This really isn't any better guys. Rise above these people - that's the example we are trying to set here right ML512? In 2017 the use of "retard" and "homo" isn't cool.

I 100% agree that what these guys did is completely beyond pathetic and shows their lack of class and general IQ.

Pretty stupid of them, Marvin's a great guy and awesome competitor. I'm just not a fan of his cross jumping

I'm sure it's because Marvin isn't American or they're just that big of a Tomac fan boy. I'm a big Tomac fan (I like Dungey as well) and I'm always pulling for the Americans to win. But I've had to come to realization about Marvin, the boy is a damn good fellow. If you cant like MM you need to look in the mirror as that is where the problem lies.. Marvin and his wife are two young kids living a dream that he's worked his ass off for (and she's been by his side the whole way).

If I'll ever be okay with a foreigner winning a title here it will be when Marvin wins one (I know he won the lites title in SX and i'm proud of the boy).

There's dumbass's in every discipline and all over the world. Some of you like to say all Nascar fans are redneck hillbillies. It's just not so. Sure, some are but I know a lot of great, normal people whom just happen to love Nascar (I don't care for it personally). As far as just stupid Americans, well the rest of the world has idiots to.
Yep, well said.

I agree. At least get creative. Maybe something about how Marv saw the white flag and thought it meant he had to surrender.

Or like one shirt I saw from a Bagget fan at Dallas that had a picture of him wheeling off the line said "My favorite wheelie boy".

Some fans can poke fun at riders in good taste, and I think it's great. These guys are too dumb to make anything funny, and heckling his mechanic and wife is over the line.
They're anger should be directed at the AMA for NOT enforcing the rules.

They're right up there with this guy, who was loudly yelling insults at Ryan Dungey, who was on top of the hill, watching the action.

When I caught up with him later, and asked if he was the guy yelling, he smugly said, "Yeah."

I shot a few photos, and told him, "Cool. Now I have images of the biggest asshole at Hangtown."

Harassment not ok. Free speech ok.

Sucks that there's people in this sport that have to act like that but it's nothing new. James used to deal with racism pretty bad, his entire family actually. I think I remember him saying Southwick was especially bad.

Devil's advocate here. Marv is a grown man married to a hottie with at least a million bucks rolling into the bank account every year. He'll live.
These guys are dickwads but I'm glad there's fans out there who care enough to be a dickhead about something. Fans of other sports get much, much uglier and everybody lives. Of course we still all have the right to criticize these guys.
From the moment I saw the NJSX, I felt bad for Ryan and Marv, even though I was not a fan of the stunt they pulled. I felt bad because they were two young guys who I'm sure did not expect the enormous negative blowback from the fans. On some level, it's going to follow them permanently.

Are you saying you've never seen the "F*ck Jimmy Johnson" shirts?

Me too. He came from nothing in So Cal, raced Moto and off road and now he is the 2nd most successful NASCAR driver of all time. Not to mention he has a smoking hot wife and they do amazing charity work even with his tight schedule

Might want to find someone else to complain to as Vital mods used to give out awards using some of the same language above.

Those two clueless goofs should expect a bit of shit for what they started. Marvin is one of the nicest guys out there and his wife is just pure class. Not two people you could pick on and expect it to go your way.

i had already taken my shirt off when i read "f*ck Jimmy Johns"

but then i realized he wasn't talking about the sandwich king, so i put it back on and am now thinking about whether i want a #10 or a #14 for lunch.

Jimmie Johnson is cool too tho

I also take issue with the use of "retard", when you get down to it it's pretty low to use that word the way it gets thrown around. For what it's worth.

While i don't agree with the harassment of his wife and team, you guys would be really butthurt if you attended a hockey game at which the road team was losing against a rival. I guess racing is different because one mistake could end really bad.

I think the shirts are ok and saying the are printing some pullovers this fall is funny.

Talking shit to his wife is classless but the rest is ok.

As I said before cuz people seem to forget.... Fan is short for fanatical and the definition of fanatical is?????

fa·nat·i·cal
fəˈnadək(ə)l/Submit
adjective
filled with excessive and single-minded zeal.
"fanatical revolutionaries"
synonyms: zealous, extremist, extreme, militant, dogmatic, radical, diehard; More
obsessively concerned with something.
"he was fanatical about security at night"
synonyms: enthusiastic, eager, keen, overkeen, fervent, ardent, passionate; More


So, their actions are about on par with the very definition, correct? LoL...

Their actions are not consistent with the way the word is used 99.9% of the time.

Why are you even trying to argue semantics in a thread about a couple of douchebags?

I bet you they wire-wheeled their stock pipes to give them that custom factory look, but they went too far and ground some holes in them. Now they are all blowed out and make a wicked pinging sound when they ride. Of course they're angry.
