If the AMA receives money from us riders to protect our rights to ride and receives money from the motorcycle manufacturers... Would that be a conflict of interest? Yes.
This conflict of interest allows Honda to ruler industry coincidentally they're the number one advertiser for Racer X Illustrated and those of the same people that own the AMA.
This conflict of interest guarantees all the shootouts you read are fixed. Whoever is spending the most money on advertising is the best bike. That's why the magazines never agree.
This conflict of interest created the four stroke era made this sport too expensive and have killed your sport. In hindsight it was obvious that Hondas agenda for the four stroke was more important than the people's right to have something they can work on, and cheap to maintain.
This conflict of interest has led to the most dangerous SUPERCROSS and motorcross tracks ever built.
This conflict of interest refuses to allow riders union and this is why Ryan V retired because it is too dangerous.
This conflict of interest has created a unproportional purse but does not reflect the amount of money the promoters are making.
The dream of being a #FactoryRider is the true driver for the whole sport. If parents don't think their kid is going to become a millionaire they're not gonna let her kid risk their life. This year supposedly the "Sport is healthy" and there are less rides than ever for the pros.
This conflict of interest is allowing our sport to be owned by the same people that abuse elephants and own circuses. SUPERCROSS is not a circus.
The money the AMA is illegally and on morally receiving from the manufactures should go directly to their riders union. That helps with medical expenses and the journeyman that make our sport great.

Riders don't run the sport and are replaceable. That's the big fact.
I'm not saying I wish it wouldn't happen because it would be great if it did but there is no chance in hell. It's fun to bench talk about it and wish but it won't happen, simply because it can not happen.
& your "Never Say Never" is frankly GranMa Talk!!.., sorry, but it is.
I've witnessed this over several generations of Riders.
In this country in SX&Moto it will never come to be.

NASCAR drivers have an "alliance" now that carries clout amazingly. Never thought it'd survive but they have.
Moto is a voluntary sport ,i guess they all are,but one does not have to take the risk.
RacerX (mxsports) rents the rights for motocross from the AMA.
So thats pretty much the same thing as racerx owns ama.
MxSports (RacerX) owns nothing, and leases the rights from someone else. Either way they don't own the AMA..... how does MxSports' leasing from DMG mean they own the AMA? I missed that leap.
Pit Row
Let's just imagine the Racers walking off the track over a safety concern. All of them. No Safety, No dough, no show!
Guess who would have a #RacersSafetyUnion the next day? When the promoters Call, text and start begging the #TopGuys to comeback then they can make concessions to fix things.

Ryan V is pres of #RacersUnion
Pre selected X pro Racers inspect certify and sign off on each and every track before it is raced.
But don't let any of those facts confuse your unique #reality

No one complains about the sport as much as you Matthes. What are the solutions? #WhatWouldMatthesDo?
Conflict of interest, very unprofessional.
