It was widely reported that First Lady Michelle Obama and Jill Biden were booed at the NASCAR season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway held on Nov 20, 2011. At least some fans chose to boo them. There was actually much cheering for the pair too, as can be attested by listening to the clip on YouTube. Evidently many NASCAR fans do not believe in academia's idea of freedom of speech which means booing off the stage anyone who disagrees with your agenda. Nevertheless a few NASCAR fans voiced their displeasure to what has happened to the country they love. What followed of course were invectives on the part of the progressive cultural elites about the "inbred, racist, ignorant, red necks who watch NASCAR". This got me thinking about NASCAR's role as a sport, actually its unique role as a sport.
