Is it possible to post the numbers that reveal how many dollars in revenue NASCAR has lost because they banished the Confederate flag on June 10, 2020?
Not since they banished the Confederate flag, but because they banished the Confederate flag.

If Democrat singers can make political statements, then the audience should also be allowed to wear Democrat flags.

Three thoughts:
1) What passes for country music anymore is just pop stars with hats.
2) CMA is a private organization and can do what ever the hell they like.
and...
3)

Almost (but not quite) like the peaceful protests that took place across the country this past weekend?

I haven't seen coverage of the latest protests and disturbances in the wake of the SCOTUS ruling on abortions, but is anyone going to say that Confederate flags were being waved and paraded by the people who don't like that ruling? Those are the people—the people that don't like the ruling—that would be more aligned (by and large) with the Democratic Party and its candidates and officeholders.

In Phoenix, they surrounded the capitol building while the state legislature was in session, trapping them in the building. They tore down the fences and tried to break through the doors. They vandalized a number of monuments and war memorials. The DPS had to use tear gas to run them off. Of course you will not read about it in the Village Voice.
One important difference here was that our lawmakers did not fear for their lives, many were armed. How do you like them apples?

That's news to me. I haven't been as "plugged in" over the last few days as has been my previously longstanding custom. But this thread had its origin in the decision by the Country Music Association to banish the Confederate battle flag and other imagery of the Confederacy.
Is that "woke"..? I think it is very wrong-headed for anyone to describe that as being "woke" or succumbing to "woke." To ban, or to emphatically renounce the Confederate battle flag and the like. I say that is not "woke." I say, very emphatically, that is not "woke." I deplore that anyone considers that to be "woke."
This forum has the phenomenon of those that are constantly "going on" about how the Left misappropriates and misuses the "racism" accusation—not without reason—but this is kind of a mirror-world phenomenon, where "Right" replaces "Left", and "woke" replaces "racist."

Woke is a term coined by the left to replace the hackneyed phrase "politically correct". It has no equivalence to the left's misuse and abuse of the term racist, which has become a meaningless epithet.
