Mickey mouse championship
Mickey mouse championships pay Disney dollars though 💰
Without an overall. Points and all but hardly dominant.
Love how everyone is up in arms about the championship yet are fine with the superbowl deciding a champion in 1 game. Or nascar deciding a champion in 1 race.
We have MX and SX titles up for grab. There’s nothing wrong with a finale championship at the end.

You don’t get extra points for being dominant. Jason Anderson only won 2 out of 17/18 races in 2018, but do you know what they call him? Champ…
The butt hurt is strong with some of you.
He did win an O/A....his 5-2 gave him 1st O/A...Jo was 2nd with a 4-4
$500 000,00 is Mickey mouse for you?
Exactly. Playoffs work.
Give the kid some Props, a few months back, he was racing Futures. Well done is SX, MX, and now SMX....especially his 2nd moto results after the tough first moto last night The kid is for real, and is fun to watch.
I like Jo Shimoda, but sorry to say, 4-4 was a choke, especially for that kind of money (500k.)
His guy didnt win is why he said that
Danger Boy rode smart focusing on achieving the big carrot dangling in front of him.
His banker and accountant are both very happy.
It just seems odd that you can win a title for the 2 different series, then win another title after 3 more rounds, whereas football and Nascar only crown a champion after that "1 event". Seems like a bonus prize, not a actual title.
Isn't that exactly what it is, a bonus prize? It's not like anyone was really asking for this. They made it up to take away from the WSX. It's cool for sure but are you saying Deegan has 1 title now? I'm not. Just like James 2006 World SX championship. It's a novelty
It is a title though, whether anyone likes it/wants it to be or not. It's a new combined championship and he ended up with the most points between sx, mx, and three playoff rounds.
I don't get why people are complaining. SX champion, MX champion, and a combined champion including playoffs. I think it's great. Long overdue actually.
Wanted Jo to pull it off, but happy for Haiden all the same.
Side note, did anyone else find it weird how the Deegans behaved when watching the race? I get the nerves that come with watching your kid compete, but how does that manifest into looking like you’re tweaking on hard drugs? Not at all suggesting that was the case, just found it comical how much Brian in particular looked every junky I’ve seen - weird face contortions and bobbing around so much I thought he might fall over. Bizarre.
Dude looked like every senior playing a video game for the first time. If I could make gifs, I'd photoshop a fuckin game controller in his hands 🤣
theyre only up in arms cus its deegan, if it was hunter shimoda cooper, etc...theyd be all for it

Curious how this championship monetizes on his social media.
My guess is this championship is a test to see if a playoff system would be accepted by the fans of the sport of SX and MX. This is a win win test for both FELD and MX Sports as they can test the concept with no risk to their series. If the TV ratings and fans in the stands work out good both the SX and MX series will go with a playoff system and this race goes away.
I’m usually negative, I was on the edge of my seat all night. I really enjoyed smx
I agree with you, but the OP didn't present a apples to apples comparison.
If it sticks around it will build prestigious. I know I'm coming off negative about it.
Love him, hate, him whatever you want, the kid didn’t buckle under the pressure and has shown he can ride a dirt bike with the best of them. I think it’s pretty awesome to see what he has achieved this last year.
I agree, but some are acting like it is the biggest title ever, since their rider won it...
I think a lot of y’all are missing what “Mickey Mouse” means. It just means it’s gimmicky and made up. It’s not as historical or prestigious as the motocross or supercross championships because it’s just a money grab.
maybe that doesn’t matter to you, but that’s what that means. It comes from soccer where being Mickey Mouse is a big taboo.
I like Deegan and don’t wanna discount him but this thing IS Mickey Mouse though.
Nah, Deegan fans are way more rabid than any other rider's right now.
he seemed VERY uh present.
I wanted to find a reason to root against the Deegans. I've held my old man grudge against FMX since Travis took that path. I see the balls and talent required to do it...but I wanted those skills displayed on the track...not a sideshow.
I wasn't sure what direction DaddyD was directing Dangerboy. From what I can see...Brian is fully behind a 100% effort in MX/SX. I may not agree with how they direct the social media but...results don't lie. He earned this season.
I don't think someone can do what Brian does consistently for many, many years while using drugs.
He has a unique personality, but the way Brian and Marissa are raising their kids, the thought that goes into decisions and being open about most of it, is a big part of what makes me a fan of the Deegan family.
They deserve what's happening right now with Haiden.
