Man how cringe was the episode last night when Steve and Daniel Blair discussed the GL situation. I enjoyed Blair’s take on it but Steve sounded like a idiot. I haven’t missed a pulp show in 5 years, my dad and I BS about the show all week and think it’s great. But after listening to Steve compare the GL situation to someone walking in a 7/11 with no shirt was disgusting.
Anyone else feel the same?

GL was gonna quit after this year anyway. This was his opportunity to give himself some extra attention on the way out….
I always thought he did a good job but not “earth shatteringly” better than anyone else, we’ll be just fine without him.
the racing will go on.
I don't support Fro getting hate though, that's BS.

On them when it dosent even work. Like grant said take it or don’t it should be a individual choice, look at Austria/look at these foreign countries and what’s going on,look at how slowly everything is coming to the United states, they want our guns,our rights and freedom. It’s a scary time in this world right now and people are starting to stand up for what they believe in.
The other problem is the vaccine was rushed and its only 66% effective against delta variant. It doesnt prevent you from getting or spreading covid.
If this was a serious disease like polio i could understand. But its a severe cold with a 99.99% survival rate.
1. Vaccine mandates helped the US win the revolutionary war, some guy named George Washington thought it was a good idea for his soldiers to be vaccinated against smallpox
2. Thomas Jefferson was the first president to enact a vaccine mandate to the public.
3. James Madison, the guy who wrote the US constitution, also founded the US Vaccine agency
4. The Supreme Court ruled in 1905 that vaccine mandates are legal and just. One citizen does not have the right to put others at risk. Jacobson v. Massachussetts if you want to do more reading on it.
5. The original anti-vaxxer was Benjamin Franklin, but he changed his tune after his unvaccinated son died of smallpox.
I do agree with him about everything else though. Grant has an opinion on the topic which is totally fine. NBC has a policy they’re going to implement which is fine too. At the end of the day, whether you’re pro or anti covid vax, there’s going to be major push back on forcing people to get it. i know a lot of people who are vaccinated and a lot who are not. I respect both their wishes. But one thing everyone I know agrees on is you shouldn’t be forced to get vaccinated.
And...here....we...go....
A private company can ask you to wear a shirt and shoes, why not a mask when you enter the door. A private company can refuse to bake you a wedding cake if you are gay, why not for other reasons that are your "personal choices".
A private company can make you take a drug test, why? What business is it of theirs what you do when you aren't at work? Most private companies can also fire you for no reason. A 40 hour work-week is standard for most hourly employees but salary/contract employees routinely work more hours without additional compensation. Why place limits on what a private company can ask of its workers now?
Pit Row
And like someone else mentioned, when Trump was pushing it, you heard so many people claiming they would never get it. Now that the office has switched, those same people make it their identity. GL went out of his way to not say it was politically driven, but somehow it always still becomes that, at the root of it. I don't think he was using this for an opportunity to push an agenda as much as he just didn't agree with the policy, which I respect. I'm vaccinated and to me it makes sense. I am on the fence a bit about forcing people to take it.
It amazes me how many people can't separate Grant's issue from the mandatory vaccination discussion. Two completely separate issues. It's like some people are mentally incapable of separating the two discussions.
I guess I’ll throw my toxicity in. I’m vaccinated and totally fine with the decision I made but I believe it is disgusting that so many people support discrimination against those who don’t want it in their body for whatever reason they have.
Steve is very closed minded and doesn’t recognize that “logic” is subjective. He has a good heart so I don’t say that in a damning way but his reaction to this is exactly what I expected.
What exactly is the point of a drug test for employment?
