(4,742 posts)I do enjoy watching various sports...NASCAR and most car racing are not part of that mix. But to call everyone who enjoy NASCAR a redneck is like calling everyone who watches golf a snob.
I "get" NASCAR. The back stories of the drivers, pit crews, managers/racing teams, etc. It entertains millions just as baseball, basketball, football, hockey, etc. And for the so-called "tolerant left" on DU, I shudder everytime I see someone bash someone else for enjoying a various sport or hobby.
When I was about 8 years old I fell in love with the organ. (Not THAT organ...that was at about 14 years old.) But when you are a kid taking organ lessons all during middle and high school it isn't the most popular thing in the world. I was called a fag, wimp, etc. The organ jokes were endless at times. Now I'm 38 and people seem amazed I know how to sit down at a large pipe organ and play one.
