’s that deep and leans mostly into a rushed timeline and business decision...

My apologies, I’ll fix it for you: I instantly knew that would be all guys like you would focus on, when I read ML’s article and got to that part.

Ooor being strategically divisive for clicks can bite you in other ways

Yeah.. Almost as if there's a lesson to be learned there..

You can come back now instead of hiding and admit your strong feelings towards one rider got in the way of facts and the truth. That you just assumed. Might as well admit you watched a cooksey video too since Steve never mentioned Anderson once during any of this. Can just admit you're a hypocrite too while your at it or do we need screenshot proof? No one forgets how you acted towards "zero fact and 100% speculation" in the lacr thread.

Are you saying the Deegans don't?

When I read ML’s article and got to that part, I instantly knew that would be all guys like you would focus on.

The Lawrences don't have a say over who can race, Deegan can turn up and race, but he won't get any start money, just like the MXoN!

Yea they denied paying him money. He could still race if he wanted too. It’s not that hard to understand. The event doesn’t need haiden to sell out and he came along so late looking for a payday the promoters don’t see a benefit in paying him to come race when it would affect there bottom line.

Well, Dazzy strikes me as a guy that stand up for what he belives in. And if someone did they wrong, they won’t roll over. Same as they seem to take care of the ones who helped them through out the years.

You’re trying too hard mate.

The story says there was back and forth negotiating going on. That doesn't happen if it's a personal grudge. That implies they would be happy to have him there at the right number. Makes total sense that they couldn't come to a number that makes it worth it to Deegan to go and is also good investment from a promoter standpoint. Just listened to JT's pod and it's pretty obvious who his source was, especially if you listened to his previous podcast and knew where he was heading. Both his source and therefore JT were missing the Lawrence as promoter...

Take your Deegan blinders off and you'll see it was a business decision, not a personal grudge. Business is business.

The best summary for me is it was all business and nothing to get bent about on any side. If the event was already nearly sold out, why add to it this close? It is a bit of a conflict of interest having competitors also in a decision making role, but it's a private event so they can do what they want. The thread here and the comments online show how quickly things can escalate on both sides without any facts. Props to Vital for taking the time to lay it out, talk to all parties, and summarize. Unfortunately, far...

Did you even read the story? The reasons they had for it were all reasonable and sensible. They admitted to not liking him. But that was not the reason behind the decision. It was financial. Paying Deegan to race would only cut into their profits. The event is nearly sold out and they dont even have time to market him for it. How is that personal? They never blacklisted him. They just wont waste hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring him over to race when it comes out of their earnings from their event. If Deegan was in their...
