JRCF29 8,230 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 The FBI released a statement today concluding their investigation into the "noose"- actually a garage door cable fashioned as a noose- found in NASCAR Driver Bubba Wallace's garage was placed there in October of 2019. Bubba Wallace, the only NASCAR driver who is an African-American, did not occupy the garage at that time. The FBI had been investigating the noose/cable as a possible hate crime; ESPN ran an editorial yesterday blaming "racing's racists" and NBA player Lebron James said that the incident was "sickening." Today's news has not yet drawn a response from James or Wallace, but the ESPN article has a disclaimer at the top.

But he wouldn't have been in the garage to see it before Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suspicious about this the moment it hit the news. Doubt he'll cancel I've just seen an advert for it. If I had to guess I'd say it will go like this: "I'm glad that the noose was not, in fact, a racist hate crime, but I'm also glad it called attention to an important issue because even though this was just a misunderstanding dozens of hate crimes- and probably more- happen across the country every day. The fact that I even thought- that we even thought- this could have been a hate crime, a white supremacist attack, speaks to how much work we still have to do in the sport and as a country." bookmark me Don't Call Me Gaga Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
killerstiletto 185 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I saw this tweet. If it's true, then we can't really blame him if he was just going off of what Nascar told him. Dance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suspicious about this the moment it hit the news. Suspicious about what. A noose was found. If it was there in Oct2019 before he got the garage then how is he like Smollett? Are you saying he planted it in October of 2019 before it was his garage? That makes alot of sense.

I don't know how I would have reacted." I guess you didn't bother to watch the whole video that you posted. You made up your mind about his "guilt" already.
