Don’t see the logo on his shroud, and there is now a black bar over the font of the logo on his jersey?

Anyone know why that got censored? Is it like Bud Light getting nixed?

Maybe the deal fell through and they had already made his gear and graphics

I saw this coming, Feld or someone else probably provided info saying that X amount of their viewership i under 18 or 19. This makes alcoholic beverages and THC/CBD company unable to advertise at their events. I could be wrong though but I think it's something along these lines.

As far as i know there is no age limit on CBD oil consumption.

Just saw a picture and he still had the logo on his van, I would assume that if Feld had an issue with it they would make him cover that up as well.

Like someone suggested above I think maybe the deal fell through last minute but they already had gear and graphics ready. Just guessing, though.

CBD needs no advertising. They are making Walter White look like a Chicle' peddler.

I guarantee, if they were buying ad space at the race venue or on the tv show, they wouldn’t be blocking anything.

Speaking of that, I was reading the comments on his IG post about it and someone said, Holy shit dude, being recognized by Dan Bilzerian is better than a factory ride....this is what society has come to, sad.

It makes sense to bad it the same as banning tobacco advertising. I’m surprised Dean was so open about it and also associates himself with it.

However, money coming into the sport isn’t a bad thing. The energy drinks are hardly good for you

Correct me if I’m wrong but the only post I’ve seen with it censored is on Motoplayground, a page aimed towards young riders. My guess is someone got triggered and didn’t want their young audience to see or be influenced by said marijuana company “ignite”

I started this thread after seeing it with my own eyes during the qualifying stream. They didn’t censor the picture, the picture is of the censored jersey.

In fairness, Bilzerian has more social media followers than our whole industry has combined.

Yes.. it is. How stupid is this. Pretty much everyone on earth agrees cbd has 0 “evil” high and is very beneficial to health. MUCH more than Monster and Red Bull... hypocrite fux... Yea an herbal soreness remedy is evil but sugar and caffeine loaded poison drinks are fine. ‘Murica! NBC-Nobody Buys Cannabis...

Evil plant? While it was keeping your ancestors healthy up until the 1930s, bout the same time big pharma realized they couldn't make money of a plant.

This sport is always on cutting edge of bringing it sponsors...watch next week Feld steals the sponsor from Dean and it's ok!
