Can we make up our own and have you add them to the poll?

Not only am I saddened by Deegan's on-track behaviors, I am equally taken aback by the privilege and "doesn't apply to me"/"better than thou" attitude.

Him going to other riders' pits to confront them, arguing with the AMA officials, etc. Not OK.

He seems to think the world revolves around him, he's coached to respond "just enough" on social media to address controversy but not apologize, it's just ... yuck.

He doesn't seem to have genuine care for anyone but himself.

I get it's competition, but McGrath, Carmichael, etc., didn't exhibit these types of behaviors ever in my recollection.

That's what bums me out. He's setting an example for others - and the example is do whatever benefits him at all costs. I guess this is the modern day ... but it doesn't have to be that way. At. All.

My vote for a name is: Downfall Boy

 

P.S. Is Deegan a good rider? Absolutely! Let clean riding and a safe & metered approach speak for itself - it's an even more powerful statement. "Kill it with kindness - and skill."

I read or heard "Hazard Haiden" somewhere and thought that it was pretty fitting.

He is not my favourite, but I vote for this thread being closed/deleted. He doesn't deserve this, it's just stupid and immature. I'm team Forkner & HRC, but this is hitting below the belt I think, not cool.

Is it more immature than yelling “welcome to the danger zone” while sticking your tongue out like a 12 year old on the podium?

It's called building the brand. That's what the kid was taught to do.

And he has to live with the repercussions when he does some childish shit and people call him diaperboy or danger baby.

I was telling my buddy last night that particular moment was the down-fall of Deegan. Very cringey.

In fairness, nickname wise 'Danger Boy' already sounds plenty gay 😂

Not piling on, it just sounds pretty cheesy now he's an adult, maybe time to let it go. I'm sure the 'brand' is solid enough without it.

It has to be depressing when you have to reply to your own post.

Almost as depressing as a grown man coming up with nicknames for a 17 year old kid who's doing stupid things like we all did when we were 17.

Grow up.
