Man, for as many people that hate this guy, they sure seem to be pretty emotionally invested in his decisions. The way haters follow this guy's name around is insane!
IE: Look at how quickly the "Views" climb for this thread. Look how fast threads that have his name in them jump up in pages. Some people need to get a life.

I think it comes down to a lot of disappointed people. When you break patterns (recent years of one or two dominant riders) and parody enters the scene, people don't know how to react. So they react by hating the man that was supposed to continue the pattern of domination. We had a series of riders that really elevated the sport, and then Carmichael came and completely took it to another level with his work ethic. Then came James Stewart who had an insane amount of talent and people thought "If he could just keep working, he'll be the greatest rider this sport has seen." But then things didn't come together and James hasn't been what people thought he would so clearly become. Now we have a bunch of butt-hurt assholes that follow James like lost puppies.

Prolly a very large percent.
Love him or hate him, we sure talk about him!
There's a Pastrana thread (one of the legends of the sport) that's been up for over an hour and has less views than this one does. Just look at all the time-stamps vs. the views, and you'll see that if any of those keywords (JS7, James Stewart, etc...) are present in the thread title, it has more view/more posts in less time than the rest on the front page.

Im not a big Stewart fan, but I dont dislike him, and I am damn glad he is racing outdoors. I am just curious to see what he is going to be riding. You would think that if he was riding for JGR, it would have said it in the tweet, but he said more news to follow. Cant wait!
I honestly think the posters have as much to do with it as the subject himself. There are some die hard Stewart fans, and they showed long ago that their feathers can be ruffled easily. I would bet there are some people that get into JS7 threads just to mess with Kongols. Same with the 2 stroke threads. I don't hate 2 strokes, but I sure love screwin' with the core group of 2 stroke enthusiasts on here.
FYI, I clicked this thread to see if you were the first ass to start another one about him racing Hangtown so I could give you crap since there is already one on the first page.... Guess that makes me the ass now

How many time has this happened where the top number one guy in a sport fails at something and falls from grace and is ignored? Even back before the Forums like Vitalmx when Bradshaw melted down and walked away it was in all the mags every month so its nothing new except we have and read thousands of opinions and not just a few from the mags. If some of you guys cant handle it and take it personal when a rider you like fails then maybe you should find a magazine to read and stay off the forums that way you will only have to read one or two personal opinions and not have to interact with hundreds of people on a forum who can post their opinion.
