It bothers me how often Emig has mentioned Anderson's "new Husqvarna FC 450 Rockstar Edition" and that Chad Reed choses to ride the "standard Husqvarna FC 450" and this is the internet so I came to complain about it.

He does a pretty good job of mentioning other brands as well. Non issue.



But as you said, internet and stuff...

It's exactly that! One of his jobs is a platform he uses to do his other job!

"A conflict of interest (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial or otherwise, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation or decision-making of that individual or organization."

As long as he doesn't say that White Husqvarna is better than the red Honda, I don't care

It would have been nice for them to talk about Brayton for even 30 seconds in his heat win.

Kind of like how Fox Sports only brings in riders in the booth, etc, that are sponsored by their Fox gear division.

No conflict.
Chad has been very vocal about liking more flex in a frame.
A lot of the hype of the RE is about the more rigid frame.
Well that and he probably got a good deal on the factory parts from the old model.

I don’t think Chad was able to get his hands on the RE.

Btw, Jason’s up-front quite a bit...so...well, there’s always that little fact.

Right? No coincidence that the Monster PC guys run that gear.

I was thinking the same thing. He's not one of the cool guys I guess. Pathetic

Since this is headed south can I just call it an interest of conflict instead?

In the interest of conflict, no you may not.

It was ridiculous that in the next heat Fro talked about Friese for about 1.5 minutes while Brayton got barely a breath. It really is time for some changes in the booth.

It is a factual statement that Wilson is on the Rock Star Edition and Reed is not. Unless anyone with any brand affiliation whatsoever is in a conflict of interest when working as an announcer, there is no problem here.

So, I am kind of playing around here, but I do feel that Emig has always hyped his brand a bit more than others in the booth, like RC with Suzuki.

I don't recall RC ever plugging his team as an owner. In fact, I always thought he steered clear of it to the point of awkwardness. I do remember his saying if one of his riders went any slower they would fall over though.

And Monster is the title sponsor of the series and several teams. Which makes them Ralph's employer.

There are conflicts of interest everywhere. I'd love for them to clean em up but singling out just one of the many is a waste of time.
