To each his own an all, but I agree - he completely misses the point. Certainly not a solid career move either.

I wonder if he would have been similarly uncomfortable with a German or Italian driver winning. Who am I kidding? He wouldn’t have thought twice about it.

Twitter is like a magnet for assholes.
I remember when Frei from back in the Avs bandwagon days when he was just another knowledge-free hack pretending to know something. Looks like nothing changed.

So I guess he’s okay with Montoya, Kanaan, and Castroneves? And another dozen or so non-american winners from the last 2 decades?
What a tool.

It’s worse than that, if you read his apology it is specifically because Sato is Japanese and WWII.

You know I thought it might be something like that, but I just did not want to say it.

His apology is a fucking wreck. It’s amazing how he made himself into an even bigger asshole during his apology.

As some of you have seen from the politics threads I post on here, I’m pretty liberal and I’m for an inclusive society.
That being said, how are we ever going to move forward as a society if people get crucified for a mistake, even if they apologize? All the piling on does is drive us further apart and make each side dig in and become more stubborn.
If you fuck up one time, realize you fucked up, and you apologize for said fuck up, the apology should be accepted and we should move on. Being intolerant of other people’s admitted mistakes on intolerance is hypocritical and not going to solve anything.

I guess we won’t have to wait until Tuesday. Hope the asshole is enjoying the holiday- he’s got plenty more days off to come!

I guess he [frei] can’t separate a holiday and motorsports events. human brains don’t always work correctly.

Italians are sometimes darker than Japanese people, so you never know.

His “apology” was a sorry not sorry, sorry if it offended you, train wreck.

I agree with you in general, but in this case I have two issues with that.
1) His apology was terrible and insincere, like LBC said, and came after he basically doubled down in another tweet.
2) He may apologize for
voicing
his racist views, but he’s neither apologizing for nor trying to change the fact that he
has
these racist views.

Meh. Personally I found the tweet in question a bit of a let down after how much the news stories hyped it up.
Besides, it wasn’t even racist. It was nationalist, to be pedantic. I find the fact that it was described as such more offensive than some guy being mad that a non-American won the Indy 500.

After finding out that he plugged his book in the first draft, I’ve got no problem with him getting canned.

I would be uncomfortable with Alonso winning the Indy 500 on Memorial Day weekend.
You know with the Spanish-American war of 1898 and everything...

no loss to society, if the idiot is going to hate the Japanese let it be the actual perps not guilt by association
